Kenai Bluff House is located in downtown historic Kenai. The house was built in 1935, and bought by my grandparents in 1947. My dad was raised in this house! Of course, the house has been remodeled and has all the modern conveniences, but has a wonderful and rich family history. The home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of room for your whole family.

The property has a large lawn and outdoor furniture for enjoying the stunning view of Cook Inlet.You can watch the fishing boats come and go with the tide. Eagles often land right on the lawn as they are out cruising for their next ocean meal.

Kenai is a small town and the “downtown” is quaint and quiet. The home is located at the end of a residential street. It is located next door to Erik Hansen Scout Park, a small community park and contains a bronze statue of a Boy Scout overlooking the Cook Inlet. Interpretive displays point out many physical features of the landscape and a memorial plaque is attached to the base of the statue. Park includes few trees, some shrubs, two flower gardens, and a gravel walkway leading to the bluff’s edge. This is a great area just to sit, relax and enjoy the extensive views over the lower Cook Inlet, tidal lands, and mouth of the Kenai River.

We are located within walking distance of the historical Russian Orthodox Church and Kenai Visitor and Convention Center which has a historical walking tour available within this area. This property is on the walking tour, as The Showalter House (#10) !!

There are several nice places to eat where you can walk as well.

Reasonable rates per night for four people. No separate cleaning fee. However, guests must not leave fish remains on property. Cleaning fee applies if fish remains are left on property.

    We enjoyed the house and view. It was absolutely fantastic! The kitchen did lack a few supplies as far as pots and pans, and the Internet did not work for the entirety of the trip…… But who needs that when you’re in Alaska!! Very accessible to salmon, fishing and other attractions.Other than that, it’s an absolute gorgeous place and would highly suggest staying at this property!!

    This place is so great that I have trouble recommending it because I have to reserve it more than a year in advance.

    All was good, especially the views and the neighborhood. There is a cute coffee house nearby, a couple of neighborhood bars and a burger bus! The kitchen lacked a few things, but we were out so much it ended up not being a big deal. The house could use a little warmth, but price was right, location was great and the host was easy to work with!

    Gorgeous location! Truly the most beautiful views of anywhere we’ve ever stayed. It’s also huge, which was great. Plenty of space for a big group. The house is old (it’s historic, but it also just feels old— creaky, tired furniture, no screens on windows, etc.), and it could’ve been cleaner. The upstairs shower had a leak, but the owners were prompt in responding about this issue and refunded part of the cost. Kenai is a beautiful little town. Thanks for having us.

    We fish the Kenai every year and usually camp or spend 2 nights in a hotel. This year we had family visiting from out of state. We planned 2 different fishing trips so needed to stay for 5 days. A house was the perfect solution. The location was perfect with a great view of the mouth of the river and the inlet. My husband spent several hours on the bluff watching dip netters and boats coming and going. We walked around the neighborhood and enjoyed the historic buildings. The house was well equipped and comfortable. We will come back!

    Beautiful property with awesome Kenai River mouth and Cook Inlet views. Eagles soar over yard and often land. Loved everything about this historic 1935 built home.

    Wonderful location. House is tired. Kitchen contents limited. Needs a few more chairs. Need grab bar in showers. Loved the fire pit.

    Nice view of the bay. House could use some TLC, but it is an old house.
