Modern secluded retreat

Was needing a quiet retreat and this cottage was perfect, only downside, could not walk down closer to the river because the snow was too deep.

Beautiful place and enjoyed our stay. We arrived later in the evening, a roll of paper towels would have been nice or towels for the kitchen and coffee for the morning. Directions to lock the doors while inside the house and the tv.

Beautiful home

The construction of this home is stunning. Solid wood doors, hardwood floors, custom finish work. Location is really good, unable to see the river from inside the house but the property is river side. Beds were uncomfortable which surprised us but everything else was very nice.

Beautiful cottage but a bit misleading.

This is a very well-built, very clean and well-maintained place to stay. It was a little disappointing that it says it’s riverfront. You are actually on a slough off the river that can’t be seen at all from the property. If you walk to the edge of the driveway you can see part of the slough or if you walk farther up another driveway onto the adjacent properties you can see the river. This is very close to the Sterling Highway, traffic noise is loud when sitting out on the porch. You can’t hear it inside the house at all. It’s very quiet and well built. It’s a beautiful rental overall . It was well furnished and had all the basics. If you are wanting true riverfront and wanting to fish or enjoy the view from your rental, this is not for you.

Thanks for staying with us! Guest feedback is so important to us, and as this is our first summer owning and operating this vacation rental, we rely on great feedback to help us improve. Thanks for letting us know it wasn't clear that our property includes the full 5 acres on the banks of the Kenai River. Lynx Cottage is set back from the river along the seasonal channel feeding the estuary to the east (a popular spot for watching moose!). Our apologies that you thought the area along the River bank was a different property. We'll do a better job with signs pointing to the trail so easy to walk the short distance from the cottage's front door to the Kenai River's edge, where guests can enjoy the sights and sounds of the river. Thanks again for your helpful feedback; it is so appreciated!
