Bucket list trip to the Kenai Peninsula

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.

Family fishing trip.

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!

Our family of 10 (consisting of 7 twenty somethings and 3 fifty somethings) had an amazing time at this spacious house conveniently located on the Kenai River. The check in process was easy; communication with Kevin and Jill was thorough and prompt. They came by the house on our first day for a few minutes and were really lovely to visit with. Fishing from the dock was so convenient and allowed us to catch so many more fish than we might have otherwise. The view from the deck was breathtaking, and we really enjoyed drinking our morning coffee or evening wine while watching the river flow by. The kitchen was fully stocked with most common (and some not so common) spices and condiments. The house is also convenient for grocery/shopping/ restaurants...The only "issue" we had was 6 people sharing one bathroom downstairs; that was easily remedied by people coming upstairs to use one of the other bathrooms... just less convenient. Overall, we had a great time with family and are already planning our next trip for 2027.

Fantastic Stay!

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!

Everything you could need

This place was amazing, the house had everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was far better stocked then most, it was very homey and comfortable. Lot's of inside space and the deck is just amazing, so many places to get comfortable and relax. And of course right on the beautiful Kenai, we really couldn't have asked for more!!

We stayed there for 3 nights and totally enjoyed our stay. - There was many games for kids. - House was spotless and had fully stocked up kitchen. - Enjoyed the deck outside - Views were spectacular - Great location of the house. It was close to stores. Kevin was wonderful host and helped in every way. This is the HOME to stay if going to Alaska. I am surely coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Fraley

Host profile image
Jill and Kevin Fraley have lived in Alaska for 25+ years. We moved to Alaska to have a slower pace of life, to focus on raising our kids, and enjoy the out doors and the wildlife. We love people, we love the water, we love to fish and we love Alaska!

Why they chose this property

The perfect place to get away. We are right on the best part of the Kenai River! The beauty is beyond explanation. So many things to do... Fishing, cooking, eating, relaxing, napping, kayaking, hiking, and so much more!! There is no need to drive anywhere, everything is right here at your front door! Make a picnic lunch and make a fire in the fire pit. Watch the eagles pick fish right out of the water from the kitchen window, the living room or the deck. Catch salmon (in season) or trout all year long. This is a great place to bring your whole family with plenty of room to spare! 1 King and 3 queen beds and lots of couch and floor space too! Laundry and freezer space are on site too.

What makes this property unique

Large home with huge deck with gazebo, BBQ and river front fire pit. Located in town just a few blocks from stores and shopping. Private fish dock with fish cleaning station. Kayaks available to rent.
