Beautiful view and access to Kasilof River!

The best beautiful view of the river from inside house, on patio or on the fishing dock. Great place to stay as we traveled to Kenai for a few fly out lake and float trips.

Incredible fishing experience we've ever had!

Dear Mike and Kim,Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to spend an unforgettable vacation in your amazing home. It truly exceeded all our expectations — especially the private dock, where we had the most incredible fishing experience we've ever had! And that’s saying something, because we’ve been fishing for years and in many places. But nothing compares to the success we had during our stay at your property.Having your own dock is a huge bonus, and your home itself is just as impressive — beautifully designed, extremely comfortable, and clearly built with love and attention to detail. We especially appreciated how clean everything was — spotless!We’ve already started planning our next trip and are booking for next year, because honestly, we haven’t found a better place to stay in Alaska.Thank you again — we hope to stay with you many more times in the future.And to anyone considering this home: don’t hesitate — you will be 100% happy with your choice.See you next year!

A true gem

We loved our stay at Drift Boat Pass. The house was perfect for our family of 5. We were able to relax, enjoy fishing, have bonfires and just soaking in the beauty of Alaska! We are keeping this on our “must return” list. Mike was so great to deal with. Our 4 year old just loved him! A true Alaskan gem!

July on the Kasilof

Far enough out of town to be enjoyable but town is only 20 minutes away. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time here. Watching the river flow by is relaxing to watch and hear. Caught fish every day we were there. Mike had the gear set up and ready to go. He was also there to assist if you had any questions but was never intrusive. We felt at home here and would absolutely come here again.

Amazing!!

This is a wonderful place! We greatly enjoyed our stay here in July 2023. Our kids love to fish, and Mike had all of the fishing gear set up, taught us how to catch salmon off the dock, and also how to fillet them. That was such a gift!! They fished many hours during our stay there and caught several salmon. The house was lovely, comfortable, great rooms. Also really enjoyed the PitBoss grill and outdoor deck area. Appreciated the close proximity to many places we visited during our stay there. Kim and Mike were both great with communication before and during our stay. Hope to stay here again in the near future!! A truly great VRBO!!

One of the highlights of our trip.

Had an awesome time staying at the Drift Boat Pass. Mike let us use all his fishing equipment and supplied us with bait. Caught several salmon right off the dock as we talked to the guided drift boats floating by. Couldn't ask for any better views. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great Location and service

Very nice , clean, and located on the Kasilof river. The owner set us up to fish right off the dock and was very hospitable. He also set up new rods and bait for us to fish for Silvers once the season opened. Very well taken care of all around. Highly recommend!
