Best salmon retreat

This home is perfect for our group. We have stayed here many times. The home is clean and relaxing. It is close to world class salmon fishing and a short distance to town. I recommend this home to anyone looking for a retreat on the Kenai river.

Sterling Escape

The owner kept us in the loop with the code for checking in and being able to get the key to use for locking and unlocking the main door. Nice and cozy place to be able to chill. Lots of amenities. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Sterling Stay!

This was a great stay! We took about two weeks going from Fairbanks to Homer and back, and this was probably the best property we stayed at. The house was beautiful and had everything and more that we could’ve needed, and the hosts were very responsive, and accommodating. They gave us as much fishing insight as possible! The only thing that surprised me a bit is that the photos made it look like a house in the middle of nowhere, but there were neighbors on both sides and somewhat close, but not TOO close and the house was right off of the close main road. I would recommend this property to anyone. Staying in the near area!

Amazing property close to all the fishing excitement

The host Tiffany was amazing. She provided us with all the information about the home and amenities. The home was so clean and provide easy access to all the excitement the area had to offer. It’s a few minutes from Soldotna but not too close to be crowded by the traffic congestion. There are many fishing parks in the area. Her husband Alex operates Chasingtales guide service which we used on a sockeye fishing trip. The expert advice helped us know the river and fishing techniques which paid dividends for the rest of the week. We caught so many fish on our own in the various fish parks. Thank you Tiffany and Alex

A truly amazing place to stay with a home away from home feel.

This location comes with many amenities that make it feel like home. There are games for younger teens and children that make it enjoyable for them. It is conveniently located just off of the Sterling Highway with easy access for traveling. Coordination and scheduling with Tiffany worked great. Truly an amazing place to stay.
