About this property

Kenai Wildlife Cabin - Cozy log home with mountain views. Pet friendly!

Welcome to Kenai Wildlife Cabin.
We are centrally located on the beautiful Kenai Peninsula, overlooking the pristine Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Situated between Seward and Homer and just outside of Soldotna; we are conveniently located near many of the activities Alaska’s playground has to offer, promising an up close and personal Alaskan experience!
Kenai Wildlife Cabin is situated on over 1.7 acres, tucked into a lovely clearing among stunning lush forests and overlooking snow-capped mountains of the distant Chugach National Forest mountain range. Although it's an easy drive from the main road, it feels very secluded – a world away.
Enjoy all the amenities of home in our custom log cabin. Guests will enjoy the rustic fire pit and multi-level deck, or relaxing on the porch with an early morning coffee or after a day of sightseeing. Watch the wildlife in the neighboring Kenai National Wildlife Refuge – you may even see a moose wander through the property!
Kenai Wildlife Cabin is just a 3-minute drive or 15-minute walk from the world famous Kenai River at Morgan's Landing State Park, where you can fish from the bank.

Perfect Alaska cabin!

We sincerely wish we were spending our entire vacation with this as our home base. We had plenty of room for our family of 5 to spread out inside though it wasn't easy to go inside with that amazing view!!!! The owners were very helpful and generous and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed every minute. This cabin is definitely a favorite and we hope to come back some day!

This property was immaculate. The cabin was clean and ready when we arrived, and had all the amenities needed, including paper towels and toilet paper, which was much appreciated. The owners also left a few cooking amenities for our use. I was also surprised that they had bear spray available. It costs 79 in the store, so the one day we needed it, we brought it along, and left it for the next renters. Great job all around!

Great cabin

Cabin is very nice. It is awkward having the shower upstairs and the bedrooms downstairs. additionally, the internet was turnoff on the day of checkout although it would have been good to leave it on until the 10:00 check out time. It is difficult when traveling to communicate and we did not receive check in instructions until the day before.

We apologize for the internet issue. Unfortunately, it was a temporary outage from the service provider, and the entire property’s internet was down at that time. It is generally available 24/7. Sorry to hear about the communication issues. This is the first time we are hearing of this. We reached out prior to your arrival with links to the Welcome Guide that has all the details and information needed. Thank you for your feedback.

Love it!

This was our 3rd time staying here, and it gets better every time! This time there were some new appliances and a new lower deck with a fire pit! Lovely little touches like towels folded into the shape of a bear. Well-stocked kitchen allows you to cook whatever you want (stocked with cookware, not food). Owners are right next door, so they’re available to help if there are any problems (not that we’ve ever had any). Can’t recommend this place enough!

Great location

Looking for something mid-point from Anchorage, Seward and Homer. This spot was perfect. Everything was as described. Owners are next door should you need them and very quick to respond to a text. The kitchen is well appointed with pretty much what you have in your own home. The coffee and tea were much appreciated! There were plenty of bath and kitchen linens, and the beds were comfortable. TV and WiFi worked great. Awesome decks with great views! This is a very nice little cabin and we certainly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Lisa and Randy!

Alaskan Experience

I wanted my son to feel the Alaskan Experience. This was more than I expected. The weather was great and spent most meals viewing the Kenai mountain range. The rooms were very nice for the cabin and kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The property owner was very nice and helped with what we needed. The cabin was well located for exploring minutes to the Kenai River, 2 hrs from Seward, 50 minutes from Cooper Landing Area and the Ninilchik Charter for an awesome halibut fishing. Did not leave without fullfiling a once in a lifetime trip. Thanks again Lisa!!!
