    Beautiful and well maintained property with gorgeous views from the porch of the Kenai river and surrounding mountains. Was the perfect central spot for exploring the Kenai Peninsula on our Alaskan vacation.

    This was a fabulous place to stay for our four member group! You couldn’t ask for a better view, which is what we wanted for this portion of our trip. The house was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and host was very communicative.

    The house and location were perfect. The place was clean, well stocked with everything we need to do some cooking. Owner was very quick to respond to any questions. I would 100% go back and stay here again. The only thing I would have liked would be if the bed in the back bedroom was more comfortable, but I am spoiled with a good mattress at home and do tend to have a hard time sleeping comfortably anywhere we go so it might not seem that bad to others.

    Property exceeded all expectations. Wouldn't stay anywhere else on the River...except maybe the property next door (same owners).

    The pictures, especially of the proximitybeauty of the river, don’t do it justice. It had everything we needed and comfy beds too! What a beautiful, relaxing place to stay.

    The property is beautiful. The Kenai River is a color I've never seen before. The cabin is very comfortable and clean with plenty of space.

    We had a great time staying at these cabins. We rented the Bear and River cabins since we had family in town from Georgia. Everyone had a great time. It was very relaxing with great views of the Kenai River. The kids enjoyed fishing in the river, and we had several Bald Eagles hanging out nearby (up to four at one point). The cabins had plenty of space for everyone. Loved the fire pit overlooking the river.

    The Bear Den was just as advertised! The property was clean and comfortable and close to several good restaurants. The river view is amazing and we saw an eagle from the deck! We enjoyed a rafting trip down the river and saw many eagles and a moose with her baby. The property is an easy and beautiful drive to Seward where we went on a whale watching tour and a sled dog exhibition. Would definitely stay again!!
