Why the Owner Chose Soldotna
Jane has owned a Kenai river view cabin in Funny River since 1996. David and Jane upgraded to this beautiful home ON the Kenai River in Winter 2009.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Moose in the yard, eagles overhead, ducks and gulls swooping in on small fish. The fishing for king salmon, red salmon, silver salmon, and rainbow trout is FANTASTIC! The house is at the end of a road with only a half dozen houses - very quiet. You can hear the river flow from the sunny deck.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at your home. Everything was exactly as presented in your ad, so good job! And we really appreciated your flexibility with meeting us at our hotel and providing the fishing poles!!! I cannot believe how relaxing it was to sit on that platform with my family, poles in the water and watching the river flow! We had an incredible vacation! Again, we really enjoyed your home. Thank you!
