Moose River Resort Review
My friend and I came to fish the Kenai. The property was a great location. Away from the hustle and bustle yet close to Bing's Landing for launching the boat. Grocery store and gas station were close by. Cabin is well supplied and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and made meal preparation easy. Would recommend highly.

My dad and I stayed for 10 days and I don’t have a single bad thing to say about this cabin! Has everything you need, including a large deep freezer for fish on the deck. The hosts have quick response times and left fresh vegetables from their garden for us. Will be re-booking.

Jaci and Moose River Mike are great hosts. If you are looking for a truly Alaskan experience this is your place. Super friendly and easy to get along with. The cabin is the best. By god this guy has been attacked by a bear and lived nothing short of a great experience. I give them a 11 out of ten. Clean friendly and fun.

Quintessential Alaskan Cabin / Chalet
What a wonderful, authentic Alaskan cabin / chalet! Jaci and ‘Moose River Mike’ are awesome hosts: responsive and friendly if you need anything, but otherwise leaving you to enjoy the place as if it were your own. We caught sockeye salmon on the Kasilof and Kenai rivers and prepared fresh salmon every night! The kitchen, and the cabin, had everything we needed. (And Three Bears Alaska grocery/gas is just 5 minutes away.) The view of the Moose River from the big front windows is picture perfect. I also love that Moose River Mike’s Super Cub float plane was docked on the river, and you can read about some of his amazing adventures! We saw three moose just up the river, along with ducks and other wildlife. It’s amazingly quiet and peaceful, and if we get the chance to come back, would definitely stay here again. - Darren, Grace and Claire - Texas

Awesome Cabin
The cabin was amazing! So much charm and the authentic rustic look with all the modern amenities for a truly comfortable and relaxing stay. We had a great time watching the river thaw and and all the wildlife swim and fly by the cabin. The windows that faced the river was the best "TV" we watched in a long time. A wonderful getaway!

Alaskan Getaway
We had a fabulous stay. Mike and Jaci cover all of the things you'd need in a home, from a well appointed kitchen to the little details like robes and basic toiletries. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We chose to prepare nearly all of our own meals from the cabin. The river was beautiful to watch, the birds are always putting on a show and three moose walked through the front yard one morning as we were having coffee! We fished two days on the Kenai River and caught some monster Rainbow trout. We also drove to Seward for a Glacier Cruise and took a drive to Homer another day. Alaska doesn't disappoint with the snow capped mountains all around you. Our weather was great, 50's during the day, 20's/30's at night. We were prepared with the right clothing so it was a non issue. Layers layers layers! Hope to return again, will want to stay here, for sure! Thanks Mike and Jaci :) Dee Dee and Steve, from Northern California

Quiet and Peaceful
Centrally located to explore Kenai Wildlife Refuge. Sitting on the porch, on the dock, or by the fire pit was very peaceful. The cabin is rustic but ideal for a family. Kitchen had everything you needed to cook. Close enough to Soldotna to pick up some groceries.

Mike & Jaci are beyond great hosts. The cabin is gorgeous, stocked with everything you would need. Definitely a home away from home. Quiet, secluded, gorgeous Alaska scenery, everything you would think of when you think of a cabin stay. This was our first time staying, we were not there 4 hours and booked another stay. Can’t wait to come back.
