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.

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.

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.

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.
