About the host
Hosted by Katelyn
We are local Alaskans! We also operate a sport fishing guide service, ChasingTales Alaska, on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers all season long. We will be nearby to help with any of your needs. We are available for any questions or feel free to reach out anytime about your trip. Additionally, we offer discounted fishing rates for all of our guests.
Why they chose this property
Use our retreat as your home base for all your activities on the Kenai Peninsula, as you can comfortably road trip to most of the popular destinations. If you want to adventure in the mountains, head 30 minutes east towards the town of Cooper Landing whereyou will find the beautiful Upper Kenai River and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Experience world-class hiking in the Chugach Mountains or popular scenic floats through the mountains or the wildlife refuge. For an ocean fishing experience, head 1 to 2 hours in either direction: east to Seward or west to Anchor Point or Homer.
What makes this property unique
With a pole barn style build, this home boasts 20 ft ceilings and allows light to come pouring in through all surrounding windows. Our outdoor area will be your true oasis with a covered dining area near the grill as well as a fire pit area. Relax at the end of your long day fishing or exploring with s'mores and some yard games!
