Great place on the river!

Perfect location for fishing, spacious living area, perfect for our family get together. The owners were extremely communicative and helpful, which we greatly appreciated traveling with a young baby. If we need a place to stay out here again, we know where to go!

Incredible location and experience

The cabin exceeded our expectations in every way. The communication with the owners was outstanding. I have stayed at many rentals in Cooper Landing and this is by far my favorite.

Incredible!

Traveled to this area five times, and I must say this has been our favorite property! We only stayed three nights, but wish we had booked much longer. So comfortable and the view is absolutely gorgeous.

Beautiful river setting - Peaceful

Bear Den is a beautiful river house with a large grass lawn leading to the river. Beautiful views. LOVED sitting by the fire pit each evening. Private but close to the center of Cooper Landing. Very comfortable inside & well appointed kitchen. Our favorite place to stay on our AK Trip. Highly recommend this.

That view!!!

We loved our stay at the Bear Den! We spent most of our time on the patio watching the local wildlife, a beaver dragging branches upstream, salmon jumping and eagles soaring above and perched nightly across the river. The view was extraordinary so we dined on the patio every meal. The kitchen is pretty well stocked but was missing a few items such as a vegetable peeler and casserole dishes for heating food.

Lovely

Really enjoyed staying here, right on the river. Quick access to everything local. Quiet and comfortable. Firepit is great gathering spot. I was warned about the internet and it is a definite weakness to this location, which is probably an issue anywhere not in a big city. I wonder what the starlink availability is here, as that would definitely be an upgrade if doable. Other than that no complaints.

The Bear Den is a magical home!

The minute you drive up to the house you are overwhelmed by the river view that this house has. The house was plenty big and had everything we needed. Watching the bald eagles and ducks and fisherman floating by was so entertaining.

Perfect

This was the perfect location for exploring the Kenai peninsula. The house was just as advertised. Met our needs perfectly. The owners provided excellent directions to the house which we are very grateful for as we arrived well after midnight in pouring rain. Very happy that we picked this location for our stay.

Fantastic home and location

This is the first time we’ve stayed in Cooper Landing but won’t be the last. This view is spectacular! Loved sitting by the fire next to the Kenai River every night. The kitchen is well stocked. Bring your binoculars to watch the eagles and mountain goats. The owners, Ryan and Robin are very responsive if you need anything. Definitely recommend and will return!!

Nice property and location.

We are Alaskans who stay in Cooper Landing several times every year. First time at this property, and will stay again. Strategic location, less road noise than many area properties. River frontage. Clean, functional. Decks and fire pit for outdoor use.

The Bears Den was clean and comfortable with great views . The river and mountains were stunning.

The property was great , the property manager was awesome answered my questions in a timely manner and made sure we were comfortable . We had a great time and would love to go back. Great restaurants close by .. Sunrise Inn baked Halibut was a favorite. The house was just as listed very spacious and comfortable for our party of 4. We visited many towns and the house was conveniently located. We booked a local fishing charter in Coopers Landing and were very pleased with Coopers Landing Fishing Guide services.. would highly recommend this property. We saw Eagles everyday on the river and enjoyed the fire pit by the river and grilled on the deck ..made lots of memories. Thanks for letting us stay in your home ...

Disappointed

While the check in process was easy and the home was adequate in size and location, the cleanliness was disappointing. The bathrooms looked like the floors had not been swept or wiped. The bath rug in one of the bathrooms was obviously soiled . The beds appeared to be clean sheets but made up in a rush, barely tucked in. The kitchen walls had splattered food and several pots, bowls and cooking utensils were placed in cabinets with dried food on them. The home looked like it needed a good cleaning. On several days, someone was working with drills and hammers in the garage underneath the house. It appeared , whoever cleaned the house was in a hurry and did not prepare the home adequately for the incoming guest.
