Wonderful

The property would need a darkening blinds because of the long daylight. Everything else was nice and the place is clean. I would recommend the place to go if you’re looking for something more affordable and family friendly.

Nice place and location for fishing spots but the pictures of the place are very misinformed as to what the actual place is in terms of space, the price is definitely too much for what it is.

The pictures demonstrate what the cabin looks like to the best of my ability and prices very during peak fishing season and are comparable to other like cabins
We had a wonderful short stay at this cozy cabin in Soldotna, Alaska, and it was exactly what we needed! The three of us chose this cabin because of its perfect central location for exploring the Kenai Peninsula. It made day trips to Homer and the Russian River incredibly convenient without having to switch lodging every night.The cabin itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. The beds were comfy, the bathroom had everything we needed for quick showers, and the space was just right for resting and recharging after long days of adventure. It felt like a true home away from home in the heart of Alaska.Becky was an outstanding host — friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful from the moment we inquired. She made the check-in process smooth and was quick to answer any questions we had.If you're planning a trip to Alaska and want a comfortable, well-located base for exploring the area, I highly recommend this cabin. We’d definitely stay here again on our next visit!
Was a great stay, close too the water. Nice and friendly
hosts.
Pretty small more than two people would be pushing it.
But overall we enjoyed our stay Thx
It’s so nice & quiet neighborhood. Great place for us to establish a base to fish, explore the peninsula. Say hi to Odie and enjoy this quaint cabin. Only plus would be blackout curtains for us lower 48er’s who are t used to the land of the midnight sun.

Very poor communication. Sent one note and got a quick response, then ghosted me and VRBO. Would not consider staying there again.
The cabin was a great location for fishing the river. Becky was a great source for any questions we had about the area. Lots of eating places near by and Homer was just 90 minutes away.
