Soldotna Fishing Cabin
I always stay at this location as the unit is always clean & very comfortable. The location is perfect for fishing & close to shopping areas around Soldatna. We enjoy the amenities i.e. BBQ gril, Smoker, covered picnic area, & fire pit.

Loved every minute!
From the booking agent to the manager to the experience of the trip the whole team is great! Shelly made sure we had everything we needed. Check in was smooth. Excellent instructions all given in advance. The cabin was very clean and the sheets were crispy great! Lots of extras to keep our boys busy like bicycles and campfires. The welcome basket was loved. The location was so close to our fishing spot too. We will be back! And we caught a lot of fish! The perfect trip!

Wonderful Cabin
Our family of 5 (two parents and three adult children) stayed for two night. This was a fantastic place for us. Very clean and cared for with all the amenities needed. The directions and communication to find the location were great. Beds were very comfortable and linens high quality. There is an outside, shared, open patio area with gas, charcoal and pellet grills - all available for use. There is firewood and a beautiful firepit, bikes, and some fishing poles and gear available for use. The property is 10 min from downtown Soldotna and we found this a convenient distance. There is also washer dryer that worked very well right next door.

Very nice property, owners are great. Cabin is almost new,well equipped and all amenities are well thought out.
Original listing indicated fishing is walking distance NOT SO.
Check in was easy and cabin was stocked with everything we needed, it was very clean. Owners were available on site and very accommodating. We had access to use the fire pit, Bbq and fish cleaning area. Loved how close we were to the river. Would highly recommend this cabin!!! Look forward to coming back next year.
This was the one of the nicest cabin we stayed. The owner did an awesome job keeping up with latest appliances, TV, bathroom and shower. The owner had everything we need, just like home. Owner even had welcome gift. That was super nice and welcoming. Cabin was 1.5 to 2 miles away from main Soldona. Quiet, clean, inside and outside. Our 2 nights stay was very relaxing. My family was very happy. 2 thumbs up for sure. For sure we will look for this cabin next time we visit. Thank you.
Loved our stay, the cabin looks newly constructed, great condition and has everything we needed.

Clean, Cozy & Comfortable
We absolutely loved our stay in Soldotna. The rental was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The gift bag made us smile and was full of goodies. We will definitely will stay here again.
We had an excellent stay at this cabin - check in was easy, very neat and clean, and well appointed. The host (Shelly) was responsive and helpful. We will stay here again!
2nd year in a row and looking foward to coming back! Close to homer for halibut fishing and really close to the kenai for the reds. Few miles from the main highway in soldotna. But far from the noise!
This cabin is located in a rural area that is surrounded buy other fishing cabins. Short walk to the river to watch the King Salmon fishing boats slowly drift down the Kenai River. Cabin was super clean and just as expected. (Shower is a little tight). Shared outdoor pavilion and fire pit areas were perfect for grilling our catch and a few drinks to relax after a busy day. Short drive to plenty of Restuarant’s and groceries. Buckets sports bar for burgers was delicious(bit pricey) Jolly Wally’s handled our fish processing did a great job and 300 yards from cabin near the river.

My family enjoyed our stay!
We really enjoyed this place. This cabin is so clean, we even got to enjoy a nice cook out on the bbq gas grill and evening bonfire! The property managers are so nice, and easily accessible they live right across from the cabin which is very convenient if have questions or need anything. Dalton is awesome! He showed my family around! We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back again! Thanks Dalton Camp!
