Dreamy 2 Bed Cabin #1 - Alaska Kenai Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place with a great location, host was very responsive. Great stay for our fishing trip"

Pristine Private Kenai River Front Property With An Eagle's Nest 360 Degree View

10/10 Excellent

"My girlfriend and I stayed for 10 days at the Eagles Nest. Ron and Katya are wonderful hosts! The entire property is VERY clean and well thought out. Beautiful views, lots of wildlife, and the property is right on the river with nice sturdy fishing platforms and a fire pit. This is our 5th or 6th time staying here and we will definitely be back next year!"

Comfortable Kenai River Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing week at the cabin! It was definitely a little slice of Heaven. We saw otters and cute little weasels in the back yard along with some moose tracks by the water where we also did a little fishing and caught some fish. Also saw a lot of birds including Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles. Again we can't thank our host enough for sharing such a beautiful place. We absolutely loved it!! We are already talking about the next time we want to come back and stay at the cabin again!!!"

Beautiful Log Cabin Retreat. Access Kenai River-Bings Landing State Park

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay and great host! 10/10"

Secluded Sterling Cabin sleeps up to 12

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very nice and clean. The cabin had everything we may have needed if we were in a pinch or forgot to bring anything. TV/Roku and wifi worked pretty well most of the time, it only cut out once or twice and only momentarily. The host was gracious enough to extend our checkout by an hour or so so we could fit one more thing in on our trip. WE would definitely recommend staying here and we will do so if we come again."

Kenai Living Waters - Lower Level

10/10 Excellent

"Our vacation at the stunning Kenai Living Waters was everything and more. We visit Alaska on a regular basis and have stayed in many places,but THIS property will be the only one we stay in from this day forward. The grounds are like a park. The stay is clean and well stocked and the hosts became quick friends. I looked forward to our meals on the patio and the decompression a comfy bed and calm surroundings. A stay well worth the investment"

Steele Haven Cozy Cabin

"We loved this cabin. It had everything we needed and it was very comfortable for the four of us. It was a little drive from town, but we saw several moose."
