Gorgeous cabin with a view of the Kenai River which is also an approximate 75yd walk. Poles are onsight for fishing. Loved our time here. Mark & Jenifer are fabulous hosts. We can’t wait to come back. Short drive for goods & services. Can’t say enough how peaceful this place was.

We went for our honeymoon and couldn't wish for better hospitality!
Loved it 1,000%. Location was wonderful with private fishing access, the home was so clean and had all amenities one would need. We stayed for a week and wish we were able to stay longer! Mark and Jennifer are extremely hospitable and were quick to answer any questions we had. Can't wait to book next year!

Awesome new family retreat
Could not have imagined a better place to stay. Brand new 2 br cottage just completed, still being added to. Incredibly friendly host, family and neighbors. Did I mention fishing for sockeye right off the bank, private just for renters and neighbors. Ideal for families.

Great Vacation
Four of us had a wonderful time. Mark the owner is friendly, helpful, and did everything to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The cabin/house exceeded our expectations. Brand new everything. Washer/dryer, full kitchen, outdoor grill; it was a wonderful place to spend some time. On top of that, this is a superb fishing location with everything you need at your disposal. You can walk in with nothing have a true Alaskan fishing experience. Can’t say enough good thing about this location.

Amazing cabin and host!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were greeted by Mark, the owner, and he was wonderful. After a brief tour of the cabin, which is a brand new very nicely decorated and stocked modern home, he took us down to the river to fish! He taught us how to catch salmon and we ended up grilling salmon for dinner! Definitely above and beyond any expectations. Would definitely return and for a longer visit and absolutely recommend.

Alaska Memories
Mark is such a great guy! His past experience working with tourists gave him an advantage for meeting our needs. He is extremely knowledgeable about fishing, hiking, and what to do if you see a bear, places to visit, and a host of other information. Mark asked us what our plans were. He was ready to give us ideas of places to go and things to do. This place is brand new and had everything we needed. We are from Louisiana. Opening the screened windows at night kept the place cool. We walked behind the house, where the Kenai River was, and the kids did some fishing. There are chairs around a fire pit down by the river. We used the new barbecue pit out our back door to grill some steak. Love that picnic table! I cannot say enough nice things about our host. We highly recommend him to anybody. Thanks for letting us stay there! Can’t wait to go back to Alaska!

Soldatna/Funny River rental
Great new cabin.
Few snagging items as the cabin is new.
Landscaping still to be done but wasn’t an issue.
Located meters away from the banks of the Funny River.
Mark couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful.
Highly recommend the experience.
