Some light weight fishing tackle is provided for those fishing enthusiasts, as they can walk right out the door and wet a line, (Fishing opens June 11th). You may catch a Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden or even the occasional Grayling. In mid-August, the red salmon are here and spawning, they are beautiful and quite a sight to see!
If you are looking for a more adventurous day of fishing, my son Jared, is a registered fishing guide and would be happy to accommodate you.

Peaceful and beautiful

I had a great stay at Julie’s cozy, well-appointed garage apartment. I am a solo traveler and this set-up was perfect. The way the apartment was situated I had complete privacy. But Julie lived steps away! Even though it rained most days I walked down to the creek as often as I could to watch the salmon spawn in the river adjacent to the property. Nearby Moose Pass is a darling village with the added bonus of being able to watch the float planes take off and land. Seward is just 30 minutes away but this property is secluded and tranquil. Comfy bed; strong, hot water in the shower, toilet flushes well, and safe with a lovely, congenial host!

Fabulous location and great hosts!

This was such a great location for the three days we would spend on the Kenai Peninsula. A central spot that made it easy to get to Seward, Exit Glacier, Russian River, Cooper Landing, and even Kenai and Homer. The owner Julie did such a great job of making us feel welcome and helping out with every request we had, from well before the trip and during the trip. Even gave us pointers on some road closures that could have really delayed us. Being first time visitors to Alaska it was great to have a welcoming and helpful host!

Gorgeous place on the river!

My son and I stayed at Julie's place while we were in Seward for three days. It's a beautiful property right on the river. The apartment is very comfortable with everything we needed. She even provided fishing gear for my son to fish and was able to provide recommendations and was so communicative.
