The owners have obviously given a lot of thought to hosting guests. The home suited our family’s (of 10, aged 7 to 73) needs very well. We caught Sockeye directly off the dock and enjoyed some family meals on the expansive deck. The location allowed us some great adventures around the Peninsula.
This House was Amazing and had the best that Soldotna has to offer. The stairs down to a wonderful fishing platform right on the Kenai River was my favorite!

Excellent Experience
The property has everything we needed, lots of extras!
Could not have enjoyed the stay more.
Everything was perfect.
Centrally located in the peninsula. Near town for everything you could need. Impeccable view over the flowing river.
Great Location on Kenai! Family had fun relaxing - watching the bald eagles and fishing!!
It is a lot of stairs - but worth the effort! Host was super responsive and the house/deck was great!
Excellent property with a great owner! Easily the best VRBOs I’ve stayed at. It was well equipped with everything you could ever want or need for an Alaskan salmon fishing trip. Fishing off the dock was a bit tricky for some in the group but we caught plenty of fish.
We absolutely loved our stay at this property. Kevin was a great host and had terrific communication with us. The house was so roomy and so cozy. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck and near the river. We were close to restaurants, grocery stores and breweries. Great for families and we would love to stay here again!
We had a wonderful time at this great home in a beautiful setting! Very well stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes, utensils, pots, etc for lots of cooking! Very comfortable beds! Beautiful deck for morning coffee and evening happy hour! We hope to stay again in the future! Thanks so much for sharing your home!

Great home!
We had a wonderful time at your home! although while we were there and decided to fish on the dock the fish weren't biting at all. We had a wonderful meal at Louie's, we also loved the Moose is Loose Bakery there in town.
This was by far our favorite place we stayed on our 10-day Alaskan adventure. The house was perfectly appointed and had everything plus more we needed. Our only negative is that we didn’t stay longer! The river was amazing, the Eagles were stunning. We will be back!
What an amazing property, the photos do not do this location justice. Beautiful home with ample room for a large family. The fishing platform on the river is an amazing place to spend time. Especially when the Sockeye are in thick, like they were for our trip. :)

Lots of memories made!!!!
Our family enjoyed this lovely home immensely! Lots of memories were made spending time together on the beautiful deck, watching the bald eagles. Fishing wasn’t great (we were there early) but the location was central and made day trips very convenient. Kevin and Jill were extremely responsive and so accommodating! We hope to return!

Soldotna Home on the Kenai
We had a wonderful stay! Kevin and Jill were top drawer in accommodating our needs and being available. They were excellent hosts! The house was extremely well appointed; comfort beyond our expectations! The deck and fishing platforms were the best we have had in the five years we have been fishing the Kenai. The deck was fantastic! Ron, Sue, Cari, and Garrett from Oregon.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for caring for our home so well.
We had a group of 8 "seniors". The property fit our needs perfectly; the access to the wedding venue was very easy, the bedding was very comfortable and the view outstanding! Kevin was a gracious and accommodating host who was readily available in case we encountered any issues, which we did not. Check out was a breeze! BEAUTIFUL DECK!

Perfect, everything you will need for a wonderful trip!
The owners are great, the home is beautiful and well stocked. We've now stayed at two other VRBO homes and they do not have a quarter of what this home offers. (All the kitchen items you will need!)
The deck and entire property is amazing, plenty of space for the kids to run around and the morning sunrise on the river is breath taking. We watched eagles, fished, BBQ'd and had a campfire!
So, so, so much fun!
Thank you so much for the time and effort put into your home!
