An original home built in Old Town Kenai, Jetty Petersen's historic hand-hewn log home with dovetailed corners was built in 1940 and is on the Alaska historical registry.

With an original exterior and completely remodeled interior, this home has spectacular and unobstructed views. Views of the world-famous Kenai River, the Pacific Ocean’s Cook Inlet beach, and the active volcano, Mount Redoubt, can all be seen from the four large picture windows of the living area. Eagles, belugawhales, and seals as well as the many fishing fleets are a few sites seen from this charming beach home. This is a great place for dip-netting season; view the fishing taking place from the comfort of home, or take a short walk down to the mouth of the river and be in the center of it all.

Historical Old Town is a walk back in time. The Kenai Visitors Natural History Museum, open-air Saturday Market, and many places to eat are all within walking distance.

    The home is both stunning and well equipped. Our host was attentive and informed us of the ability for early check in unsolicited. The beds are comfortable and the views are stunning. The attention to detail and additional touches are incredible. From coffee and creamers to the availability of fishing rods and camp chairs, nothing is left wanting. We were able to spend time with family in a spacious and extremely comfortable environment. We even caught some impressive fish at the easily accessible beach.
