"It's an older property, privately owned. Fridge/freezer (dorm sized), microwave, bed all clean. Bathroom was clean as well. TV was DirecTv so there were plenty of channels. We did not try the on property restaurant but it smelled fantastic. The hotel is very close to grocery, restaurants and shopping. About 90 minutes to Homer, 15 to Kenai, 60 to Seward. Right on the middle of the Kenai Peninsula to make a few days of it. Staff was very friendly. Continental breakfast room was clean. Breakfast is exactly what it sounds like- continental. Oatmeal, cereal, bagels English muffins, things like that. It'll cure the hunger til you get to where your going for all the halibut and salmon you'll eat!!!"

"We had the most amazing girls’ trip at this beautiful Alaska home! All of us came from different parts of the country, and one of our friends had heard about this property from someone who had stayed there before. We were looking for a beautiful, comfortable place to spend time together—and this house was absolutely perfect. Sept was a perfect month to visit!The house was exactly as beautiful as the pictures, and honestly, it exceeded our expectations. The great room was perfect for our nightly themed parties, and we spent so much time gathered around the outdoor fireplace in the backyard, talking, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company.None of us are fishermen, but that didn’t matter at all. We loved sitting by the river, taking in the peaceful scenery, and simply enjoying the beauty of Alaska.The house was exceptionally clean and had absolutely everything we could have wanted for our stay. We cooked some amazing dinners and had so much fun hosting our own little dinner parties. And we especially appreciated the little details—like having beautiful martini glasses for our evening espresso martinis!This home gave us the perfect setting for an unforgettable girls’ trip. We loved every minute of our stay and are already hoping to come back someday with our families. Next time, maybe we'll even try our hand at fishing!Thank you for sharing such a wonderful home with us. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our annual girls’ getaway!"
