Perfect peaceful night on the river

We loved our night on the river. Our hosts were the nicest, welcoming people. We had just come from fishing and they shared their freezer space with us. Every thing was clean and we had great views. There is easy access to the river if you don't mind a few steps. Consider it a bonus workout. Check out the "kenai flip" technique before you stay so you have the right gear to enjoy the river. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and a great place to get a run in.

Wonderful Hosts and Fantastic Stay

We had a fantastic stay! Marv and Janet were incredibly welcoming and accommodating hosts, making the check-in process seamless. We had the pleasure of chatting with Marv—he’s a truly genuine and down-to-earth person. The views of the Kenai River from the living room and deck were absolutely stunning and made our time there even more special. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home with unbeatable scenery, this is it!

Fishing fun!

The property is on the Kenai River and the view is fabulous. My husband was able to catch fish on the bank of the river! Cozy and warm accommodations and well stocked kitchen. There is a washer and dryer available which is a must with the Alaska rain. We definitely would stay here again!

Host review

This is a different sort of review since my wife and I unexpectedly found ourselves unable to enjoy this property. That said, we still want to leave a review to share the outstanding efforts, communication and understanding this host showed us. Even though we weren't able to make our trip, it was the outstanding communication and empathy to our situation that we want to comment on. If you choose this property, you will find an outstanding host experience.

and ready access to the river. We used it as a pit stop in a longer trip with a different destination, but if I wanted a place for fishing, I'd be hard-pressed to imagine a better one.

Great location, accommodation, and views

We stayed here on two separate occasions and will come back when revisiting. Janet and Marv are great hosts and wonderful people. The bed was very comfortable and the place offered everything else we needed for our stay. The river area is a nice place to sit and take in all in, we shared it with a moose on our last night there.

Great condo on the river

We had a great stay in Soldotna and at Riverfront Vacation Condo. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It is centrally located on the Kenai Peninsula so everything is a short drive away. We just missed the Red Salmon run but everything else went just great. Thank you Marv and Janet.

Excellent Accomodation with Fantastic View

This riverfront, two-unit condo on the river was perfect for our family visit to Kenai. Weather was gorgeous (80 deg), so sitting on the balcony to eat breakfast/dinner with the Kenai river flowing by was fantastic. Condo is one of two one-bedroom units (we were in Sourdough) that I believe are mirror images of each other - so could accommodate two couples or small families equally. Our unit (believe both) are one bedroom with sofa sleeper in living room area. Usually hate sofa beds, but this one has a blow up mattress topper that is fantastic (takes about 10 seconds for auto airpump to fill). Good HD TV and cable/sat with Wifi (a bit slow, but ok for non-millennials) Kenai river is just down some steps and along a walkway where you can fish or enjoy a 6 hour sunset (dusk) and watch the numerous bald eagles after dinner. The river was very high, deep and very fast during our stay, so wasn't able to catch fish, but owner has courteously provided access to rods/reels for use (provide your own terminal tackle). Also, a freezer is available for fish you might catch there or from taking any of the numerous nearby guided tours. Condo is well furnished for cooking and there is a pay washer/dryer available. Deck is great (partially shared with other unit) and has nice barbeque which we used nightly. The unit is on a very quiet, private street, but main street Soldotna (Safeway, etc) is just a couple of miles away. Janet and Marv live just next door and are very accommodating. We were unsure of our time of arrival (driving from Talkeetna) but Janet provided excellent instructions on how to find and access the unit. They are as available/responsive as you need them to be and likely great resources for information on local services/guides/etc. In addition to the fishing equipment available, there is also a basketball hoop in the driveway, badminton rackets/birdies and a nice lawn area (with swing set) next to the wide, flat parking area in front. One note: I mentioned that the river was high and fast (running 15mph according to local guide) during our stay. As shown in picture of chairs by bank of river, there is no fence or barrier (nor should there be given focus on preserving natural riverbank) so need to be careful and parents in particular should not allow children to play/run or be unattended in this area if water is up. Look forward to staying with Jan and Marv again.
