House on the river

This property is steps away from the beautiful Kenai River, with gorgeous views from the living room. We were able to fish on the private dock. We enjoyed our stay.

Great Cabin

Really a nice, well done, clean and big cabin. They've thought of everything to make it comfortable and the place was even bigger than expected which was great for two families. The property is true river front, can step outside and be fishing right in the Kenai, very nice setting.

Perfect for 2 families

This Beautifully appointed cabin in an amazing location made a perfect base for our exploration of the Keani Peninsula. Kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, and there’s a great grill on the deck,making it easy to cook our fresh caught fish.

Great location for large groups

The cabin was plenty spacious and accomodated our group well. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Plenty of linens and a washer/dryer on site. We loved fishing from the banks and caught many salmon. The hosts were very communicative and accomodating. 100% would stay again.

Great cabin on the river. Clean and comfy. Had all the essentials. Even a place to package and freeze our fish. We didn't have much luck catching fish off the platform but we did catch a few. It was a great location.

Log house on the river

The location worked well for us and it was nice being on the river. The house is older and the furnishings more dated and we had some hot water issues but this was taken care of when we called our host. We appreciated the set up for processing fish in the garage.

It was absolutely amazing! The bonus of having the salmon run right at the cabin, was spectacular too! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your little piece of paradise! We are thinking of making it a yearly family retreat! We hope that you found us to be respectful of your property and want to be invited back! Best Regards Butch Cross

Great cabin!

Plenty of room for our 8 guests with each group having their own bathroom. It has a view of the river with great access for fishing. The Cabin was equipped with plenty of towels, blankets, and kitchen items for cooking. The owner was extremely responsive before and during our stay. The only thing that came up was some of the beds were a little hard to sleep on. Overall, recommend for a large family!

The house is wonderful, well planned out and lots of space. Really impressed with the layout: there is separation and privacy for families and great gathering space. Love the access to the river although a couple of trees and I disagreed as to where my hook should end up. We did quite a bit of fishing and 4 people with licenses and limits had plenty of freezer space and nice bench space to vacuum seal. There is more fishing space up the road a piece-I would bring waders for that. Hosts checked with us upon check-in and any issues were handled promptly. I am working on returning next year.
