On-Site Kenai River Fishing: Soldotna Apartment!

MaryAnnRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Great location and beautiful view! I’m glad they mentioned stairs - be prepared if you select this place. Very quiet and cozy. A little clunky getting into the place at first regarding the bottom door lock but they responded and acted quickly!

Unit A at the Kenai River

DanilleRating, 5 stars34 months ago
Wow, what a great vacation! We could not have asked for anything more. Our hosts, Sarah, Roly, and Marilyn, took such great care of us from the time we arrived, until the day we left. Our apartment was as advertised, and set the perfect location for a great fishing trip. The river access was excellent, just a brief walk to the platform. The fish cleaning station was well lit, and very clean. There are vacuum sealers for your use to preserve your fish and several deep freezers to store your daily catch in until you leave. We were minutes from Fred Meyers, and Safeway, as well as some great places to eat. If you go, be sure to eat at Mykels, and the Acapulco. We are so looking forward to returning, and would highly recommend this property for your ultimate fishing experience, or just an amazing getaway.

Kenai Living Waters Lower level on the Kenai River

AngieRating, 5 stars10 months ago
Sue and Mike are very friendly and accommodating! The house is modern, clean, roomy and beautifully decorated. The hosts have it well stocked and have thought of everything to make it feel homey. The pictures don’t do it justice! Fishing on the Kenai was a blast. Most of us caught our limit daily. Would definitely go back!! Thank you soooo much for sharing your amazing home, Sue and Mike!

Alaska Homestead Retreat on Kasilof River 3BR/2BA

DebbieRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Gary’s place is very special and located above the Kasilof river with incredible views. We could hardly leave our seats in front of the windows watching soaring eagles, moose and fisherman trying for salmon. This airbnb is one in a million.

Coho Cabin

AshleyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Beautiful house close to fishing with stunning views. Only thing that would have topped this is if we would have gotten some northern lights. Lots of space, and amenities, bbq, tons of spices (which was great since we had none), very comfortable stay that felt like home. Hated leaving.

Lakefront next to Kenai and Kasilof Rivers.

GaryRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Amber was amazing! We communicated periodically for several months before our stay, about things to do, amenities at the home, and other trip-related matters. Amber was always super responsive and went above and beyond. The hot tub was incredible, especially with the gorgeous lake view, and it was nice to be able to grill dinner each night on the back deck. There was plenty of room for the six of us, and we all felt right at home. For those interested in fishing, the place is situated about halfway between the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers and between Seward and Homer. There is also a freezer on the back deck for storing fish, as well as an excellent processor up the road in Soldotna (Tanner’s). The kitchen was supplied with everything but your food (spices, pots and pans, utensils, etc.), and the washer & dryer came in very handy. I could go on and on, but I’ll just end by saying that we would 100% stay with Amber again if we’re back on the peninsula.

Kenai 6BR Villa w/Ocean & Mountain View

TysonRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Great location and beautiful view on a clear day. Your right on the ocean and just a short walk to the large beach. The 2 bathrooms can make it uninviting to larger groups but really that is the only downside as there is lots of room throughout the house.

NON-combat zone fishing on the Kenai

JosiahRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We stayed here from September through December and we LOVED it. So quiet and peaceful and being above the river never gets old. I could sit in the living room by the fireplace and watch eagles soar by the windows all day. The house has everything you’d need and Rachel is a fabulous host. She was quick to respond and made the whole stay amazing.
