LOVELY SECLUDED STUDIO - Two miles from Soldotna!

Bear Paw Studio Retreat is located on a beautifully secluded 20 acre private forest, with only a two mile drive to Soldotna boasting an array of coffee shops, grocery and specialty shops and restaurants. Bear Paw is located in the lower level of our home, has a private entrance, designated parking and plenty of parking for tenant boats or extra vehicles. With king and queen beds in the sleeping area, Bear Paw Studio comfortably accommodates two to four guests. Bear Paw Studio is equipped with modern kitchen appliances and lovely Alaskan decor. Complete with a very large bear hide covering an entire wall! Black out window coverings provide sufficient darkness during our bright summer months allowing our guests to get a good night's sleep. There is a large freezer exclusively for guest use, which is particularly useful during fishing season. Fish cleaning, however, is prohibited on the premises, due to potential attraction of bears. During the summer months, Bear Paw is a perfect fisherman’s retreat. In winter, when snow is abundant, we maintain several cross country ski trails and have a fabulous sledding hill for those who desire snowy adventures. Bear Paw has something for everyone traveling to the Kenai or Soldotna area.

Wonderful Place to Stay

The studio was easy to find and located in a secluded area just outside of Soldotna. We were close enough to town for supplies but was also able to enjoy the quietness of the woods. The studio was new, clean, comfortable and well appointed. Jackie was gracious and generous. We hope to stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great Place to Stay

Jackie and Jayson went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a wonderful experience. We were contacted prior to our arrival to see if there was anything we needed in particular that they could provide for us, which was extremely thoughtful. The property was very clean and well laid out and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Jackie and Jayson made the stay so nice with their hospitality and were very welcoming. We highly recommend this place and plan to stay here again next time we are in the area. Thank you again Jackie and Jayson!

Such a lovely place

This property is an efficiency apartment on the ground floor of a lovely home. The owners are right upstairs and completely available to answer questions and assist with problems. In addition to the apartment, there are 29 acres of property, and I loved wandering around in the quiet and beauty. I would go there again anytime. Love. Love. Love!!

Cozy and welcoming rental

I drove down from Eagle River with my two kids for a football game and was so happy to find this place. It is conveniently located near town but is in an area that is quiet and secluded. While we were not there for fishing, there were things on site to accommodate that need. I really enjoyed all the personal touches in the studio and the owner was so helpful with directions around town and was very accommodating with our need for a later check out. I have already recommended this place to friends who often go to this area for fishing. If we ever have a need to stay the night in Soldotna again, this will be the first place I check!

Andy H., Ann Arbor Michigan

Jackie and Jason were wonderful hosts. We felt more like houseguests than tenants! Wonderful place!

The kitchen had everything we needed. We used the stove, oven, grill, washer and dryer. Jackie even had laundry soap and dryer sheets. They gave us advise on fishing locations, restaurants and even numbers to call to get fish counts. We caught fish and her son packaged it for us for a nominal fee. His name was Anderson and he did a better job packaging it than professionals. The property is a bit off the beaten track and was quiet as a result. It is just a few minutes from Town. I would highly recommend staying in the apartment. Thanks Jackie. I hope we get a chance to stay again!

Perfect Jumping Off Spot

This VRBO was everything we needed for our short stay in Alaska. The full kitchen setup and multiple bed options were great for us fixing meals, snacks and coffee times. The wooded setting at the end of the road provided peace, quiet and a couple of encounters with local wildlife. Our hosts were friendly, helpful and fun to talk with. We can hardly wait to come again.

This is a gem! Jackie was amazing and super helpful. Her communication was awesome and very personable. She was also able to give local recommendations and great hospitality. Having a freezer at the location helped tremendously get the fish ready for travel. Jackie goes out of her way to help in anyway possible.
