This was our second time staying at this property and it was perfect! The owners have thought of everything. The location was great as a base camp, and our large group had everything that we needed to enjoy 7 nights on the Kenai Peninsula. We especially enjoyed the outdoor areas, fire pit, yard games and covered porch. We spent every evening playing games and talking about our adventures from the day. Thanks again, Painters!

Family Salmon Run

Beautiful property that was perfect for the salmon run. With a family of 10 people, this cabin was spacious and met our needs. Owners were fantastic and welcoming. Jodi was so kind to pick up groceries for breakfast due to our late night arrival and offered to let us stay later in the day for our late night departure. We will definitely book again if available when we come back to Alaska.

As advertised!

I don’t think a better VRBO exists on the Kenai Peninsula. Jodi and Erik were outstanding hosts. They have the mindset of trying to set you up with everything you’d need/want on an Alaskan vacation. So thorough and thoughtful. I knew they had supplies but I did not know they took so much time and effort to make sure everything was perfect. Jodi was so responsive if we ever had a question or a need. We had a group of 10 ages 16-71 and everyone had a great time, from fishing, bbq, yard games and recommendations… everything was perfect!

The Moose Lodge

We arrived and checked in a little early. Everyone in our family was amazed with the accommodations provided by Jodi and Erik. From the ready to use kitchen to the comfy beds this house, the location and everything about it were just perfect for our 10 day vacation. I would recommend this propety to everyone looking for a quiet, off the beaten path get away. The cow moose and her 2 calves visited often and were a sight for all to see.
