Summary: Raven Cabin @ Keystone Retreat is an adorable nicely appointed tiny house located on the world famous Kenai River. This cabin is a part of our family legacy home site and has been professionally designed and built to exclusively enjoy the amazing beauty year round along with world-renowned fishing. For larger groups, we have 4 units available on property and an additional 6 units across the street.
The Kenai River is the most popular sport fishing destination in Alaska. Each year there are two runs each of king salmon, coho salmon, sockeye salmon, plus a run of pink salmon every other year. The world record king salmon, which weighed about 44 kg (97 lb), was caught in the Kenai River in 1985. The Kenai is also the home of trophy size rainbow trout and Dolly Varden. Occasionally there will be reports of catching of "Steelhead"(Sea-run Trout). In recent years, the king salmon fishery has been closed or heavily restricted due to low returns of fish. The Coho salmon runs occur in early August and early October. The September run is favored by local anglers due to the larger size of the silver salmon. The sockeye salmon runs are in late-June and mid-July-August. Sockeyes are considered the premier salmon for eating, canning, and smoking.

The on demand hot water heater means you never run out of water, and kitchenette has a gas stove, microwave and cooking utensils for your use. The loft sleeping area has a Queen size bed with premium mattress and the sofa on the main floor is a single hide-a-bed. A Smart Tv is available with access to free movies and news as well you can login using your Netflix or other On-demand services for viewing your favorite programs.
Guest Access: There is free parking onsite as well as additional parking area across the street for guests or boat trailers.

This code gives you access to the laundry, ice and fish packaging equipment located in separate building on the property.
The Neighborhood: Tucked just five miles from the heart of Soldotna, this location feels worlds away. Surrounded by towering spruce and birch, with the sound of the Kenai River flowing nearby, it offers a rare balance of wild Alaskan beauty and quiet seclusion—yet with shops, dining, and conveniences only minutes down the road. It’s a place where eagles soar overhead, moose wander through the trees, and the midnight sun stretches across endless skies—all while keeping you close to everything Soldotna has to offer. There is a newly upgraded boat landing up river approximately 100 yards along with two public river accesses on Keystone Drive that are within walking distance and complete with walk ways and fish cleaning tables.
Getting Around: While we presume you'll be driving to our destination there are all means of commercial transportation including a commercial airport in Kenai 25 miles away. The best part is there are several airplane operators that can bring you to more remote settings for bear watching, fishing, and site seeing.
