Family overnight in Soldotna

Overall, the property was very clean and peaceful. For the amount of money we spent, we were hoping for a hot tub, as listed. Other than the pricing and the lack of hot tub, it was a pleasant place to crash for a night for my family and I.

Quiet Location

Very nice and clean cabin in a quiet location on the Kenai River. Close to Kenai and Soldatna. There are several steps to gain entry into the cabin. Both bedrooms are on the second level. There are 3 double beds in each bedroom. The hosts are very friendly and their home is on the property. We would stay here again.

What a wonderful spot in Kenai! Beautiful area with a river view, otters, caribou (!), and Fall colors. The cabin is well-equipped and sparkling new. Thanks for a quick get-away from Anchorage!

Wonderful, pleasant and even better people

We stayed here on our Alaska trip and it was wonderful. The Caribou cabin is brand new and perfectly decorated. We had everything we needed and the hosts are fantastic. The property is right on the river and we wanted Seals, Eagle, and Moose from our deck. Absolutely Beautiful
