Our premier rental cabins (we only have 2 rental cabins) sit on 5 acres of private waterfront with over 350 ft. of incredible salmon shore fishing. Our upscale vacation cabin is available for your use whether you are coming to the Kenai River for phenomenal fishing, wildlife viewing, as an executive retreat or a good old fashioned family sightseeing vacation.

Richard was an excellent host and made the check in and check out process effortless. The property was very clean, comfortable, well stocked and exactly as described in the posting. The 350 ft of Kenai River frontage for fishing and relaxing by the water is an added plus! Richard showed us around the property and where to find the fishing rods and tackle that created a once in a lifetime memory for our granddaughter!We cannot thank the hosts enough for their hospitality and sharing their wonderful property! We will definitely be back!

Nice place

We checked in without any problems. The accommodations in the cabin could stand an upgrade. The cabin needs some blinds or shutters, there is no privacy in the front part of the cabin. The couch, TV, and bed was not up to par. The TV was about the size of a computer screen and could have been a bit larger. The couch was not comfortable and neither was the bed in the main bedroom, for the price we paid for the cabin we thought the accommodations where not nice enough. The location and proximity to river is really nice and it is very peaceful and natural.

Great Kenai River Cabin in Sterling

The location of the cabins is perfect for fishing the middle Kenai River. The Bear Den cabin is very cozy and comfortable. Richard is a great host and was more disappointed than we were that the river had flooded with due to heavy rains making fishing more difficult during our stay. We still had an awesome time and caught plenty of fish. Richard also showed us the larger cabin which is equally as comfortable and would accommodate larger families or groups. We are looking forward to and already planning our next stay.
