About this property

Steelhead cabin @ Keystone Kozy

Summary:
Steelhead Cabin @ Keystone Kozy is a wonderfully appointed cabin with close river access to the world famous Kenai River.

The Kenai River is the most popular sport fishing destination in Alaska. Each year there are two runs each of king salmon, coho salmon, sockeye salmon, plus a run of pink salmon every other year. The world record king salmon, which weighed about 44 kg (97 lb), was caught in the Kenai River in 1985. The Kenai is also the home of trophy size rainbow trout and Dolly Varden. Occasionally there will be reports of catching of "Steelhead"(Sea-run Trout). In recent years, the king salmon fishery has been closed or heavily restricted due to low returns of fish. The coho salmon runs occur in early August and early October. The September run is favored by local anglers due to the larger size of the silver salmon. The sockeye salmon runs are in late-June and mid-July-August. Sockeyes are considered the premier salmon for eating, canning, and smoking.

The Space:
Steelhead can sleep up to six people with 2 bedrooms each with a queen bed and queen sofa bed in living room. The cabin has one bathroom with a large well lit tile shower and an on demand hot water heater which means you never run out of hot water. A complete kitchen has a refrigerator, gas range, microwave and cooking utensils for your use. The loft has an over stuffed chair and great view of living space as well as outdoors, great for reading a book or relaxing. Large windows and a wrap around deck opens the living space up to the outdoors giving this cabin a sense of bringing the outdoors inside. A Smart TV is available with access to free movies and news as well you can login using your Netflix or other On-demand services for viewing your favorite programs. FISHING ACCESS: although this property does not offer any private river access, there are two public access locations close by, Moose Meadows public docks is about 1/2 mile up the road as well as a boat launch about 200 yards from the property.

Guest Access:
Property amenities include:

The Neighborhood:
This cabin is not located on the river, but there is a newly upgraded boat landing up river approximately 200 yards along with two public river accesses on Keystone Drive that are complete with walk ways and fish cleaning tables. The closest is Moose Meadows which is about a half mile away.

The city of Soldotna is just 5 miles up the road which includes a Fred Meyer store along with many other services both for the sportsman and general shopping supplies.

Getting Around:
While we presume you'll be driving to our destination there are all means of commercial transportation including a commercial airport in Kenai 25 miles away. There are several airplane operators that can bring you to more remote settings for bear watching, fishing, and site seeing.

Great Little Cabin

Overall we had a great stay. The cabin was clean and the complimentary snacks were a nice touch. The guest wifi worked fine for our phones but wouldn't let us connect or switch because it uses a webpage for verification. The cabin was slightly smaller than it looked in the pictures but it was plenty of space for 2 people.

Great Alaska Fishing Adventure

My sons and I absolutely loved our stay at Keystone Kozy. We stayed in the Steelhead cabin which is one of many. The cabin was clean, comfortable and stocked with coffee and goodies. There were freezers to store our daily catch. We will definitely book this place on our next trip!

Great winter retreat!

A wonderful cabin tucked away, yet just miles from conveniences. It was perfect for having some family downtime. Sandi was a wonderful and super accommodating host. Thank you Sandi for working with us during the crazy Alaska weather!

Perfect balance of modern and rustic!

For a recent work trip, we decided to try out a local VRBO instead of staying in a hotel, and it was the best decision. From the moment the reservation was made, communication with the contact was prompt, clear, and understandable. Questions were answered quickly, and they were so nice! The physical location of the cabins was just far enough off the beaten path to enjoy quiet, while still within a few miles of food, shopping, and entertainment. The cabin itself was clean and beautiful with all kinds of added touches to make anyone feel welcome (including snacks!). Although the space is smaller because it is a cabin, the height of the ceilings and large windows throughout gave you a sense of wide-open spaces and roominess. Anywhere you sit within the space allows for a stunning view of the surrounding woods and wildlife. We did not get a chance to enjoy the additional amenities offered, because it was a quick business trip; however, we agreed this would not be the last time we stay at the Keystone Kozy Cabins! Would hands down recommend this to anyone.

Enjoyable stay

My husband and I, along with another couple, stayed 3 nights in July 2021. We chose this property because of its location to the Kenai river and because of its ice house. Everyone liked the location because you can walk to the river and it's near the end of the road so it was very quiet. The initial cabin picture that shows when you're looking at places is not the cabin we stayed in (not a problem as they all have a similar look). All the inside pictures are correct. There are a few other cabins on site and across the road that can be rented out. My husband was told if you rent a cabin on the side of the road with the ice house/laundry, then you can fish directly from the property. Everyone had pleasant interactions with the owners and when we had a change in plans for our next stop, Homer, Sandi said she could get us into a different unit if we needed another night, but it wasn't needed. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It was a clean, comfortable, cozy cabin for the four of us. Tips: The laundry machines take credit cards - $5 wash, $5 dry. There was no detergent available for purchase during our stay, so bring your own. The shower had an Esa brand dispenser for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in case you don't want to pack your own.

Fishing trip

Great cabin for 2 dads and 2 boys for a fishing trip. Owner's son Nick was great. They brought us some firewood and kindling for a fire pit at the cabin.
