This house was perfect for the 8 of us. Great location. Loved the private dock and outdoor area to hang out at night and roast marshmallows with the kids. Loved all the amenities in the house and the large kitchen, game room, laundry room and bedrooms were great. Property manager was very helpful and friendly. 5 stars!!! Hope to go back someday.

This is house is amazing and everything I want in a rental. Very Luxury and clean. Located prime on the Kenai river. This place has a private dock with everything you need accommodated. Most important the house manager reaching out and makes sure you have everything you need and directs you for a good experience. With my four trips to Alaska, this will be the place I am booking for all my return trips.

We checked in to this property at the peak of autumn colors.... the huge windows in this home and the outdoor patio areas themselves were great for maximizing outdoor time- even when it was necessary to stay in with a sleeping baby. Beautifully equipped, very functional home and nice home base for all kinds of activities, not just fishing! Flight tours, hiking, dining, or staying in an making good use of that kitchen! The game room was great to take our little one and let her run around and squawk while our elderly parents enjoyed their coffee in the living room. Tyler and Tina were great. This place was worth every penny.

Had a great stay in Soldotna with some friends looking to escape Anchorage for the weekend. Despite being close to the neighbors on either side, the house and yard felt private and quiet. Great design for entertaining and socializing.

The house was well appointed with everything one would need for a second Reds run family fishing trip. Indoor and outdoor space was plentiful. Having the Kenai River out of back door provided a beautiful backdrop to watch fish caught across the way and evening family fires. A large covered picnic table was perfect for family dining and outdoor fire pit provided the heat for many a smores. We experienced more positives than negatives at this property yet there were a few worth mentioning. Fishing in back of the house is NOT doable. The water is too slack in the eddy. This was a BIG disappointment and falsely claimed both in my communication and on the site in the home description. The master bath shower was dangerous- scalding water that was difficult to control and a very slippery floor. Cameras on the property were a little unnerving too. Overall ,we had a great stay but accuracy of house description was not as it was written. When you pay the kind of money we did you expect to get what you paid for.

The house and property manager were outstanding. Tyler had anything and everything we needed during our stay!! Will stay again.

We loved our stay. Tyler the property manager was amazing. The house was wonderful. The setting was perfect. We had not problem with the other guests in the guest house, but I don't feel like initially on the listing it was noted in the major description that someone else would be on the property. We had no problems with the people there, but I think that is important to put in the major description. The beds were comfortable. The house was stocked with everything! Could not have asked for a better vacation!

The house was just as described and lived up to all our high expectations. We managed to catch over 50 salmon in 5 days just at the back of the house! Thank you for helping us realize a 20 year old dream!!!

This is a amazing property with great service from Tyler the property manager. The house had everything that you could think of just awesome.....We are coming back for more memories.

Tina's house is great. If anything, it's better than the description on VRBO, especially if you have fishermen in your party. Our grandson had his 19th birthday at the house last week and Tyler (property manager) spent a lot of time helping him to learn how to fish from the fantastic dock. They caught 3 trout and a salmon that first day and we had them for dinner. Then next day Tyson and his dad hired Jim (Alaska Boat Rentals) and Jim took them salmon fishing and they had a great time and caught their limit of Sockeye salmon which they had processed and shipped home. We had a great birthday celebration, played cards and did puzzles, watched some tv, had an outside fire and made Smores … I highly recommend this VRBO location. Note that am sending a bunch of photos directly to Tina by email and she may post some of them here.

Tyler, the property manager was excellent!! He was very knowledgeable of the property and of the area. He was helpful and pleasant during our stay. The property was gorgeous and well maintained . The only negative was the fishing dock. Because of the location relative to the flow of the river, it made it difficult to fish for Red salmon. (There was an Eddy just off the dock, so it hindered the fishing when the river water level was high. If the dock could be extended out 6 or 8 feet, it would be ideal.) Overall, very pleased with the stay!

Very much appreciated the property manager allowing us to store our luggage on site on our departure day while we got one final fishing trip in.

Very clean. This property has very high end finishes and was a great rental for our group of 6.

Rented the Kenai River Estate to visit family that live here, Was a great area and the house exceeded our expectations! Would stay again.

Our stay at the Kenai River Estate was incredible. This is not your average fishing home. This estate has something for everyone in your family or party. The large open floor plan with a gourmet kitchen was a great space for our large group. The bedrooms are large and well appointed with comfortable beds. Two game rooms with pool and shuffleboard tables were a lot of fun. The private fishing dock on the river was perfect to catch all the fish right out your back door. The outdoor fireplace was a hit every night. Great place! The owners and caretaker were easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. We will be back next year.

Alaska Is designed around rugged adventurous persons. The Kenai River Estate offers rugged adventure with 5 Star Lodging. Our fishing guide picked us up at the dock in the backyard. After catching fish non-stop for hours we had lunch back at the house. Then back into the river. It’s location is absolutely perfect, close to grocery store, major sporting goods store and several great restaurants. When the say you can’t have it ALL! They never stayed at the Kenai River Estates

We rented both the main house and guest house for a week of fishing . We make the trip every year around the third week of July to try and hit the peak of the incoming Reds .The ownership group that owns the property was aware that our main purpose was to come up and fish away from the crowded public areas.. The price was a little steeper than other properties that we had rented in the past but having private river access was worth it to our group. On the first day of our trip a few of the guys went down to the river to try their luck . Within an hour of fishing one the neighbors bordering our property approached my son who was on our property attempting to fish . The man was visibly upset and began questioning my son about our group. Did we rent the house to fish ? How many of you are there ? Do you know the owners ? My son did his best to answer as to not make the man any more upset .The neighbor began to threaten us with being arrested, that it was Illegal for us to be fishing here . He yelled at us that the covenant and restrictions in the development preclude VRBO type rentals that allow guest to fish .After his tirade the neighbor went back to his home . I immediately contacted the caretaker of the property and explained that we had paid top dollar for a peaceful fishing trip and that this was far from it .The caretaker said he would go talk to neighbor and that had problems with those owners before.On his return from talking with the neighbors he said everything is ok now go and fish . Well the talk didn’t have affect we all had wanted . The next day the same neighbor and his neighbor came at our group on two more occasions each more aggressive than the last . They blasted the same speak , that we had no right to be fishing the river as vacation renters . That we were trespassing and would be arrested . If looking at the river the neighbor to the left said we will make it so uncomfortable for you that will never be back! This guy took it as mission to get us out no matter what he had to do to make it happen. I must clarify that at No time did any member of our group set foot on anyone’s property other than the one we had rented . By this time we had enough of this boorish behavior and tried to find a way to save our vacation and fishing trip . We decided to rent two boats in town and use them to find uncrowded public fishing areas. We stopped fishing the property and used the boats the remainder our trip. We paid for river access ? Why ?

A great place to say and offered comfortable and tasteful accommodations. Plenty of space and quality appliances. A great home!

First the bad. The Salmon were scarce and regulated to almost zero by Alaska Fish & Game. We stayed in Tina's home six nights and enjoyed every one of them. She has no control of fish migration or regulations. Tyler, the property supervisor, told us another VRBO customer caught 450 pounds of Salmon during their recent stay. We elected to fish from another angle. Homer is just down the road and offers the best Halibut fishing on earth. We went out on Capt. Ethan Harders cabin cruiser and caught our limit along with a number of Salmon and other fish. We would recommend Tina's million dollar home without hesitation. The atmosphere and ambience is wonderful. We sat around the outdoor fire place and enjoyed a cozy fire each evening.

Five of us spent three days at the estate and had a great time. The house sits right on the river and is convenient to everything in the area. We fished the river right behind the house but it was muddy and running high from the spring runoff - still a great feature to have though to walk out your back door and be at the river! The back patio and outdoor fireplace were great and such a beautiful setting. Two people in our party did a guided, one-day fishing trip (10 minute drive from the house) and caught a huge king salmon! We also enjoyed seeing all the moose in the area. Thanks to Tyler who was very helpful and gave us a lot of great information about the area. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking for an upscale stay in Soldotna.

Lovely river property! Immaculate! Great management and attention to detail!

Our family recently stayed at this Kenai River Estate and had an incredible stay. The house is over the top in quality and comfort with more than enough room for the 8 of us. We were catching Sockeye and King Salmon right in front of the house and had a dream vacation. The fishing is private so you can relax and enjoy yourself while fishing. My only regret is that we had to leave and could not stay for the entire summer. The property location is private but close to town to stock up on any needed items. I rate it Five Stars and we will be back next year and possibly in August for a boys trip to fish the Silver Salmon run.
