Owner was helpful and responsive to our requests, perfect for the fisherman

I enjoyed my stay and time at Bill Whites lodge. We booked in a downtime for the run, but Bill helped guide us into fish territory with his recommendations. We ended up taking back over 175 lbs of fillets. Mostly Halibut. Thanks for letting us freeze the fish. Thanks again for the entertaining conversations and time at your awesome property. I will be back next year for the RUn.

Located in Sterling, it's the ideal home base for many Kenai Peninsula adventures. Bill is a hospitable, friendly host with lots of local knowledge and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a good stay. We were on a guys fishing trip with 3 in our group and cabin #2 was perfect for us. It was clean and had everything needed. Beds are very comfortable. Don't expect luxury accommodations or anything fancy. Rates are very reasonable. Fishing from the shore of the property was good. Can fish from the dock or wade in. It was a humpy year so the majority of fish caught were big, fat pinks. We also caught a couple of smaller rainbows and another group caught a nice silver. Bill's mom and dad processed the fish we caught and kept it frozen until our departure. Overall, met the needs of our trip perfectly and Bill is an excellent host. Would stay with Bill again and recommend his property to anyone looking for no frills accommodations for their Kenai peninsula trip.

Super friendly people who want to help you have a great experience. They were very helpful and knowledgeable helping us get outfitted for our fishing. Great people and great experience

This lodge property features and experienced, attentive host who is a pleasure to be around. Very helpful.

Les petits chalets pourraient être parfaits s'ils n'étaient pas aussi négligés.... vraiment dommage ! surtout pour le prix. L'image d'Homelidays en prend un "sacré coup" ! L'équipement est rudimentaire et daté (le micro-ondes à plus de 30 ans) et sale, surtout le frigidaire que nous avons dû nettoyer en arrivant, ce qui n'a pas suffit car il était encrassé. Nous y avons même trouvé un boîte d'appâts et plein de sauce entamées et certaines périmées. Il est vrai que c'est un gîte de pêche mais côté hygiène, ça laisse à désirer si on pense qu'on y met aussi de la nourriture ! Pas de sortie de douche à mettre au sol, nous avons dû utiliser nos petites serviettes "face towel" pour ça. Pas de table de nuit mais un tabouret de bar entre les deux lits. Tous les meubles sont usés et l'intérieur est sale, on n'ose rien y ranger. Nous n'avions pas de faitout pour cuire des pâtes (nous avons dû en emprunter un au propriétaire) et aucun verre, juste des gobelets en plastique ! De la terrasse du chalet, pas de vue directe sur la rivière comme indiqué, les arbres devraient être élagués. On a été très déçus. Même s'ils sont tolérants et pas trop attachés au décor, les pêcheurs ne méritent quand même pas d'être logés de cette manière et leurs femmes n'ont pas à faire le ménage en arrivant ! Nous sommes quand même étonnés de ne voir que 4 avis favorables, les avis défavorables ne seraient-ils pas les bienvenus ?

My two boys and i spent 4 nights here. The cabin was simple, with an amazing view (especially upstairs, I traded my son beds on the last night for the view and added warmth upstairs ). We did a few fishing trips and caught our limit of sockeye 3 of 4 times. We spent a good amount of time on the dock, in the rocking chairs enjoying our view. We liked our visit with the owners, and met a few other great people. They packaged our fish and even held it a couple of days longer so we could make our trip to Homer and not have to find ice storage. Super great place and people. I hope to stay here again. We did have some problems with the Internet connections, it was rough on my boys, but who cares it's Alaska -relax, explore and enjoy.

Great location by the river. Cabin was clean, warm & as advertised. Bill was very friendly & helpful. I was on my own but the cabin would sleep upto 6. I would stay here again if I was in the area.

We had a great time staying at Bill's cabin on the river. Although the decor was sparse, it was cozy and adequate for a dad and two of his kids. The children had fun sleeping in the loft beds. It was everything we needed for rustic couple nights on the river. Location was convenient to Soldotna and Kenai. Bill was very friendly.

We had such a great time at the cabin this weekend. Nobody else was there, so it was good peaceful and enjoyable. Easy access to fishing. Really enjoyed the fire pit with the picnic table next to it. Stayed outside most of the dau, it was so nice. Thank you for a great stay.
