Wedding stay

We had a group of 8 "seniors". The property fit our needs perfectly; the access to the wedding venue was very easy, the bedding was very comfortable and the view outstanding! Kevin was a gracious and accommodating host who was readily available in case we encountered any issues, which we did not. Check out was a breeze! BEAUTIFUL DECK!

Family fishing trip.

Excellent property with a great owner! Easily the best VRBOs I’ve stayed at. It was well equipped with everything you could ever want or need for an Alaskan salmon fishing trip. Fishing off the dock was a bit tricky for some in the group but we caught plenty of fish.

Kenai River Trip

What an amazing property, the photos do not do this location justice. Beautiful home with ample room for a large family. The fishing platform on the river is an amazing place to spend time. Especially when the Sockeye are in thick, like they were for our trip. :)

Home away from home in Soldotna on the Kenai River.!

The home was perfect for our group of 10. The home and property were well attended and we all felt comfortable there. An unusual storm blew in where 7-15 foot waves were predicted on the ocean, which kept us from going halibut fishing one day. During this storm, trees were blown down in Soldotna and surrounding area, leaving a large power outage. Our group is from Idaho and we could manage without electicity while wating for the power company to get to our area. Once the owner and his wife realized it was not going to be restored within the day, they came to the home we were renting immeidately. Putting a plan in action to make us as comfortable as possible. They brought a generator and extra necessitites. Within 24 hours the power was up and going. It was a delight to meet them. We will be going back to Alaska. Good times with friends and family....and fun fishing for Kings, silvers, halibut, rockfish, ect. One of the funnest trips we have ever taken.

Fantastic Stay!

This was by far our favorite place we stayed on our 10-day Alaskan adventure. The house was perfectly appointed and had everything plus more we needed. Our only negative is that we didn’t stay longer! The river was amazing, the Eagles were stunning. We will be back!

Family Memories Made on the Kenai

What a wonderful stay our family party of six had at the Fraley’s home on the Kenai River. The home has a spacious, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, a spacious family room, and large deck, with several areas to sit and enjoy the river view. We enjoyed the propane heater on the deck and the large, gas grill. The house is well-situated in a quiet neighborhood in Soldotna with easy access to stores and highways. Our fishermen enjoyed fishing for salmon for the first time. They are skilled fishermen in the Midwest, but fishing for salmon was a challenge, if you follow the fishing regulations on limits and snagging fish. The dock area by the Kenai River is as described, including excellent railings up the steps from the river, but be aware that there are sixty, steep steps from the dock to the house. The kitchen and two main bedrooms and family room are all on one level which was very convenient for us. However, the main level is only accessible via the deck or through the downstairs level. This was difficult for one of our older family members. Kevin communicated so well with us. He called us before our stay to make sure we understood how to get there and answered any questions we had about the home. Since we were arriving late into the evening, he even made sure that outside lights were left on, so we could locate the house easily. We appreciated the helpful hints and expectations he left in a binder at the house. No wonder the house is in such excellent shape. We appreciate the care that the Fraleys take to maintain such a gem on the Kenai!

Amazing home

This is by far one of the best VRBO rentals we have stayed at in the last several years. Immaculately clean and every area was stocked well with all necessary items. The location on the river was perfect with amazing views. I would highly recommend staying at this location. Communication with the owner was easy and fast.

Beautiful Deck

The house is very big and comfortable. It is in a residential area so you do have to drive to food, grocery etc. The outdoor deck area is beautiful and we did grill and enjoy our evenings. We were hoping to fish off the dock and purchased equipment in town but it was not a good time for fishing. We did see eagles on the river. We drove one hour to Cooper's Landing for a float trip and 20 minutes to Kasilof for a salmon fishing trip (no salmon yet). Overall the house was well stocked and the owners were very easy to communicate with.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Fraley

Host profile image
Jill and Kevin Fraley have lived in Alaska for 25+ years. We moved to Alaska to have a slower pace of life, to focus on raising our kids, and enjoy the out doors and the wildlife. We love people, we love the water, we love to fish and we love Alaska!

Why they chose this property

The perfect place to get away. We are right on the best part of the Kenai River! The beauty is beyond explanation. So many things to do... Fishing, cooking, eating, relaxing, napping, kayaking, hiking, and so much more!! There is no need to drive anywhere, everything is right here at your front door! Make a picnic lunch and make a fire in the fire pit. Watch the eagles pick fish right out of the water from the kitchen window, the living room or the deck. Catch salmon (in season) or trout all year long. This is a great place to bring your whole family with plenty of room to spare! 1 King and 3 queen beds and lots of couch and floor space too! Laundry and freezer space are on site too.

What makes this property unique

Large home with huge deck with gazebo, BBQ and river front fire pit. Located in town just a few blocks from stores and shopping. Private fish dock with fish cleaning station. Kayaks available to rent.
