We had the best time at this home in Kenai. The garden and the flowers were so welcoming and the wrap around deck overlooking the lake was amazing. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch swing watching the ducks swim around. We were blessed to have a momma moose and her twin babies pay us a visit. Our grandson couldn’t wait each day to go say hi to the rabbits. We had everything we needed. They even provided the wood so we had a great night of cooking s’mores over the fire in the fire pit. Thank you for sharing this slice of heaven with us.

This is a beautiful place, from the landscaping to the thoughtful railroad themed decor and style inside. Love having the very well stocked kitchen, washer/dryer and shower with the shower head you can grab down and hold. Shower was stocked with cherry flavored body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. Sink had soap, and soothing aloe gel lotion. Has a keurig on bar , but also a coffee pot in a cabinet. Cute small red vintage looking fridge and matching microwave , stove kettle and toaster! Two twin beds in a bunk bed format in living room, upstairs loft with no door but still so cozy and beautiful ceiling design. Upstairs also has a place you could sit or sleep on it’s not really a full size twin. Beautiful red leather furniture to lounge on and pointed at tv . Nice view of pond, and excited to use the propane grill and the fire pit outside. Will also enjoy the swing on covered porch, there’s two tables each with two chairs on porch and a can for cigarettes if you need. Love that we could bring our two cats too. Owner was very responsive and kindly loaned a dog kennel for use when we leave kitties to go somewhere. Place has parking that could easily fit two cars right outside or room. WiFi included! Recommend to anyone in the area!!

What a special place! You can tell the owners have taken so much care to create a unique experience here. There is a lot of custom wood work, paint, and drapery. The garden is lovely. It was a cozy stay with beautiful views out of the large windows. My kids absolutely loved the bunk beds with velvet curtains. The owners are very kind and responsive. The property is in a quiet spot yet close enough to Kenai and Nikiski for the activities we had planned. All in all would highly recommend.
