Three generations of men went to have a salmon fishing trip. They loved the cabin! There is a freezer. The host checked in frequently to see if they needed anything. He also pointed them to a fishing spot that was their favorite spot. They want to go backđ
This is a great place that is very quaint and quiet. Chris is great to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. This is our second year staying there and it is always very pleasant!
If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable, off the beaten track cabin nestled in the woods, this could be the place. Quick walk to wildlife, lake fun and miles of wilderness to enjoy. The cabin is up to date, very clean and well supplied.
Quiet, roomy for 2 or 4 guests
Direct TV was weak and useless
Not much view other than trees surrounding the property, so donât expect to see mountains or the river from your cabin
Internet did not work at all and never reset/rebooted successfully over 5 days by the property manager
Clothes Washer had moldy odor so we ran it 3 times with Affresh Washer cleaner and Clorox sprayed the seal to get it clean.
Itâs a laid back experience so that is good, so get outdoors since thatâs why you are there
My Dad brothers and I made our first trip to Alaska to salmon fish. This location was perfect and close to all the hot spots. It had all the amenities one would need. The deep freezer was great along with the nice large kitchen for packaging our fish. Also the availability of laundry was very nice. Chris was very helpful and easy to deal with. I would definitely stay here again.
Hubby and I vacationed here to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. A true gem off the beaten path!!! Being in the wilderness (when we were not exploring) was a true tranquil space. The rainy season had already started. It was nice to spend a little bit more time at the cabin on one morning. They had a deep freezer on property to store our fish to return home with. Chris was very knowledgeable! We highly recommend this cabin in the woods.
Terrific place to stay. Chris was very responsive, check-in was a breeze, and the cabin is actually nicer than it appears in the photos.
Pros: Quiet, Wireless internet was very fast and capable of supporting browsing/text/VOIP, gas grill on back deck looks brand new and worked flawlessly, upstairs bed was very comfortable (not too soft). Water pressure was amazing and the tankless water heater means unlimited hot water...you aren't working off some tiny tank. The front-loading washer/dryer were awesome to have also as being able to do laundry at home is a huge plus. Conveniently located in the full bathroom downstairs off the kitchen.
Cons, as other people might look at them, there was no functional TV service at all. Not a single channel worked. Not a problem for us as we don't watch TV at home and didn't plan to on our trip. The cabin is a few miles from Soldotna but we saw quite a few moose on the neighborhood roads to the cabin every couple days including a cow with her calf. (She was wearing an orange radio collar). The drive also takes you past the waste transfer site where you can drop off your trash/recycling. The kitchen probably isn't what a chef is looking for though there is a drip coffeemaker, Keurig, toaster, microwave, gas range and oven. The basic stuff is there (we left a pizza cutter and a sharp chef's knife) so making meals is easy. The upstairs loft area needs some blackout shades on the end window as it was sometimes difficult to sleep with the endless daylight during our trip.
This cabin's location is convenient to everything on the Kenai Peninsula. Took about 3 hours to drive to the cabin from Anchorage but from here it's about 20 minutes to the town of Soldotna (Fred Meyer grocery store, gas stations, Sportsman's Warehouse), and just a little further to the Wal-Mart in Kenai.
We made the two hour drive to Seward a few times, drove to Homer (well, Ninilchik Beach), fished the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers as well as a couple local stocked lakes. Check out Johnson Lake for some outstanding rainbow action on a rooster tail.
Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. My only 'dream' improvements would be a hot tub and a chest freezer/fish cleaning table available for guests.
We loved the cabin. It is truly a cabin in the woods! Cute design and functional space. Surrounded by the outdoors with views of the mountains from the upstairs bedroom. Great place for our morning g coffee. Being a cabin in the woods, my only challenge was the distance from town and internet/acces to news. There are select dish channels, but none of the news channels worked.
A bit remote, but we already knew that was the case, as it was described. Easily found with google maps. My family had NO complaints at all. Great kitchen, great back deck, VERY comfortable bed upstairs, with a toilet and sink upstairs. No internet....YEAH!!!
We loved it!!!
We had a wonderful stay here. Everything was just as described. Thank you to Chris for recommending some activities. Would definitely stay here again if we are in Alaska!
Had a wonderful time at this cabin. Quiet and perfect for relaxing. Great accommodating host. Directions were a little off but were able to find it. Fabulous cabin in the woods.
My sons, husband and I stayed at the cabin for a week in June! We loved it! We didnât mind that it was a little remote as we fished from Seward to Homer every day. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for four people. It was clean, we had fresh towels and having a washer and dryer was very helpful. Chris had a freezer there to keep our catch! Heâs a nice man, very personable. We would definitely rent this property again.!
