This House was Amazing and had the best that Soldotna has to offer. The stairs down to a wonderful fishing platform right on the Kenai River was my favorite!
Could not have enjoyed the stay more.
Everything was perfect.
Centrally located in the peninsula. Near town for everything you could need. Impeccable view over the flowing river.
Excellent property with a great owner! Easily the best VRBOs Iâve stayed at. It was well equipped with everything you could ever want or need for an Alaskan salmon fishing trip. Fishing off the dock was a bit tricky for some in the group but we caught plenty of fish.
We had a group of 8 "seniors". The property fit our needs perfectly; the access to the wedding venue was very easy, the bedding was very comfortable and the view outstanding! Kevin was a gracious and accommodating host who was readily available in case we encountered any issues, which we did not. Check out was a breeze! BEAUTIFUL DECK!
What an amazing property, the photos do not do this location justice. Beautiful home with ample room for a large family. The fishing platform on the river is an amazing place to spend time. Especially when the Sockeye are in thick, like they were for our trip. :)
Great Location on Kenai! Family had fun relaxing - watching the bald eagles and fishing!!
It is a lot of stairs - but worth the effort! Host was super responsive and the house/deck was great!
This was by far our favorite place we stayed on our 10-day Alaskan adventure. The house was perfectly appointed and had everything plus more we needed. Our only negative is that we didnât stay longer! The river was amazing, the Eagles were stunning. We will be back!
We had a wonderful time at your home! although while we were there and decided to fish on the dock the fish weren't biting at all. We had a wonderful meal at Louie's, we also loved the Moose is Loose Bakery there in town.
All of us enjoyed this lovely, comfortable and clean home. The view from the deck was fabulous, the fishing was phenomenal, and the well stocked home was perfect. We had a memorable family vacation. Thank you!!
This place was amazing, the house had everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was far better stocked then most, it was very homey and comfortable. Lot's of inside space and the deck is just amazing, so many places to get comfortable and relax. And of course right on the beautiful Kenai, we really couldn't have asked for more!!
Our family enjoyed this lovely home immensely! Lots of memories were made spending time together on the beautiful deck, watching the bald eagles. Fishing wasnât great (we were there early) but the location was central and made day trips very convenient. Kevin and Jill were extremely responsive and so accommodating! We hope to return!
This property was amazing. We had a party of 11 adults (some young adults) and the house was perfect! Caught a ton of fish from the river. Great views! Was everything the owners said it would be. We will be back!!! Thank you Kevin and Jill for your little peice of paradise!

Soldotna Home on the Kenai
We had a wonderful stay! Kevin and Jill were top drawer in accommodating our needs and being available. They were excellent hosts! The house was extremely well appointed; comfort beyond our expectations! The deck and fishing platforms were the best we have had in the five years we have been fishing the Kenai. The deck was fantastic! Ron, Sue, Cari, and Garrett from Oregon.
Perfect, everything you will need for a wonderful trip!
The owners are great, the home is beautiful and well stocked. We've now stayed at two other VRBO homes and they do not have a quarter of what this home offers. (All the kitchen items you will need!)
The deck and entire property is amazing, plenty of space for the kids to run around and the morning sunrise on the river is breath taking. We watched eagles, fished, BBQ'd and had a campfire!
So, so, so much fun!
Thank you so much for the time and effort put into your home!
The house was great and lived up to all the online photos and our expectations. The owners were super nice and helpful. We made our reservation a year in advance and over that time our group of 14 (8 adults and 6 kids) had plenty of questions. They were always answered quickly and in detail. I can't thank Kevin and Jill enough for making a vacation for this many people and from so far away (central Florida) such a great experience.
We greatly enjoyed our time in Alaska in large part to the quality and comfort of this home, the excellent location, and the generous host.
The location was so close to town and the fishing opportunity was tremendous. The dock was rigged with a sound dock as well as a place to clean fish with ease. The house had comfortable beds and amenities. We found the home pristine and extremely well stocked. Our host was available to teach us Alabama folks how to best try for the salmon (we came with 200lbs!) and knowledgeable of the area restaurants. We can't imagine staying anywhere else if a great vacation is the goal in mind.
Just got back from a 5 day Kenai fishing trip with 8 guys from 3 generations. We could not have been happier with the accommodations. Beds were clean and comfortable. One of the best stocked kitchens I have ever seen in a rental house. Including TWO coffee makers (a necessity for those early am fishing trips) The deck dining area and couches are probably one of the best on the entire Kenai.
Kevin was amazing and very helpful. He even came by to show my dad and son the proper technique and best fishing holes off of the property. Caught our limit every day! We will definitely be back to Soldotna and will be staying here for sure!
The house is very big and comfortable. It is in a residential area so you do have to drive to food, grocery etc. The outdoor deck area is beautiful and we did grill and enjoy our evenings. We were hoping to fish off the dock and purchased equipment in town but it was not a good time for fishing. We did see eagles on the river. We drove one hour to Cooper's Landing for a float trip and 20 minutes to Kasilof for a salmon fishing trip (no salmon yet). Overall the house was well stocked and the owners were very easy to communicate with.
Our family of 13 spent two nights at the Riverview Hideaway and had the absolute best time ever! The house was spacious, well equipped, beautifully decorated, and had every utensil one could ever imagine needing. But the highlight had to be the enormous deck overlooking the river...with 13 of us we all had PLENTY of space to gather. We loved the fire pit and the private fishing platform where we saw lots of eagles. Kevin and Jill are very gracious hosts and did everything possible to ensure that our family was comfortable and had enough bed space. We feel very fortunate to have had a chance to stay here...it is a piece of paradise and we cannot wait to return! My family will be talking about this gathering for decades to come. Thank you.
Jill and Kevin Fraley have lived in Alaska for 25+ years. We moved to Alaska to have a slower pace of life, to focus on raising our kids, and enjoy the out doors and the wildlife. We love people, we love the water, we love to fish and we love Alaska!
The perfect place to get away. We are right on the best part of the Kenai River! The beauty is beyond explanation. So many things to do... Fishing, cooking, eating, relaxing, napping, kayaking, hiking, and so much more!! There is no need to drive anywhere, everything is right here at your front door! Make a picnic lunch and make a fire in the fire pit. Watch the eagles pick fish right out of the water from the kitchen window, the living room or the deck. Catch salmon (in season) or trout all year long. This is a great place to bring your whole family with plenty of room to spare! 1 King and 3 queen beds and lots of couch and floor space too! Laundry and freezer space are on site too.
Large home with huge deck with gazebo, BBQ and river front fire pit. Located in town just a few blocks from stores and shopping. Private fish dock with fish cleaning station. Kayaks available to rent.
