Great place to stay in Soldotna and loved the river access!

My husband and I stayed here for a night and enjoyed making dinner and hanging out at the river. We used the fishing gear to fish for Pink Salmon.

Amazing location!

Janet and Marv were gracious hosts and the studio was cozy. We lucked out and saw a moose and her baby crossing the River the first night and a harbor seal swimming around the second night. Convenient location and great views.

Great hosts, amazing property, fishing fun.

Jan and Marv are excellent hosts. They had a cute sign waiting for us when we drove up and the experience got better from there. The fishing poles were a nice touch. The view is absolutely stunning. So nice to sit and have coffee and look at the Kenai river going by. Thanks so much for a great stay.

Janet was an amazing hostess and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. The cabin was clean, the bed was super comfy, and the views were epic! The washer and dryer was such a helpful addition for us during our long vacation. We had an incredible stay and will certainly come back if we ever get to visit Soldatna again in the future!

Wonderful spot on the Kenai

Beautiful location on the banks of the lower Kenai River. Checkin was easy and Janet and Marv are excellent hosts. Property is a private full suite with kitchen within a larger building. Everything one would need for a Basecamp to explore the Kenai and Kasilof River basins.

Sitting watching the Kenai river flow past, listening to the birds and the quiet of the morning in this very clean, comfortable place is good for the soul. Well kept, amazing views of the river, and everything you could need. I would stay here again.
