Great hosts, amazing property, fishing fun.

Jan and Marv are excellent hosts. They had a cute sign waiting for us when we drove up and the experience got better from there. The fishing poles were a nice touch. The view is absolutely stunning. So nice to sit and have coffee and look at the Kenai river going by. Thanks so much for a great stay.

Studio

Great communication. Jan was always available by phone and text willing to help. Bank fishing was good, not great; plenty of rods, nets, chairs, cleaning table,etc. long walk of 50 stairs down to the river. Two large chest freezers. Studio appt was clean and adequate, well supplied. Bathroom was very small. .

Wonderful spot on the Kenai

Beautiful location on the banks of the lower Kenai River. Checkin was easy and Janet and Marv are excellent hosts. Property is a private full suite with kitchen within a larger building. Everything one would need for a Basecamp to explore the Kenai and Kasilof River basins.

Perfect spot

We loved staying here. We were able to catch our salmon limit every day right from their special spot. You don’t even need to get in the water to fish! The location was great and close to the grocery store and fishing store. I was able to message questions and get a quick response!

Sitting watching the Kenai river flow past, listening to the birds and the quiet of the morning in this very clean, comfortable place is good for the soul. Well kept, amazing views of the river, and everything you could need. I would stay here again.

Perfect for us

We loved this place. The location was awesome. Close to town but seemed to be secluded. Good spots for fishing but unfortunately, no fish for us. In-between runs. Very nice place and amenities. Great communication with owner. We want to come back for sure.

Serenity

I wish we were able to stay more then one night. The lodging has all the amenities you would need. The rooms were very clean and organized. We sat by the river on the property and watched the moose drink from the river on the opposite bank. It was perfection.

Wonderful Retreat!

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights while in Alaska to do some Salmon fishing. We were so happy with our choice to stay here from the start. Janet could not have been more welcoming, helpful and delightful. When she found out we were going on a fishing charter and the weather was going to be bad, she hunted down rain gear and warmer clothes for us immediately. We were so happy to have such a wonderful host. And boy was I glad for the warmer clothes to borrow! The location itself is gorgeous. You can see the Kenai River from inside the studio and the view is great. The kitchen has everything you need. My husband and I were able to enjoy our first trout ever that I grilled on the propane grill we had right outside our door. The studio was warm and comfortable. Perfect for one or a couple. We loved our time at the Kenai River Retreat. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. If you’re visiting Soldotna, don’t hestitate to stay here, you’ll really enjoy it.

Relaxing and Enjoyable

Janet's little place was everything that we needed for the four days that we were in Soldotna. From the full kitchen to the fishing pole & tackle and the outside grill, it was superb! Janet is very hospitable and she even let us check out late. We highly recommend Kenai Riverfront Cozy Studio!

Wonderful, cozy place

I spent 9 months in the cozy studio suite from August 2014 to May 2015. It was a great experience and I would recommend this studio to anybody who comes to the area. It is small, but comfortable for 2 people. The bed is comfy and the decor gives it a cabin-like feel. They have a small flat screen TV in the room and they offer free WiFi. Just outside the studio, there is a patio with chairs and a grill to cook your freshly caught salmon from the Kenai river. Speaking of the river, the have great access on the bank to catch fish. You can see and hear the river from inside the studio. But what I like most of all were the owners, Marv and Janet. They are friendly, nice people who will go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

Room with a view!

We spend several nights in the area and enjoyed coming home to the studio and sitting on the lawn watching the birds and the river flow by. Janet was very helpful and even let us get herbs from her garden to use on our fresh salmon we grilled. The studio was very clean and well stocked. We did a lot of things, went to Homer, Hope, Seward, fishing, and kayaking. It is a good midway point so you don't have to move around alot. Very peaceful place and can even see moose in the neighboorhood.We hope to come back soon!

Nice Studio at the Kenai River

The listing description was accurate regarding the location. The listing photos also reflected the rental's appearance and amenities. The property was very clean and met all our expectations. We found all that we needed for our stay. The owner was very helpful in answering our questions and gave us a lot of advice. We enjoyed staying at this property and we loved the view at the river from the inside as well as from the terrace outside. The only thing what we like to complain is that the tap water smelled and therefore we could not drink it. We would have rated the overall experience as excellent, if there had not been this smelling water. We will recommend this property to friends and relatives. As we travelled around and only had a short view in the surroundings it is not possible to recommend any activities, attractions or restaurants. We visited Kenai town, which is a small nice place to see and in Soldotna we found a big supermarket.

About the host

Hosted by Janet and Marv St Clair

We have had the awesome privilege of living in Soldotna for over 35 years. After raising 4 wonderful children and retiring from the fire department as a paramedic/engineer, we are loving this season in our lives ....... Enjoying our grandchildren, fishing, golfing and traveling. We also enjoy helping our guests plan their Alaskan vacations!

Why they chose this property

Soldotna is a perfect location for your Alaskan adventure! Whether your desire is to fish or hike or kayak or go birding, we are at the center of it all! Just a 3 hour drive from the Anchorage Airport, Homer is 70 miles down the road, Seward is 90 miles and only 1 mile from downtown Soldotna to your door!

What makes this property unique

Standing on your deck, there is not another building in sight. Just the bird filled trees, the beautiful Kenai River with all of it 's abundant fish, and the tops of the mountains towards Anchorage. Great hiking trails right outside your door or take advantage of the paved bike path that goes right into Soldotna. It is common to see eagles & moose along with other wildlife.
