Another great visit

This is our fourth visit in last two years. It's our only place of stay at Soldatna. Just as good as it gets. Wonderful location on the river - we counted 20 eagles, bears walking across the river at night. Absolutely beautiful cabins. Very friendly hosts.

Fantastic Find!

This property is wonderful! We were so comfortable, and happy with our stay. The home was beautiful inside and out, and had everything we needed for a home away from home. Kathy was so helpful arranging a fishing charter, renting waders, and processing and mailing home our fish. We cannot recommend this property enough!!!

Husband snd daughter took a flight with High Adventure Charters to fish for Grayling and I stayed back to care for granddaughter. It’s a little slice of heaven. Wonderful place, great hosts, Gabby the dog very friendly and we would recommend this to anyone looking for a base camp for Kenai Pennisula adventures!
