About this property

4 Bears Retreat Near Kenai River, Fire Pit, Garage

Soldotna comfort, 10-15 mins to Kenai River, and a heated garage for your gear all come together here. Private acre retreat is set up beautifully for fishing trips, family stays, and longer Alaska getaways.

From the moment you arrive, the home feels easy, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared. Outside, you can spread out on the large deck, fire up the grill, and end the evening around the fire pit with plenty of room to relax.
The peaceful setting gives you that true Alaska feel, and if you are lucky, you may even spot a moose wandering by for a memorable backyard moment. Inside, the home is bright, cozy, and designed for real comfort. The living room is perfect for winding down after a full day out, with comfy seating, an electric fireplace, and a 75 inch Smart TV for movies, games, or a quiet night in.
The kitchen is fully stocked for everything from quick breakfasts to full family dinners, with a gas stove, dishwasher, air fryer, coffee maker, filtered water, and plenty of cookware and pantry basics already in place.
The layout works especially well for groups. You will have three private bedrooms, including a king bedroom with its own ensuite bath, plus a flexible den sleeping space with a door for extra privacy. Two full bathrooms, blackout shades, portable fans, and an in-home washer and dryer make the stay feel smooth and comfortable from start to finish.
Fishing guests love the heated garage, which gives you practical space for gear along with fishing pole racks and a chest freezer for your catch.
Families appreciate how much is already here, including a pack n play, highchair, children’s dinnerware, and board games that make traveling with little ones feel simpler.
You will also enjoy the extras that help a stay feel polished and stress-free, including fast Wi-Fi, a dedicated workspace, self-check-in with a smart lock, an air purifier, filtered and softened water, and a whole-house generator for added comfort.
Whether you are here to fish, explore, visit family, or simply settle in and recharge, this Soldotna stay makes it easy to feel right at home.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Spacious and clean

We needed more space over Christmas while family was visiting and snug hideaway was a perfect fit. They accompanied our needs with very spacious and super clean rooms. We have no complaints and would rebook if the occasion arises.
