About this property

A Centrally-Located Vacation Home For All Your Kenai Peninsula Adventures!

If you haven't decided if you want to visit Homer, the halibut capital of the world, or fish for record-size king salmon on the Kenai River, or take a wildlife/glacier viewing day cruise out of Seward, or all the above, this is a perfect launching pad location on the Kenai Peninsula so that you will see as much of it as you want. Located just 30 minutes south of Kenai and Soldotna, and 1 hour north of Homer, this home located in Kasilof, AK is a perfect landing spot each day after exploring a new piece of the Kenai Peninsula.

Maybe it's all for the halibut!!! Schedule a trip with Captain Dan Brown on Alaskan Thunderod Fishing Adventures. Are you an Alaska resident from up North that needs a place to stay during dipnetting season???

Whatever the reason is, this 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom home is perfect for your next stay on the Kenai Peninsula. The home accommodates up to 9 comfortably. The utility room features a modern washer and dryer. In the living room, a 50" TV allows for some relaxing entertainment anytime throughout your day.

What's even more incredible are the awe-inspiring views from the home. The home overlooks a lake to the south and the beautiful ocean to the west. Across the inlet, you can see the sunsets silhouetting Mount Redoubt and shimmering across the water. These breathtaking views are forever changing and can take your breath away!

Nice property on the Kenai Peninsula

A nice place with plenty of bed space for our 7 person family group. We had everything we needed, the house was clean, and it was easy to find using Maps on our I phones. It was in a nice central location with easy access to Soldotna, Ninilchik and Anchor Point.

Kasilof Dipnetting stay

This was our second time staying here and it was just as good as the first. When we arrived the power was out at no fault of the owner, but they gave us flashlights until the power came back on. We really enjoy staying here and can't wait to stay again!

Kasilof trip

Home was perfect for our family. Lots of room for visiting with friends and family. Conveniently located for site seeing, river fishing and charters. A couple of constructive suggestions: we would have liked to enjoy the yard more (perhaps cut the grass around the home and add a fire pit). Also there would be a beautiful view of the inlet if a couple of trees were cut or trimmed. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the property. Thank you to the owners who let us drop off our grocery items a little early!

Great place

The place was very good, and the reason I gave a 4 stars was because on our last day we didn’t have hot water to take showers before leaving the place in the morning. I guess the house water boiler is powered by propane and they ran out on that day, which was little frustrating because was a cold morning and we decided to clean the place and shower before leaving. Otherwise it was a nice place. Ps: there’s no WI-FI on location.

About the host

Hosted by Tasha Retherford

Host profile image
My family moved to the Kenai Peninsula once I started high school. My dad ran our family-owned charter business where I worked as a deckhand all through high school and college, along with my other siblings.

Why they chose this property

I bought this home from my grandma. She has always been one of my closest friends and one of the biggest influences in my life. This home has so many sweet memories for me!

What makes this property unique

The view from this property is outstanding! The sunsets here are indescribable and always a little different day to day. I love looking out over the ocean and seeing Mount Redoubt across the way silhouetted with the sun. The lake to the south is also beautiful, and I have occasionally seen moose roaming about. Being out of town really lets you experience the true beauty of Alaska which is why I love this place!
