This cabin did not disappoint. On the wasilof river with private dock. Immediately started fishing and catching salmon. So peaceful and quiet. Sitting on the dock drinking coffee and watching eagles fly over. Definitely would go back here

Amazing!!

This is a wonderful place! We greatly enjoyed our stay here in July 2023. Our kids love to fish, and Mike had all of the fishing gear set up, taught us how to catch salmon off the dock, and also how to fillet them. That was such a gift!! They fished many hours during our stay there and caught several salmon. The house was lovely, comfortable, great rooms. Also really enjoyed the PitBoss grill and outdoor deck area. Appreciated the close proximity to many places we visited during our stay there. Kim and Mike were both great with communication before and during our stay. Hope to stay here again in the near future!! A truly great VRBO!!

A true gem

We loved our stay at Drift Boat Pass. The house was perfect for our family of 5. We were able to relax, enjoy fishing, have bonfires and just soaking in the beauty of Alaska! We are keeping this on our “must return” list. Mike was so great to deal with. Our 4 year old just loved him! A true Alaskan gem!

One of the highlights of our trip.

Had an awesome time staying at the Drift Boat Pass. Mike let us use all his fishing equipment and supplied us with bait. Caught several salmon right off the dock as we talked to the guided drift boats floating by. Couldn't ask for any better views. Would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful view and access to Kasilof River!

The best beautiful view of the river from inside house, on patio or on the fishing dock. Great place to stay as we traveled to Kenai for a few fly out lake and float trips.

Great Location and service

Very nice , clean, and located on the Kasilof river. The owner set us up to fish right off the dock and was very hospitable. He also set up new rods and bait for us to fish for Silvers once the season opened. Very well taken care of all around. Highly recommend!

July on the Kasilof

Far enough out of town to be enjoyable but town is only 20 minutes away. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time here. Watching the river flow by is relaxing to watch and hear. Caught fish every day we were there. Mike had the gear set up and ready to go. He was also there to assist if you had any questions but was never intrusive. We felt at home here and would absolutely come here again.

Nice dock and house.

Wonderful location. Both owners were absolutely great! They had fishing supplies ready for us. We didn’t catch anything from the dock but we loved the view watching the eagles and spotting a seal. Only thing was that there was no wifi which one person in our group needed to get a couple of things done.

Magical setting, well equipped home, helpful managers.

I was traveling with my husband and 3 sons ages 17 - 25. We were awestruck by the view from the kitchen and living room. The home was clean, spacious and well equipped. There are a few flights of stairs right off the patio that lead to a private dock. Mike came out and showed us how to rig a set up for the fish that were running and even brought us some bait. A great neighbor to have.. We went hiking and exploring and on a few tours in the area but each night we would return to fish from the dock.. Every night at about 8 PM someone in our party would catch a 10-15 lb salmon. While fishing we saw bald eagles, seal and moose from the dock. We had a wonderful time. We had very spotty internet service, and Verizon did not have very good coverage in the house, but on the dock by the river I could read all my email. I know people don't go to Alaska to be online but we did have a few things that we needed to respond to. The house itself was perfect for us but I would suggest having a supply of extra blankets in the house. Even with the internet issues I would stay there again, Mike and Kim went out of their way to supply fishing gear, coolers filet knives and their knowledge of the area. If you have time to visit Homer, it is absolutely beautiful. The best food we had anywhere in Alaska was at The Flats Bistro, about 15 minutes away from the house.

Perfect for our family of 5

Exceptionally clean, plenty of space and beautiful views. The hosts did a fantastic job of communicating with us and sharing information about the area. We caught some fish off the dock, but also had the opportunity to use their fishing equipment (poles, nets, and coolers) to fish on the Kenai. Overall, it was a great experience and we would do it all over again!

Awesome place!

The drift boat pass was the perfect stop for us on our fishing trip. The cabin was very clean and had everything g we needed. The best part was the access to the Kasilof River. Kim and Courtney were great hosts….they checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed, but we also felt like we had plenty of privacy. We will stay here again!
