This home and stay far exceeding our expectations in every aspect. From the comfortable home itself to the view, and it's proximity to the main town itself.
Our whole family enjoyed our stay - great hosts and communication, fantastic dock, large and comfortable house with a perfect family kitchen. Thanks so much!
Kevin and Jill were outstanding hosts for the second year in a row. The house was fantastic and the fishing platforms were great. The fishing second to none. Loved the entire weeks stay!!

It was an absolute pleasure to have you in our place! Thanks so much.
The house is top notch, comfortable, spacious with beautiful views. The location couldn't be better either. The icing on the cake was that Kevin and Jill made the whole process sooo easy and pleasant. Can't recommend highly enough.

Thank you so much for staying at our place! You were a pleasure to have. Please come again.
We’ve stayed at this beautiful VRBO on the Kenai River twice, and it has been an incredible experience both times. Our group of 10 was more than comfortable in this well-equipped and cozy house. The location is unbeatable—right on the river, with easy access to world-class fishing and stunning views.
The house is spotless, with all the amenities you need for a relaxing getaway. The owners are fantastic—responsive and genuinely care about making your stay perfect. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable trip!
This property is absolutely the best. The home is so beautiful we didn’t want to leave it. Kevin and Jill are great hosts. They always responded very quickly to all our questions. Check in was so easy and checking out was just as simple. We couldn’t have wished for anything better.

Thank you for choosing our place. Your group took such great care of our home, thank you!
Amazing location, amazing home, amazing host! This home was exactly what we were looking for when planning our life long dream of coming to Alaska! Kevin and Jill were fabulous host, even giving us the pointers on how to fill the coolers with Salmon... 250 pounds worth! Will definitely be back! Thank you Kevin and Jill for your fabulous hospitality!

Kevin and Jill have a wonderful home just feet from the Kenai offering a spectacular setting. It provided a well needed respite after long days of fishing and hiking. The patio, the dock , and the beautiful living spaces were a perfect fit to relax in, unwind, and relive exaggerated moments of conquering the days challenges of the day . Thank you for opening your home to us.

Thank you for staying with us! It was a pleasure to have you!
We stayed at this house with extended family for my daughter's wedding at a nearby venue. The house was beautiful with breath-taking views. The owner was easy to communicate with and very nice. Each room was spacious and comfortable. The only downside to this house was because of the vaulted ceilings sounds travel and the upstairs bedrooms pick up all noise from early risers talking down stairs. Even with that we would still stay again. Thank you for a great vacation house.

We made an exception for your group and allowed 15 people. I’m thinking that many people, in one house will create some noise no matter how the ceilings are built. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. All our best to the the whole family.
Fabulous home on a beautiful piece of property right on the banks of the Kenai River. Large covered deck allowed all 13 of us to eat dinner every evening "al fresco". We enjoyed games in the backyard and the firepit one evening. The stairs to the river platform are long but with multiple landings to stop and view the river. The kitchen is wonderful for multiple cooks and almost every spice or condiment you need is there. The beds were all comfortable and so were the pillows which is almost never the case. There were plenty of towels and blankets & extra pillows. Kevin and Jill were responsive and tried to make sure we had everything we needed for a great vacation stay. We definitely hope to go back with friends and family again.

Thank you for sharing. It was great having you at our house!
Everything about this house was simply awesome beautiful inside and out. The view of the Kenai River is spectacular and Kevin volunteered to give me and my son a tutorial on how to catch salmon and clean them from the dock. This is important Kevin and his wife are not helicopter owners. They were attentive when you asked questions but that is it. Everything you need is there for a wonderful vacation. It was simply Awesome. I cannot say enough good things. Also, take Kevin up on his offer to rent one of his cars. It save me significant coin compared to Turo or a car rental.
Perfectly situated home with an unbelievable view. All the amenities of home more. Kevin was very responsive and a great host. Don’t miss out on this opportunity for a wonderful Alaska vacation.
We loved our trip here. The home is beautiful and very comfortable. The owners are very easy to work with and had great communication. I would definitely stay here again.
The title says it all. This truly was the perfect house for our group. Ample sleeping areas, plenty of space to hang out inside & outside, fire pit, fishing deck on the Kenai river, and great owners that kept in contact from booking to checkout. It was a great experience and hopefully we'll get to enjoy the property again in the near future.
