“My favourite place on the Kenai”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

A friend and I stayed at the B&B for a week in September focusing on Silver Salmon fishing. The owners of this beautiful place offered a perfect service for us fishermen by organizing everything. A delicious 4 am breakfast, guide pick-up on the dock of the lodge, fishing gear, fish cleaning, filleting, vack-packing and sending home our fish.
The B&B itself is located directly on the river and offers very good bank-fishing possibilities with the appropriate "Alaska-nature-feeling". On the other hand it is in walking distance to the amenities of Soldotna.
The rooms are very clean and the whole lodge has a charming, home-like atmosphere. I did not miss the private bath, but others may. I therefore only gave 4/5 points on the room rating.

Room Tip: Try to get a riverfront room. The view is stunning.

“Nice, comfortable but no private bathrooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

We stayed in Soldotna in order to take a flight-seeing fishing/bear-watching combo (don't do it - see my review of High Adventure Air), so we wanted a place that was not too expensive but looked nice. This place fit the bill. We got a very nice room with three beds (good, since we are four people) with a lovely view of the Kenai River. The place was nicely furnished and comfortable. There were no private baths in the rooms (something I was not expecting!) but the public bathrooms were clean and in any event we didn't see any other guests, so it was like we had the place to ourselves. I highly recommend it if you are comfortable sharing a bathroom. I must clarify that Soldotna B&B did not organize our flight-seeing trip, and I wish we had used them.

Although we do have rooms with shared baths and private baths, this guest did not request a room with private bath. We recommend to all potential guests that if they require or prefer a room with private bath that they request it. We also have the policy that if a guest is unhappy with their room for any reason, we will either move them to one of our rooms that better meets their needs or we will offer/provide them alternative, comparable lodging at another property on the river. This of course presumes that the guest informs us during their stay that they are unsatisfied with their room. Otherwise how would we know?

As is born out by many of the reviews, most guests readily accept and enjoy the rooms with shared baths once they see how they are designed and located. There are never any "lines" and there are NO stalls. The restrooms and shower rooms designated for those rooms with shared baths are all "private" in the sense that they are only occupied by one individual guest at a time. Shower rooms and restrooms are separate so that guests showering do not prevent other guests from using the restrooms and vice versa.

For all of the guestrooms with shared baths, the restrooms and showers are directly adjacent to the guestrooms not on a different floor or a mile down the hall.

“Good people, good food and clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011

My son and I stayed at the B&B for a week in August 2011 for a fishing trip. We found the B&B to be clean and with good food. Steve and Monika who are the owners run a great place. I found the B&B on Trip Advisor and decided to stay there since it was highly rated. I now understand why. I prefer to stay in this type setting if possible (B&B). I found the setting to be very comfortable and a nice place to return to after a day of fishing. Everyone was hospitable. The fishing guides that were arranged we all good and we brought back close to 150 pounds of fish that we caught.
All in all, this is a great choice for a place to stay.

“Loved it! Great People, and very helpful on fishing tours, etc.”

We loved our stay at the cozy Soldotna B and B. We also booked a fishing guide who was very good, sorry cannot remember his name. they had all the gear we needed to fix up this city slicker for a great day on the river. The wife enjoyed the trip as well. Saw fish, moose, and caught many fish. We had catch and release, but still had a great time. It was nice saving the fish for the future.... the guide was knowledgeable, and new the river well. We even saw a bald eagle, and other flora and fauna. We would recommend this b and b to anyone.....the food, was great, with a nice German European flavor. It was a nice easy to reach site, and even stayed a second night. We found a coupon in the Kenai Passport which tipped us off to the place, and received a discount, which was nice as well.

Room Tip: Check local guides, booklets like the Kenai Passport...

Monika and Steve are GREAT hosts. They took care of all the details, allowed us to make some changes to our schedule while there, and did it all in a very professional manner. My wife and I were there for the "Fisherman's Fantasy" six-day fishing package and it GREATLY EXCEEDED our expectations. We came away with an amazing 330 lbs of fish fillets! More importantly, we had a wonderful time fishing, enjoying the lodge, and soaking up the beautiful Alaska scenery. I'd recommend this trip to anyone serious about fishing!!!

Room Tip: We had a great room on the lower floor with a balcony overlooking the Kenai River. Wonderful!!
