I have stayed in dozens of VRBOs across the US, and this was the best one ever. The owners have thought of everything to make your adventure in Alaska exceptional. We had five adults and two children, and the setup was awesome, providing everything we needed to stay comfortable, busy, have fun, fish the salmon run, and just enjoy Alaska. They have my highest recommendation, and we will definitely be back!

This is the very best family vacation rental we’ve ever experienced! Very comfortable, well equipped with lots of room for our large family. The fish cleaning station was so convenient and we caught plenty of sockeye salmon nearby. Took a trip to Homer for a day and caught our limit of halibut and also plenty of cod. Thank you, Jackie, for supplying us with fishing gear. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Place to stay

I believe this house was the best appointed I’ve stayed with vacation rentals. Everything from the kitchen to the bathrooms, if you can think of it, it has it. A great location for us with destinations of Seward, Homer and Girdwood. Other than the very occasional plane, very peaceful area. And the hosts were great communicators. We would love to stay here again!

Great getaway in Alaska

This is the 2nd year in a row staying at this place. It is very well kept and extremely clean. The location is perfect for a large group of people. The owners are very nice and go above and beyond what is required. I will continue to rent this property for the next several years. It's very quit and tucked back off the road nicely.

Cozy home for multiple families

Brian and Jackie’s home was perfect! Having traveled to multiple different places in Alaska over the summer this is one of our favorite places to stay, they have made the home so welcoming and cozy for guests to stay, easily accommodating us and 2 other families with kids! Jackie’s had the home pre prepared for us leaving out a high chair and baby gate and a play pen for our little ones! It is the perfect home away from home, we came down for some fishing and dip netting and the set up in the back yard for our fish processing was also a huge perk!!

Wonderful cozy home GREAT hosts

The Holland’s home was great for our family as well as for our friends! It was so cozy and had everything we needed and more for our short stay in Soldotna to do some dip netting, we loved that they even had a table set up outside to process the fish after catching it, and plenty of freezer space in the garage for storing until it was time to leave. Our kids also had a great time there were toys to play with games to play and puzzles to work on, and plenty of space for everyone! We would highly recommend staying here and we definitely would come back again!

Off the beaten path

Wonderful vacation! The property is located in a great location for hiking, fishing, mountain viewing. The home was spotless! Jackie is a kind....immediately helped us with “Clarence,” ( lol,), offered travel timing advice, and even brought over water balloons for the children. Five bedrooms, laundry facilities, large kitchen and the use of the grill was wonderful. Thank you again for the great vacation.

The house was exactly as posted but better. She was warm, welcoming and available for anything we needed. The house was super clean and open. Great for our family gathering. She clearly loves Alaska and had many helpful books and even a great salmon recipe welcome basket on the table. Great yard for kids, grill on thdeck and was always available for questions.

Sterling, AK home

This home was a quiet, forested respite from our cruise for our family of 6 adults and 3 children (aged 3,10,11). The expansive yard with sports equipment, badminton and swing set (in addition to a fire pit) provided space for all to relax and play. The hosts were immediately responsive to a minor issue and forgotten items. Our only regret was that our 3-day stay was too short to explore the peninsula AND try out the fishing! Highly recommend this clean, well equipped and well-kept home.

Great vacation home for a family

We had a great time at this spacious, well maintained vacation home. I highly recommend it if you're staying with a large group (7 family members in mine). The kitchen is well stocked with pots, dishes, cutlery, etc. I appreciated the large fridge and freezer in the garage - used it to store fish we caught during our trip. My boys loved the fire pit - we cooked dinner over it several times. Located in Sterling, it was ideal to get around sites across the Kenai peninsula. Jackie was a fantastic host. I'll head back to Alaska again someday - this house will be my first choice to rent again.

Definite Repeat Stay

This is a home away from home Everything you need for an amazing stay is at this home. If you want to just stay in and relax it’s perfect. If you want to have a fire with s’mores it’s great. The firepit was perfect. The hosts set up a volleyball net for our use and they had badminton rackets to use too. The hosts were amazing, didn’t invade, but were there if needed. They supplied us with a bunch of fishing gear for visitors to use. The kids enjoyed the big yard and swing set. They have a ton of toys and games for use. The location is perfect, close enough to go into Soldotna/Kenai if you want or a day trip to Seward or Homer. We definitely want to stay another time.

Perfect house in a great location.

Big beautiful house. This house is located off the main highway and is very quiet. I brought 6 executive contractors up for salmon fishing on the Kenai River. This place is perfect. It had a cleaning station for the fish it also had plenty of freezer space for storage. It has cable television also a outdoor patio with a grill. A washer and dryer very large nice rooms. It was a perfect place 20 minutes from Soldotna and the Kenai River. About 15 miles from the entrance of Skilak. Great place to go looking for wildlife. Our flights ran late and I was fortunate enough to meet the owners. Great people very nice!!!!!!!!Perfect house in a great location.
