Really quaint cabin and the views off the back porch were amazing and quite relaxing to wake up to. The owners were very helpful and nice. Would definitely recommend staying there, and will probably go back another time. If you're looking for place with great people, pretty scenery and fishing access to a river, hit Bill up!

September fishing trip to Kenai

Excellent trip. Great location on the Kenai river. Owner and wife extremely helpful. Will rebook if we return to the area. The river was up due to the glacial flooding so fishing the middle Kenai was out for us; however when flow is normal you can catch salmon in front of your cabin. Also, the location in Sterling is ideal for fishing the entire peninsula.

Excellent Stay

My husband and I stayed here on a short trip. Bill and his wife were beyond accommodating. They were friendly, and took a significant amount of time to sit with us around the fire and chat. We enjoyed the fires they started for us daily. They offered advice on things for us to do, and let us use some of their fishing equipment. The resort is clean with a very large fishing area - definitely larger than other resorts we’ve stayed at. The resort is set very close to the water and the views of the river are amazing. The cabins are a perfect size and we could have fit 3 more people at least. This was our 5th visit to the Sterling area and our favorite place we have stayed so far. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I have stayed in a lot of "fishing resorts". This resort is hands down the best we have experienced. From the first greeting to preparing for departure, everything is handled with class. Book early! The view is spectacular and the owners and staff are top notch! Thank you for all of your assistance with our stay-we loved it! Tim and Pam Hayden

Kenai River retreat

This is my sixth trip to Alaska, and I DIY my fishing on the Kenai River, so what I need is a place that is comfortable with a full size kitchen. This place did not disappoint! Clean, with room to move around. Three adult men. A very nice gas grill on the deck with view of the river. Bill has a commercial grade vacuum packer with big freezers, so all fish were packaged and frozen for our return to the lower 48. Awesome people that were very accomodating.

Great spot on the river

We spent two nights at Bills cabin. It is in the perfect location for fishing on the Kenai and is close to a boat launch as well. The cabin is well appointed but only has single beds. The parking is a bit tight if you have a large vehicle. Bill is very friendly and accommodating.

ok

The owners were nice and the cabin was nice and clean, right on the river with good scenery. Just a few things to be aware of though...We were unable to fish the river in front of cabin, which was a huge disappointment for us. Homer was a good hour away, Seward also an hour and Anchorage over 2 hours. There is not a lot to offer nearby. There is no TV or radio in the cabin. The owners offered to clean and package our fish, which was awesome, but never told us that there would be a charge for this service. You can buy a box for your fish cheaper nearby and some captains will package your fish as part of your fishing excursion. There is a laundry mat and gas station nearby which was handy. The beds in cabin 3 - main bedroom are terrible! The neighbors were very loud late into the night over the weekend. I myself would not choose to stay in this area again, not because of the cabin but too far to travel to anything.
