Kansas wedding
Our Daughter got married in Soldotna and our immediate family all stayed together in this amazing house. There was room to relax and enjoy each other, especially the access to the Kenai River. the view from the kitchen window is amazing. If you have a big group, this is a great place to be. You would actually never have to leave it!

Alaska family vacation
The house is actually nicer than the pictures. It’s just outside Soldatna on a gravel road on the banks of the Kenai along with some other nice homes. Plenty of room for everybody. We were in between salmon runs so bank fishing was unsuccessful. So we primarily fished on the Russian river in Cooper Landing 50 minutes away. We caught so many quality rainbows that we lost count. It was truly epic.

Amazing River Property
This place was absolutely amazing and everything we imagined and more. The communication beforehand was great as they answered every question clearly and quickly. The check in process was seamless and easy. But the property…. Was truly amazing. River views from everywhere, super clean and the house has tons of room. It had everything we could ever use. Oh and the fishing was amazing…. Careful of the one log under the middle of the dock that ate my red gear over and over again. You couldn’t do much better than this property. Second time staying on this street in the last two years. 5 stars and highly recommended.

Great for families
Our large extended family age 4 yr to 67 years loved this beautiful home. Lots of space to spread out. Despite the rainy weather we had a great time by the fire pit. The kitchen has everything to do with cooking you could ask for. The home was clean and well kept. As a frequent VRBO user for many years this has been my favorite. We hope to come back again. Also for anyone who needs something to do during the rain my adult kids tell me the shop has excellent acustics.

The view was incredible! Caught many salmon from the fantastic fishing platform. We saw eagles nearly everyday and owls in the evening. The house was extremely comfortable with every amenity provided. There was plenty of room for our family and the location was perfect. We have made so many family memories.

Family and Fishing!
This was a fantastic place for our group of 10 adults. The fisherpeople in our family loved catching salmon right off the private platform! The large, extremely well-equpped kitchen came in handy as we prepared the fresh-caught fish for dinner. Multiple large gathering spaces as well as smaller private spaces made it ideal for our group of siblings and spouses.
Seeing several moose durining our stay was an added bonus!

Best place on the Kenai Peninsula!
This place was AMAZING and PERFECT for our family! We have a large group - three generations from 7 to 75 - and it worked out so well! Enough space for everyone to get away, yet areas to be together. Top of the line kitchen and accessories helped save money by eating in. Everything was clean and welcoming! Highly recommend!
