BEAUTIFUL SECLUDED STUDIO only 2 miles from the heart of Soldotna!!!!

The Bear Paw Studio is very comfortable, well appointed, and in a quiet but convenient location just outside of town. Jackie and Jayson could not be better hosts, very friendly and very helpful!

Property was exactly as depicted by Jackie, all the amenities of home in a secluded, safe, and beautifully scenic property minutes from Soldotna. Communication with Jackie was flawless, from the drive south from Anchorage to the parking area of our studio and all the details in between, we were well informed and amply prepared with Jackie's vast knowledge and support. If visiting Soldotna, you simply can not go wrong with booking your stay here. Our only disappointment was not having more time in Soldotna to experience all is has to offer.

We enjoyed our stay so much with Jackie we are counting down the days to our next visit in March 2018.

This might look like a FAKE review...But it is REAL as I have photos to prove it, Haha! :)

I am overall a picky perfectionist, terrible light sleeper and hotel-front-desk-worst-nightmare. I researched and planned months ahead for our trips but I always feel very uneasy and scared with any place I booked, it feels like gambling...

Well, Jackie and Jayson really blew us away with their genuine, out-of-this-world kindness and generosity.

Before the trip, Jackie answered my questions via email in no time at all and provided us with detailed direction to the house and sightseeing information. And when we arrived late at night, they gave us such a warm welcome that you would think we were their long-lost family!

The studio was surrounded with trees and the inside bright,clean and spacious with a gourmet kitchen of top-notch appliances and all the professional-grade pots and pans. The pantry was well-stocked and even the refrigerator got good condiments for cooking. We felt right at home the first night and I had no problem relaxing and sleeping the whole 3 nights -which was pretty much a miracle itself!

Jackie and Jayson even took time out of their busy weekend to bring us to the Kenai river and teach my son the right fishing technique.

You cannot find a better place, a better host family on this planet or even this universe, I am telling you!

What a fun time we had and we couldn't be happier or more grateful! We came to Alaska two years in a row as we like the scenery and friendliness of people so much. And now we consider this lovely place to be - if Jackie and Jayson don't mind me saying, our second home in Alaska!

Thank you very much Jackie and Jayson! We miss you and we will definitely come back for a visit very soon!

We had a wonderful stay at your clean and cozy Bear Paw Studio! From the super comfy beds, to the well-equipped kitchen and nice hot shower with an abundance of water pressure, it was a perfect home away from home! Thanks, Jackie and Jayson, for making our Alaskan adventure a memorable one!

I stayed in the Bear Paw Studio for an extended period of time and I couldn't have asked for a more cozy place to call home. You get the full Alaska experience staying in the Kempf's studio apartment. From the fish and octopus themed decor, to eating dinner while moose mill around outside the window...I would highly recommend treating yourself and your family during your time on the Kenai Peninsula by staying at the Bear Paw Studio. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and is well equipped with high end appliances. Jackie and Jayson have truly thought of everything! They have provided the most comfortable beds, pillows, and comforters. There is plenty of room for a small family or a group of friends for a weekend getaway!

In addition to the excellent living space, Jackie may be the best travel consultant when it comes to where to eat and what to see on the peninsula! :) I couldn't have dreamed of a better place to hang my hat at the end of a long, or short, as I was there in January, Alaska day.

Do yourself a favor and book this gem before someone else does!
