The Fraley's house is very nice, very well stocked with all the general amenities you will need, very comfortable, the view is great, the fire pit is nice, the location is in town so it is close to everything, but yet secluded and private. The Fraleys are nice people and very responsive to any questions or inquiries and very helpful with any special requests. We felt at home our entire stay.

We had a party of nine grown men. Since there are are only three private bedrooms and a sectioned-off bedroom, this meant that a few of us had to sleep on blow up mattresses or the couches, and we knew this going in. This was ok, but certainly not perfect, the house is probably better suited for three of four couples, perhaps with smaller children or teenagers who could sleep in the floor or couches easier. I don't mention this as a criticism, but just as information, as I said, we were aware of this going in and there are not many options for a large group to have a place of their own in the area. The house is big enough for more than 9 if needed, and the deck area is really nice. There were plenty of sheets and towels, etc. for all.

One other point of interest for fishermen/women... the property is right on the Kenai river and the running salmon go right past the fishing platform (you can see them). The Frayleys were nice enough to give us a few rods and reels to use during our stay, which was really nice, and we caught quite a few fish. (We were there in mid August for the silver salmon run). You can wade in the river also right off the fishing platform area. The one thing that does not show up so well in the vrbo pictures is the stairs that lead from the property to the fishing platform. There are approximately 40 stairs at a steep angle that will wear you out after two trips up and down, especially for anyone over 50 years old. I would guess the main property is 30 to 50 feet above the river level which is fantastic for the view, but tough on the knees (climbing the steep stairs). Again, I mention this not as criticism, but as general information.

Overall the place is wonderful and the hosts are top rate!! Just beware if you plan to fish and you are over 50, you will get a workout over the course of a week, but perhaps that is just what the doctor ordered? 😊?
