Beautiful property that was perfect for the salmon run. With a family of 10 people, this cabin was spacious and met our needs. Owners were fantastic and welcoming. Jodi was so kind to pick up groceries for breakfast due to our late night arrival and offered to let us stay later in the day for our late night departure. We will definitely book again if available when we come back to Alaska.
Location was very centralized for our itinerary. Kitchen was perfect for cooking and feeding 12 adult men for two weeks. Our host was very accommodating and helpful.
Looking forward to coming back in the future!
The property was even better in person, it’s a great location, it had everything you could need and more for your vacation and the owners were amazing! The personal touches and extras were a nice surprise and made the trip and stay even more special!
Wonderful home and hosts! Everything was spot on and we felt so welcomed. They have gone the extra mile to make this location perfect and fun for all!! So many wonderful memories made. Can’t wait to return!!
From the first time we drove onto the property until we departed, this is by far the most down home and fantastic place we’ve stayed at. The accommodations and amenities make this place feel like it’s your own home. We loved everything it has to offer and recommend it. We will defiantly stay at this home again. James and family. Thank you so very much for sharing your place with us. James and family
I don’t think a better VRBO exists on the Kenai Peninsula. Jodi and Erik were outstanding hosts. They have the mindset of trying to set you up with everything you’d need/want on an Alaskan vacation. So thorough and thoughtful. I knew they had supplies but I did not know they took so much time and effort to make sure everything was perfect. Jodi was so responsive if we ever had a question or a need. We had a group of 10 ages 16-71 and everyone had a great time, from fishing, bbq, yard games and recommendations… everything was perfect!
We were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful this home and property were. We knew it would be from the photos, but in person it's even better! Perfect for the 7 of us! We loved the location! Had a blast playing badminton, smores by the fire pit and just enjoying the surroundings. The house itself is fabulous, great space, super clean and was perfect for our group. Owners were quick to answer any questions, and very helpful with information. We were so sad to leave. Location is perfect as it's in between Seward & Homer. Thank you so much!
Jodie was a great host, so pleasant. The home and the amenities made our stay fantastic and memorable. The family enjoyed our vacations, and we would visit the site again.
This was our second time staying at this property and it was perfect! The owners have thought of everything. The location was great as a base camp, and our large group had everything that we needed to enjoy 7 nights on the Kenai Peninsula. We especially enjoyed the outdoor areas, fire pit, yard games and covered porch. We spent every evening playing games and talking about our adventures from the day. Thanks again, Painters!
Great place to stay. The house was very clean, we enjoyed it very much. We loved the fire pit and all the room. There were 6 adults and was still an extra bedroom. The owners were great, always friendly and available.
We loved the property . Eric and Jodi took detailed care of all the details small or big to make sure guests feel comfortable and at home. We will stay again when we visit Alaska.
Great place , very quite and beautiful, but close enough you can still go to town if need forgotten things!love the fire pit area ! Cabin is very nice inside with great appliances !
We all loved the property. The hosts were great and went the extra mile to help our group feel welcome to their home. Thanks for such a great home to stay in
Our stay included 8x retired military on a guys fishing trip for 10 days (Russian River Reds/Homer Halibut). The cabin was extremely well equipped and had everything we needed and more. Greatly appreciate everything. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you guys!
Great house and yard. Very thoughtful and responsive owners. Eric and Jody were incredibly easy to work with and communicate with. House was in great shape and location seems remote but is close to everything you need. Would definitely rent here again.
The property was beautiful and so clean. It had everything we needed, including some furry friends that live outside! The owners were so sweet and answered any questions immediately. We had 8 adults and 1 toddler stay for a week and it was perfect! Couldn't recommend more!
We had a blast. We used the house for a weekend base camp. We went to Seward and then checked in and toured Homer. As a resident of Anchorage we visit Soldatna often and this place is amazing! Loved the atmosphere and property!
Thank you for sharing your place with us!
This property was phenomenal. Great for kids and adults alike. Clean with all the comforts of home. Also great for families who love to cook. Lots of things for kids to do. Awesome fire pit. Can't say enough good about this property and the owner/hosts. They are very welcoming and accomodating.
Everything about our trip was wonderful. Erik and Jodi were incredibly helpful and generous with their hospitality and knowledge. They went out of their way to make our trip unforgettable. If you have a chance to visit, you should take it. Erik/Jodi....thanks for everything. You guys made our trip very special.
