Thanks for a great time! Appreciated your meet and greet, and taking us down and showing us the first day your fishing area, as we call it the 1/4 mile! Also appreciated your assistance with tools to fix our tire situation. All in all we had a great time and returning home with lots of good fish. Raul, Gary and Mike ##### Raul Q. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### John E. 14 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little getaway! I took my parents here as a bucket list item for my dad. Joe was great, he got us set up with some fishing poles and even took some time to join us down on the river. The cabin itself was very clean and comfortable to stay in. It is located a little ways out of town, so make sure you get everything you need from Soldotna before heading out, so you dont have to spend an hour driving back and forth into town. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone! ##### John E. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ---
