This property is very conveniently located in the middle of the Kenai Peninsula. Just minutes away from the small town conveniences in Sterling such as restaurants, groceries, etc. This property is a great base accommodation for your whole Alaskan vacation. From halibut and salmon fishing to white water rafting to bird watching, guided or not, this is it! You could be just about any where on the Kenai Peninsula and do just about anything you can dream of with very little effort and minimal time frames. From the "Bears Den", you are 11 miles from the heart of Soldotna's busy town center or 22 miles to the city of Kenai if you want to visit those areas. Also you are 90 minutes away from Seward or 110 minutes away from Homer the other direction by car on the Kenai Peninsula. You will feel like you are in the wilds of Alaska and yet relaxed with natural beauty all around. The 145 feet of our private river bank front to fish off of with plenty of elbow room, view, or just relax and enjoy. There are 4 new daylight platform decks to fish and view from for ease and convenience. It also has picnic tables and benches, fire pit, fish cleaning table, and plenty of wild life to see. There is a your own full size freezer for your catch, satellite TV with a 55 inch HD flat screen, and wireless internet to stay in touch with. You will also have your own kitchenette for your fresh catch and for times you would rather just stay in. Also your own private newer washer and dryer for your convenience. Our one bedroom vacation rental, "Bears Den", has accommodation for 4 to 5 people. The vacation rental has queen size bed and 2 twin size bunk beds. There is a very large comfortable couch and a rollout bed if necessary to suit your needs. WE ALSO HAVE OUR WOLF DEN CABIN/BUNK HOUSE JUST STEPS AWAY TO ACCOMMODATE A LARGE FAMILY OR PARTY. These sleeping quarters come with a beautiful Kenai River view which will sleep 2 or 3 additional guests. This Wolf Den will not be available without the use of the Bears Den and a one time additional cleaning fee. This is because because the Wolf Den is a dry cabin without a bath or sink. It is warm, comfortable, and newly remodeled with a knotty pine interior and captain twin beds. It also has its own fridge and microwave and table and chairs for games and snacking. WI-FI, TV, AND INTERNET will be available. The "Bears Den" is just one of our four vacation rental accommodations. We also have the "Eagles Nest" lodging on VRBO with the listing number #798980 in case you are interested in our property availability. And we have the "Klondike House" which is a 3 bedroom ranch home with a listing number #1801842. And then there is the brand new "Moose Cabin" also listed on VRBO with #3288577. These other properties may be of value in case you have a very large group or party and want the whole property to use. Or maybe if you have some calendar or scheduling issues. We are able to help you customize a package of adventures and side trips during your stay for you. We want you to have a great time and wonderful memories. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Kitchenette - Microwave - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 960 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34020000/34010100/34010025/7500b12e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SHARED PRIVATE FISHING DOCK ON THE BEAUTIFUL KENAI RIVER!!

His knowledge of the area allowed us the best possible experience in this fishing mecca of Alaska. And our best catching ended up being right in front of us off his docks with his expertise in a new technique! The accommodations were perfect with everything we could possibly need...and then some!

The owner of the property exceeded our expectations in every way. Ron's knowledge of the area and contacts in the community made booking those last minute fishing trips a breeze. Additionally, the onsite outfitter equipment room provided those odds and ends that we never even thought to bring. The accommodations were well stocked and very comfortable. Cooking fresh salmon over an open fire while sitting by the river is about as perfect as it can get. Thanks again for making a great vacation even better!!! ##### Kristine T.

Jul 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wanna Be Alaskan! But always a Floridian! Can’t say enough… we loved this little cabin! Everything you need to reset and relax. Beautifully well kept grounds with so many thoughtful amenities. Well appointed kitchen and cabin that is exceptionally clean. Beautiful view of the Kenai river front with eagles flying by every single night. Multiple fire pits to gather around after your day’s adventures. Close to travel to many main points of interest or just completely unwind. Incredible host who truly takes pride in his property and was so helpful with our inquiries about our daily adventures. Ron you’re truly one of a kind and we were so happy to have meet you and stayed at your little cabin. Kevin, Queen Victoria and Caleb. ##### Kevin S.

We had an amazing time living in Alaska and staying in Bears Den for two months during the winter. Ron and Katya are welcoming hosts. They ensured we were comfortable and had everything during our long winter stay. Bears Den, a one-bedroom cabin, worked out perfectly for us. Both of us worked remotely from the cabin. The Internet connection was reliable, and we had no outages during our stay. The kitchen in the cabin is small, but it was convenient and had everything for us to cook dinner almost every day. It was warm and cozy inside the Bears Den during cold winter nights. Eagle’s Eye property is located within walking distance of a local supermarket. This was very convenient when we ran out of ingredients for breakfast or dinner and did not need to drive to Soldotna. The best part of Bears Den is the view. It was calming and meditating to look at the half-frozen Kenai River with Bold Eagles flying back and forth over it. We did not want to leave and can’t wait to return there again. ##### Julia N. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Denali-Hotels-Talkeetna-Alaskan-Lodge.h9738650.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Seward Windsong Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Seward-Hotels-Seward-Windsong-Lodge.h97708.Hotel-Information) > > [Caribou Cabins](https://www.expedia.ca/Tok-Hotels-Caribou-Cabins.h21074204.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [Land's End Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Homer-Hotels-Lands-End-Resort.h860785.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Suites Hotel Haines](https://www.expedia.ca/Haines-Hotels-Aspen-Suites-Hotel-Haines.h10002872.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Summit Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Moose-Pass-Hotels-Summit-Lake-Lodge.h10240678.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information)
