About this property

Sharon will welcome you to our Soldotna Southern Bluff Cottage. Please enjoy our cozy home touches, comfy beds, and the full kitchen. Make yourself at home during your visit to our little Alaska town, known to have a fishing problem. Perfect for family's, couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers as we are just 3 miles from town. We are located just off the Sterling Highway with nearby shopping & groceries at the heart of the famous Kenai River. Shopping and dining are only a mile away as our cottage offers you the peace of a local neighborhood with easy access to all the activities your visit may include. We have a full kitchen for ease of home cooking with all appliances, Internet-WiFi, Satellite TV, and a stacked washer/dryer are all included. There is a covered deck complete with a BBQ grill ready for your use. One room has a queen bed, the other has two single beds, and the double recliner couch in the living room is comfy enough to sleep one. Let us know if you will be using only one of the rooms and we can give you a discount.
Well behaved animals are welcome and approved on request only. Our space has an animal door out to an enclosed fenced yard. We have 'guard cats' on-premises, all very friendly to people and their companions. Moose, Caribou, and Bear may wander through the yard, so keep your eyes open and look both ways when you come out of the cottage door.
We are not "baby proofed" but conform to all building and safety regulations and codes.

Amazing hosts

The hosts are fantastic leaving a wonderful full breakfast of eggs and sausages for us to prepare along with some AMAZING baked goods. The house is on a secluded street but very close access to the Sterling Highway. The bedrooms, bathroom, and living spaces were comfortable and clean. The kitchen was functional but could probably use a refresh of tableware, knives and cutting boards. A refresh of bath towels would also be a nice upgrade. We used the grill for cooking halibut and it sits on a nice front porch. The hosts were also very responsive and provided great local information on restaurants and links to hikes.

About the host

We are a long time Alaskan family, local Soldotna business owners, and commercial salmon fishermen.

Why they chose this property

We built this property in 2004 and added the Cottage in 2007 as a private space for our frequent family visitors. At our family's recommendation, in 2017, we decided to open the Cottage to all the lovely Soldotna visitors year-round, and we have not turned back since.

What makes this property unique

Grocery shopping and restaurants are conveniently located just three miles down the Sterling Highway and may feel like you are pulling out of your own driveway. Supplies and licenses for all your outdoor activities are available at any of our local Soldotna shops.
