About this house rental

The house is located a five hundred yards upriver on the opposite bank from the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge, just upstream the Upper River rapids. The living set up is ideal for a romantic couple, a family of 6 or 4-5 friends. Moose, bear, bald eagles, beavers, goats and mountain sheep are commonly seen from the property. Outside there are plentiful wild raspberries in late summer, an outdoor sauna and wade fishing for Rainbows and Dollies.

Wildlife viewing from the property in May can be fantastic before the river opens for fishing. Bald eagles frequently hunt from the trees in the backyard during the early season. The fly fishing for trophy rainbow trout and Dolly Varden on the upper river is tremendous between July and late October. In late September and October silver salmon begin to spawn in the river behind the house.

The fall season in Cooper Landing is arguably the most beautiful time of the year. As the summer season comes to an end the rainbow trout and silver salmon fishing is at its peak as the deciduous trees turn bright yellow and orange.

The Kenai River is open for fishing between June 11th and May 1st. The ADF&G website is a great source of information on the latest fishing regulations.

Please checkout the video walkthrough and additional pictures.

This was a beautiful spacious home right on the Kenai River. We enjoyed the gorgeous view from the deck, especially seeing the salmon swimming upstream in the river. Wifi fast, very clean house. Everything we needed. Comfy bed.

What a great spot to unwind! The location is even more impressive in person than the pictures show - plus we had the benefit of observing the sockeye spawning in the river which made it that much more stunning. The house was super comfy and well equipped - we appreciated all the inside space and the carport on rainy days and the porch and firepit were amazing when the rain finally stopped. We found lots to do in the area, from guided fishing to fishing right out front, glacier tours in Seward, and exploring Hope and Homer. The owner and property manager were both quick in addressing any questions - we'd 100% come back to this location!
