Alaska Trip
We enjoyed our stay. The accommodations superseded our expectations. The owners are very special and accommodating. The parking was easy and the fishing was the best I had in the 20 plus times I've been in Alaska. We would highly recommend to our friends and hopefully can return someday.

Cozy home great hosts
The home was nicely stocked, very clean and comfortable with a great view of the Kenai river. Marv and Janet are exceptionally nice people, they are extremely helpful and go above and beyond to make their guests comfortable. They have a lot of knowledge of the area and are very willing to share.

Absolutely wonderful
Janet is the bomb. She was extremely helpful in selecting restaurants, getting us set up in her place (which you could eat off the floor it was so clean), making sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely go back to stay when we return to Alaska.

Piece of Alaska!
What was not to like! The hosts were perfect in every way! The place was so cozy and views so beautiful! Everything you could possibly need was available down to the smallest items you may have forgotten! Bed was soooo comfortable! And so quiet I truly believe you could have heard a pen drop! Would not hesitate to stay again. Alaska hospitality at its finest!

Great location - super comfortable bed
We could walk down to Kenai river and location was very quiet. Marv was very friendly- Janet was out of town but very reachable via text or VRBO messaging.

Clean, convenient and all essentials
Marv & Janet are excellent hosts! Gave us good recommendations for navigating the area for hiking and fishing. The apartment is clean with all essentials for cooking/grilling. Towels and sheets are soft and clean. Pictures and description accurate. Close to Soldotna but not in hectic area. We would stay here again. Saw moose and twin calfs 2x off deck.

Comfy place!
This was a great place to stay in Soldotna. Very homey. Marv & Janet were great hosts! The two upstairs units share a balcony with a divider. It could have been awkward if the others were hanging outside but they weren’t when we were. Would highly recommend this place.

Most amazing views!
If you have the opportunity to rent this place, DO IT! Janet and Marv are incredible hosts! This cabin is secluded and has unbelievably amazing views! The actual cabin is very clean and comfortable and the perfect place to spend time after all our outings and excursions. We were able to cook dinner a couple of nights and I really enjoyed relaxing by the fire at the rivers edge while my husband fished. We were even able to have an awesome encounter with a bull moose on the property! It was certainly a trip and home away from home to remember.

Janet and Marv run a top notch operation and the views from the room are simply stunning; I could stay there the whole summer and be extremely happy. Highly recommend and will stay here again for sure.

Beautiful views of Kenai River. Nicely decorated. Kitchen fully supplied. Convenient to Soldotna. Main bed mattress was too soft and unsupportive for my back. Deck is not private with adjacent unit sharing space divided only by a partial verticle wood fence. Adjacent party has to go thru your deck space to get to stairway to go to ground level and get to River. Mosquitoes are very prominent on the river bank after 6 pm.

My husband and I really enjoyed this VRBO and trip! The property is clean, has a full kitchen, washer/dryer; great wifi, and satellite tv! Communication with Janet, the owner, was super good and easy too! Would highly recommend this place! It was 10 minutes or less to anything we did in Soldotna.

Beautiful view. Everything we needed was provided. If stairs are a problem for you there are about twelve to get to the suite.

Great location and property
My wife and I spent a week fishing and hiking around the Kenai peninsula. The property is great, the river access is really nice and house is clean and comfortable. The only thing I could say is that the kitchen knives could use a good sharpening but Janet and Marv have a great place and we will definitely back again.

Peaceful setting on the river close to town
We loved our stay here! We came down for our 10 year anniversary and loved the location and setting. Fished a little bit on the bank down the steps from the house, but no luck. Still so fun! We also were unable to leave Soldotna due to road closures from a massive wildfire and thankfully were able to stay an extra night! Janet was so nice and kind to us and will definitely stay here again!

Great place on the river
A nice comfortable place on the Kenai. The reds were running at their peak while we were there so the ability to fish from bank added extra value. The views of the river from the deck were picture worthy. The only drawback was having to carry almost 180 lbs of salmon filets up the stairs, Not a bad problem to have, really. Another plas was the young bull moose that walked through the back yard one evening.

Amazing location!
This house was not only a wonderful place to relax In Soldotna, but it was a great central location to explore the Kenai area. Close to several hiking and fishing opportunities. We’ll definitely be back.

It was right on the river. What a wonderful location. We felt like we were in the wild but close to Soldotna. Very clean and comfortable. Janet was friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommend this location for your Alaskan get away.
