About this property

Old Town Kenai Bluff House, Breathtaking Views

Kenai Bluff House is located in downtown historic Kenai. The house was built in 1935, and bought by my grandparents in 1947. My dad was raised in this house! Of course, the house has been remodeled and has all the modern conveniences, but has a wonderful and rich family history. The home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of room for your whole family.

The property has a large lawn and outdoor furniture for enjoying the stunning view of Cook Inlet. You can watch the fishing boats come and go with the tide. Eagles often land right on the lawn as they are out cruising for their next ocean meal.

Kenai is a small town and the “downtown” is quaint and quiet. The home is located at the end of a residential street. It is located next door to Erik Hansen Scout Park, a small community park and contains a bronze statue of a Boy Scout overlooking the Cook Inlet. Interpretive displays point out many physical features of the landscape and a memorial plaque is attached to the base of the statue. Park includes few trees, some shrubs, two flower gardens, and a gravel walkway leading to the bluff’s edge. This is a great area just to sit, relax and enjoy the extensive views over the lower Cook Inlet, tidal lands, and mouth of the Kenai River.

We are located within walking distance of the historical Russian Orthodox Church and Kenai Visitor and Convention Center which has a historical walking tour available within this area. This property is on the walking tour, as The Showalter House (#10) !!

There are several nice places to eat where you can walk as well.

Reasonable rates per night for four people. No separate cleaning fee. However, guests must not leave fish remains on property. Cleaning fee applies if fish remains are left on property.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Beautiful views, great neighborhood

All was good, especially the views and the neighborhood. There is a cute coffee house nearby, a couple of neighborhood bars and a burger bus! The kitchen lacked a few things, but we were out so much it ended up not being a big deal. The house could use a little warmth, but price was right, location was great and the host was easy to work with!

No Internet

We enjoyed the house and view. It was absolutely fantastic! The kitchen did lack a few supplies as far as pots and pans, and the Internet did not work for the entirety of the trip…… But who needs that when you’re in Alaska!! Very accessible to salmon, fishing and other attractions.Other than that, it’s an absolute gorgeous place and would highly suggest staying at this property!!

Gorgeous location! Truly the most beautiful views of anywhere we’ve ever stayed. It’s also huge, which was great. Plenty of space for a big group. The house is old (it’s historic, but it also just feels old— creaky, tired furniture, no screens on windows, etc.), and it could’ve been cleaner. The upstairs shower had a leak, but the owners were prompt in responding about this issue and refunded part of the cost. Kenai is a beautiful little town. Thanks for having us.

We absolutely loved this place! There's so much space and we felt so at home. Tried to stay longer but they were all booked up. Lesson learned, book this place early! If we ever get the chance to come back to Alaska, we will definitely be staying here!

This place was great. Not right on the shoreline like the pictures indicate, but really enjoyable. We had fires in the back yard fire pit and eagles land feet from us and what a great time. Highly recommend to stay here. Personally plan on another stay here. Thanks

Love the view, right on the bluff, overlooking the mouth of the Kenai River and ocean; plus mountains! Property is old, but very roomy and nice set up; it does need some minor maintenance, and it was sometimes difficult to get a response from owners when we had questions. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Great location and plenty of room. Not nasty dirty but not as clean as it should be. We saw in guest book a baseball team eating three meals a day was here before us but some of the dirt was before them. I would stay again for location and split bedrooms were good for separating kids and us old folks.

Beautiful views!

This property is in a fantastic location, with the best views ever! The house is old but large and great for families or large groups. The kitchen is large but could use more consistency with dishes. The house does need some minor maintenance, and small fixes that would go a long way. We had a great time and really enjoyed the large yard, fire pit and especially the views.

Amazing views and updated house!!!

The pictures of the view on this site do not do it justice!!! The house is a tall bluff that looks over the ocean/Kenai river mouth and has mountains across the ocean that create the most amazing sunset you've ever seen! The house is plenty big for lots of people with lots of sleeping room. Fantastic!

Great house for 3 families (8 of us) to stay in. Space for every one to have their own space! Loved having a view of the water, the teens loved venturing down the road for beach access and checking the beaches for sea creatures during low tide. We had eagles fly by all the time and even have a couple stop in the yard. Thanks for sharing your house with us!!

The house had beautiful views and was spacious. It is an older home that could use some TLC though to make it truly exceptional. The kitchen was rather hit and miss on dishes. We also had some issues with the wifi but the owners were helpful getting it fixed when they were contacted. Overall I would recommend the location but some extra effort in the house would really make it Great!

Love Old Town

We fish the Kenai every year and usually camp or spend 2 nights in a hotel. This year we had family visiting from out of state. We planned 2 different fishing trips so needed to stay for 5 days. A house was the perfect solution. The location was perfect with a great view of the mouth of the river and the inlet. My husband spent several hours on the bluff watching dip netters and boats coming and going. We walked around the neighborhood and enjoyed the historic buildings. The house was well equipped and comfortable. We will come back!
