Cooper Landing, Alaska
The house is located a five hundred yards upriver on the opposite bank from the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge, just upstream the Upper River rapids. The living set up is ideal for a romantic couple, a family of 6 or 4-5 friends. Moose, bear, bald eagles, beavers, goats and mountain sheep are commonly seen from the property. Outside there are plentiful wild raspberries in late summer, an outdoor sauna and wade fishing for Rainbows and Dollies.
Wildlife viewing from the property in May can be fantastic before the river opens for fishing. Bald eagles frequently hunt from the trees in the backyard during the early season. The fly fishing for trophy rainbow trout and Dolly Varden on the upper river is tremendous between July and late October. In late September and October silver salmon begin to spawn in the river behind the house.
The fall season in Cooper Landing is arguably the most beautiful time of the year. As the summer season comes to an end the rainbow trout and silver salmon fishing is at its peak as the deciduous trees turn bright yellow and orange.
The Kenai River is open for fishing between June 11th and May 1st. The ADF&G website is a great source of information on the latest fishing regulations.

beautiful home and View!
We had a wonderful stay, the pictures and listing were accurate, the wood burning stove was not allowed to be used but we were there in the summer so it really wasn’t necessary. The home and surroundings were amazing
Beautiful views from every room! Perfect place for our fishing trips on the river. Will definitely book again next year! Loved it!
We had a wonderful stay at the River House. The view was gorgeous and the furniture was very comfortable. There was plenty of room for our group of 4
As described, beautiful riverside lodging! Had a wonderful time. 5 stars
The house was great! It is right on the river. We all enjoyed our stay! I would recommend this house to others.
The photos do not give the property justice even though I have the same photos on my phone. The water, the views, the waterfall baby stream, it was all amazing! The furniture was comfortable and the bathrooms were unique and beautiful. Cooper Landing is a reasonable drive to everything on the peninsula. Thank you for a very nice stay!
My wife, two friends and myself stayed at the River House for 8 nights. We were there to fly fish the Kenai River and sightsee/explore the area. The house was the perfect base for us. The view of the river from the house, the outside fire place and sauna were all great to come home to. We have booked for next year and can't wait to go back. Jeff
We loved staying here. We had booked this property last year but had to cancel due to sickness in the family. We literally booked our return trip based on the availability of this home. The owners are very easy to work with and honest. It is a great house with a beautiful view. We saw a bald eagle fly over every morning. I will say they are having issues with a few things as far as the kitchen was not very clean and a couple of maintenance issues. I messaged with the owner, he explained a few things (they are in a somewhat remote location and are having difficulty finding reliable help this season.) The other parts of the home were fine, trust me, I checked. Don't let this stop you from staying here. He will work with you if you find anything and the issues were solved quickly and we went on to have a great 4 day stay.
We want to stay here again. This place was so beautiful the location is perfect it makes you not even know a TV exists. You can just sit and watch the River for hours. It’s a perfect location for fishing, pictures, fires families and everything. Coming back and Ryan and Robin were great. Thank you!!!
Will keep on coming back!
Great spot for cooper landing.
A beautiful house in the perfect location! Cannot recommend enough. Clean, well stocked, large but still cozy, great sauna, and the most amazing view in all of Cooper Landing. Fish right out of your own back yard. We’ll be back for sure, one of the best places we’ve stayed.
We loved our stay at The River House. We saw salmon jumping and many bald eagles and our favorite spot was watching the river from the den. Ryan was very responsive and helpful as was the property manager, Michael. You could not ask for a better vacation home in Alaska. Thank you for your hospitality, Ryan.
The home was absolutely gorgeous and we loved being right on the river with a cute fire pit and beautiful home. We had an interesting interaction with the property manager. We requested early check in and he said we could arrive early and be by the river while they finished up by 3pm (1 hour early). We arrived around 2:30 and were informed of how he had been drinking tequila on his way to the property and it seemed like him and the crew were partying at the house while getting it ready for us. They were Sun bathing on the deck, drawing on each other in the house and asking us what the person drew on them, jumping in the river and running across the yard in underwear. They left and said goodbye and we assumed they would Be leaving but he freely walked back into the house and almost seemed like they wanted to stay and hang out. Super nice people but very weird and off putting experience when we were wanting to have privacy and relax.
just a tremendous site with such scenic views. Great ameneties. Couldn't have asked for more for our family Alaskan getaway.
Great location, great communication, perfect cabin for 5 people. The sauna was awesome and everything was perfect for our stay. Thank you Michael, Ryan and Robin.
