Perfect stay!

We stayed overnight for a wrestling tournament in town. It was a perfect size and location for our family. Cozy, clean, and comfortable. The kids loved playing with the friendly cats outside. Everything was perfect. Thanks!

Pleasant stay but not the greatest

The owners were very nice. The place looked very clean, linens were clean and smelled nice, but the master bedroom smelled like cat pee. Bathrooms and kitchen were well stocked with supplies.

Perfectly quaint home

Older home that had everything we needed plus more. It was the perfect place to stay for a little exploration of the Suldotna area. We enjoyed a fire in the fire pit and loved the tour of the boat. If we need a place to stay in the area again, we will definitely see if the home is available!

Good crash pad for us

This is no Ritz-Carlton, but my two sisters, me, and my brother-in-law needed a place close to Soldotna for Sockeye fishing. This fit the bill perfectly with the 3 bedrooms. Hosts Gary and Teresa were great, meeting us at the road as we arrived and giving us a tour of the house and yard. Just what I needed for this quick weekend trip to Alaska.

Amazing hosts

Teresa was an awesome host for us. We originally had only one night scheduled at their property but with a wild fire causing our vacation plans to change we ended up staying with them for 4 nights. She was so very communicative and an absolute pleasant person who truly cared about us. House is very comfortable with great cabin feel. The backyard is absolutely beautiful as well. She and their home made us feel great on our 25th fly fishing Anniversary. We will definitely stay there again and highly recommended this property that is perfectly just outside of Soldotna.

Wonderful and peaceful stay

This reminded me of my grandma's house. It was cozy and had everything we needed for a month stay. Gary and Teresa were absolutely wonderful hosts. The wifi can be a bit slow at times so working remote for a longer time might not be ideal. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Awesome home to come back to after a long day

Teresa and her husband greeted us, answered all our questions and introduced us to Ghost the outside cat. They provided us with so many amenities from charcoal to chocolates. The house and kitchen were comfortably set up and stocked ... Fresh garden lettuce and broccoli one evening... I was able to sit on the deck with a fire in the fire pit enjoy the evening and visit with Ghost . It was perfect 👍
