EXCLUSIVE VIEW PROPERTY! LARGE, CUSTOM POST & BEAM HOME OVERLOOKING KENAI NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE. 14 YEARS IN OPERATION WITH 100% FIVE STAR REVIEWS. PERFECT FOR LARGE FAMILY/FRIEND GROUPS. HOT TUB ON DECK WITH FOREVER VIEWS.

Raven's Bluff House is unique among properties in thecentral Kenai Peninsula. With 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, two full kitchen/living areas, a large deck and outdoor lawn area, your group will have plenty of space to relax, gather, rest, and recharge in the Alaska wilderness.

An architectural gem, this custom-built post and beam home boasts 30 ft vaulted ceilings...making the view inside the home a perfect compliment to the vast and spectacular vista outside. There is simply no better view in the area...guests often comment that the pictures do not do it justice, and frankly, it's just not possible to capture what awaits you. Many guests say they loved the home so much they wished they'd planned less sightseeing trips and just spent more time at this unique property. We are proud of our 14 year history in business and our 5 STAR guest review streak over that entire period. We've taken great feedback from our guests and every year make an investment in improving Raven's Bluff in any way we can to make sure our guests have a wonderful vacation.

Many upgrades have been made to the house in the last few years, including high-end kitchen appliances, a 6-person hot tub on the deck, lighting, quality furniture and bedding/towels, large smart TVs, heating systems, ceiling fans, landscaping, new roofs, rooftop solar, new Anderson doors and windows, custom blackout blinds in main part of house, and every kitchen gadget imaginable including new Nespresso machines in main kitchen.

Raven's Bluff House has two separate units, the upper which has 3 bedrooms/2 baths and the lower (Bear Den) which has 2 bedrooms/1 bath. They are not connected internally and you'll need to access through an outside door, which allows for great privacy for larger groups.

Alaska is a wonderland of natural beauty and amazing resources, which our family has spent generations protecting through conservation efforts. We welcome you to our vacation home where you too can become a 'Sourdough' and share in this unique experience. The home is available year round. Winter travelers will be rewarded with an incredible show of colorful northern lights and millions of stars in the dark Arctic night. Nearby winter activities include cross-country skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and hot beverage drinking! Summer guests will be rewarded with midnight sun, vast and expansive views, solitude, wildlife, and world-class salmon and halibut fishing.

The house is centrally located in Sterling which makes day trips to both Homer and Seward possible for touring both Kachamak and Resurrection Bays with their incredible wildlife, fishing, shopping and history.

Multi-generational families taking their once-in-a-lifetime trip to Alaska will especially appreciate this property. The house comfortably sleeps 10 people.

    The house has amazing views, wonderful large kitchen and separate bedrooms and bathrooms on each level for family groups. Great location for sightseeing in any direction on the peninsula.

    This was a wonderful place to stay for a family & friends Alaskan vacation. Everything was as advertised and it is a beautiful home and location. Plenty of space for large gatherings while also providing privacy and quiet.

    We recently celebrated our 50th anniversary with a trip to Alaska with our family. There were 10 of us in all ranging in age from 10 to 77. While on the Kenai Peninsula we were busy daily with fishing, floating the river, a wildlife cruise, and hiking. But as my son-in-law says, it was staying at Raven’s Bluff House that really made the trip. If we’d stayed in a lodge or even another VRBO, it just wouldn’t have been the same experience. The grounds were spacious and had everything we could possibly want—a fire pit, beautiful deck with hot tub, some fishing equipment, bikes, etc. The kitchen was well appointed and had plenty of everything so we didn’t have to keep washing silverware and glasses, etc. The caretakers, Paul and Sheila, live in a cabin nearby and it was nice to know they were nearby if we had questions or needed anything.It is obvious that they take pride in maintaining the cabin to the highest standards.

    Such a lovely stay. The host could not have been more helpful. The house itself is beautiful with many amenities including an awesome fireplace with a well-stocked arsenal of wood. The view from the backyard was impeccable. Could not have dreamed of a better place to stay!

    The home was fantastic. The caretaker was wonderful. We did not have any major needs while we were there but he was always sure to check on us! There was s’more makings on the counter for the kids, fishing gear, coolers, bikes, and almost anything you could need in the kitchen including tons of spices/seasonings! Highly recommend this property! From young to old, our entire group had a great time here!

    Where to start? Amazing home, perfect views, comfortable home with very comfortable beds. Home owner Juniper and house managers Shelia and Paul were five star service! We enjoyed all their advice and they were extremely welcoming and accommodating! We had two families, four kids and four adults so the house was the most perfect layout. It had everything we needed and more. Centrally located to every city and trail, plus the drive from many cities was stunning. The drive from Anchorage to Sterling was heaven. The beautiful turquoise waters all around us on fishing and hikes were truly spectacular. If you want to experience beautiful Alaska, while staying at an incredible home, this is it!!!! The home is so well stocked with every amenity possible. We all enjoyed the hot tub from the deck! We are ready to come back. We also experienced two great river fishing trips via Mark and Cindy Glassmaker fishing charters and we would highly recommend using them for any fishing needs, which are close to house. Thank you Juniper, Shelia, and Paul for the hospitality, which made our trip perfect!!!
