Fishing vacation headquarters!

Great stay in the Kenai with this house as our home base for family vacation. The house was nice for our family of 6. The extra freezer space was amazing and allowed us to have room to freeze the 150 lbs of fish we caught and had packaged.

Family Time

Lots of rooms for sleeping, with plenty of room to lounge and hang out. Deck out back was wonderful for enjoying outdoors and grilling the fresh caught salem. Enjoyed roasted marshmallows at campfire pit, smores were even better in Alaska!

Kenai Dream Vacation

This was a great location for us as we were close to Soldotna which had all of our shopping needs. It is also centrally located for Kenai fishing, Homer and Seward sight seeing and fishing as well. The home had all of the privacy that you want yet close to town. Gayle was great through out our stay.

Great Location

Love the cabin feel of this property. The kitchen, living room, and dining areas are all in one big open area as you enter. It was great being able to all be together and having an area big enough for all 7 of us to sit comfortably. We were a group of two families with our adult children, ages 19-23. We especially loved being able to see the mama moose and her two calves that came by two times. We were able to watch them safely from the home's balcony and from inside thru the windows. We would love to visit this property again.

Unique and Comfortable

We had 6 guys staying in Alaska to go fishing. This place is located in a great place to get to Homer and around Soldontna. Spacious living area and plenty of bed space. The fire pit area was a favorite in the evening to talk about the days activities and enjoy the outdoors. Communication with Gayle was easy and responsive, great owner.

Great place to stay!

My family of 5, and I had a great time staying here. We found the house exactly as advertised. It was clean, and well outfitted with everything you could ask for, even a great fire pit. Gayle, our host was very helpful in making suggestions for everything, from glacier cruises, to salmon fishing, and restaurants. We enjoyed several of her recommendations. Would not hesitate to stay there again. Really enjoyed our visit!
