Great place to stay. We loved the decor and that a cow and her 2 calves greeted us one evening.

Sheila glad you got to meet our neighbors they have been sneaking through and leaving tracks, we have not caught them in the yard but have seen them around. We our glad you enjoyed your stay hope to see you again soon Thanks from all of us at Fishon!
Our time at Fish On was great! The cabin was very clean and well stocked with what we needed. The location is quiet, yet located in an area where there are many things to do. Curtis was very good about checking in and making sure we were having a good stay. We have stayed at Fish On before and plan to stay again in the future.
This property was better than the descriptions and photos. Very impressed and will definitely visit again. VRBO needs to create a new category for Curtis, the owner. Great communication, great recommendations for charters, great amenities at the cabin, i.e. deep freeze, vacuum sealer, overstocked kitchen, great beds, extra fishing equipment. Everything perfect. 5 stars for the property and Curtis. Thanks Curtis.

Tony thank you for your stay. And we thank you for the extra help and the cleaning you and you wife did before leaving. My property manager was very surprised!! (Kelli wanted me to thank you for the tip you left her) We couldn't do it without her, and it was our pleasure to share our home with you. After speaking with you sounds like you may have caught Alaska fever. Hope to see you again. From all of us at Fishon!!! Thank you

The cabin was a perfect spot to locate on the Kenai Peninsula. The place was clean, quiet and had everything you would need to call it home for a few days. Curtis was easy to work with and was quick to answer questions and give suggestions.

Julie thank you I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you can come back and stay with us in the future.Thank you for your nice review from all of us Fishon thanks You
We’ve stayed here before and booked again because the Fish On Log Cabin is the perfect size for our group, located centrally to all the places we wanted to visit, and is well appointed with all the things we need/want - including an extensive movie library! The washer/dryer is also a huge bonus and much appreciated. Communication with Kelli was speedy when we had questions about trash/recycling too - thanks Curtis and Kelli!
We loved our stay at Fish On! Curtis was great about calling and following up. The cabin was very clean and decorated in a way to make it feel very homey. We had everything we needed while staying there, and we loved the quiet location. Thank you, Curtis, for our great stay at Fish On! We hope to return!

It was such a cute cabin, loved all the decorations:-). Great location, had everything for fishing and a nice grill. Curtis reached out before our visit and was extremely helpful:-)
Could have had more kitchen amenities and been somewhat cleaner.

Sharon I'm so sorry something was missed during cleaning I would love to here from you to find out what wasn't clean so I can make sure this never happens again I do thank you for your stay and your 5 star rating from all of us at fishon thank you Curtis
Everything was very good. Probably the best stocked rental I have ever stayed in. Thank you so much for the vacuum pacer and use of the cooler and freezer. Only issue was the dishwasher didn't work.
I book this cabin every year for a father’s and kids Alaskan fishing vacation. The cabin itself is beautiful, it has all the supplies we need to cook while we are there. It has ample freezer space to freeze our fish before flying back to Washington. We have always felt safe and appreciate the quietness of the cabin, one year we saw a moose!

We had a wonderful time staying at Fish On! It was exactly as described, plenty of space for the 4 of us and a great location for all that we wanted to do. Look no further- this one’s a keeper!
Thanks again Curtis for the fantastic stay!

Tania thank you Im glag you had a nice trip and enjoyed your stay, It was our pleasure to shere our home with your family. Thanks again from all of us at Fishon Curtis
Great place to be centered between Homer and Seward with many places in between!
We’re going to have to get back from Central Oregon again to cover more trails and rivers.
Curtis has a cabin that is set up perfectly for people looking to experience the Kenai peninsula and fish. His set up is ingenious and his cabin is so beautiful. Thanks for everything.

The house was beautiful and very comfortable. Did miss cable TV and internet. Lots of places to fish we did better
On our own than with a guide. People were very friendly. I would recommend this to anyone who likes comfort and fishing.

Carol thank you glad you enjoyed your stay and caught lots of fish. Sorry about Internet and TV most of our guest come to fish and relax hope you sill got 4g on your phone most do thanks again Curtis@ fishon!!!!
This was a wonderful place to stay! Everything was as advertised and then some. It is the quintessential cabin, with furs and wood carvings. We loved the extra fishing gear to borrow, vacuum packers and freezer room. Add a washer and dryer and the gorgeous views! We will be back for sure. Thank you Curtis for sharing your beautiful place, and Sarah for having everything so clean. Fishon cabin is a treasure!!
The cabin is just beautiful. Everything is very clean, warm and welcoming. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, pots, pans, a vacuum sealer and freezers. The location is amazing for fishing and wildlife viewing or just relaxing. An hour and a half one-way to Homer, Alaska and a hour and a half the other way to Seward, Alaska. The easy drive to both has the most beautiful views with so many places to stop for pictures. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a great Alaskan getaway.
Thank you for creating this beautiful space and sharing it with others.

Raymond and Tara, I know your trip started out a little slow! But I am glad we could find you a guide to make your trip into something special. Ray keep looking there's a home for you somewhere close and I'm sure we will be neighbors someday. thank you for your stay from all of us at Fishon!
We can hardly say enough about this VRBO. Clean throughout, well stocked, great amenities, good location, and an owner who goes out of his way to ensure you have a pleasant stay.
Our only issue was the uncomfortable bed. Because of my back surgeries, I require a bed with good support. And, unfortunately, this bed sags in the middle.
But, other than the bed, we enjoyed everything about our stay.
We stayed for about 8 days and had zero issues.
I'd suggest anyone coming, visit the house first to make a list of what's there and what you need to buy: coffee, tp, dish soap, vacuum bags for fish, spices, aluminum foil, etc. You will not need paper coffee filters for the next 15 years! Plenty of those.
The queen bed in the master is VERY soft which is probably my only 'complaint'. House is convenient to the entire peninsula (we drove to Seward a few times and down to Homer also).
With my Verizon Android phone I couldn't send or receive even a text at the house. My wife's Verizon iPhone could. My work AT&T Android phone could surf the net but at 3G/sometimes 4G only. For 'real' internet access you'll need to drive a ways down to Soldotna to the Fred Meyer store. They have free wifi you can access from your car. Not a complaint, just fyi for any looking to connect, send photos while they're visiting, etc. I personally loved the disconnect.
Sign the guest book!
My suggestions for improvement would be: to buy a new, matching set of pots/pans for the house (lids didn't seem to fit any but one pasta pot), an electric boot dryer would be a great addition too along with a French Press for coffee. Also, there's a GREAT binder of guides/maps/things to do in the area but it's long overdue for an update.
If you're looking to fish or process what you've caught there's a nice selection of quality rods available to use and everything you need to process. A cutting table, a smoker (you'd probably need to buy wood chips for it), three industrial size vacuum sealers, and a gigantic freezer and cooler in the garage labeled 'guest use'. If you prefer to let someone else do the processing you can drop your catch off at Kasilof seafood processing in Soldotna/Kenai and they'll portion and vacuum seal your catch and box it ready to go home on the airline for you. Cost was around $1.50lb.
Great cabin, super clean, would definitely book it again next time!
Seriously one of the best stays I have had in Alaska. Great cabin for a mid-sized group (6-8) on a Kenai adventure, or a group of fisherman. Super well stocked and the queen sized bunk bed was big and well constructed for 4 grown fisherman who needed their space. If you have to share a bed, this one was a good one. The cabin itself was facinating in its decor. Very rustic feel with modern ammenities. Curtis was super helpful, easy to work with, etc. Close to 4 Bears market and 10 minutes to Fred Meyer in Soldotna. We will be back.

About the host
Your host
In 1998 my wife and kids and I made a once in a lifetime trip to Alaska little did I know what that trip would do to me. 15 years later and I sttill cant get enough.
Why they chose this property
Sterling is centrally located between Homer 90 min (halibut capital of the world) and Seward 90 min A beautiful must see destination and fishing port. We are 3 min from our fishing hole at the Kenai and yet we are only 10min to down town Soldotna. We can sit right on our porch with our favorite beverage and watch the wildlife stroll through the property. Quiet and perfect
What makes this property unique
You cant say enough about the fishing ( kings, sockeye, silvers, pinks,) not to mention trophy trout and dolly varden. theres also a lake canoe system right behind our home with all the lakes connected by creeks and streems or you can canoe all the way to the cook inlet. and canoe rental and shuttle 2 miles from the cabin
