This is a great place to get away for those not wanting to be in a regimented daily schedule of activities. Just a short walk over to the famous Kenai River to "wet your line." There are other public access areas (Bing's Landing/Morgan's Landing/Izzak Walton Park) within 10 minutes driving time of the cabin where you can fish on your own. Most of our guests prefer to go with a guide at first, to "learn the ropes."

Depending on the size of your group, choose either the 2 bedroom (6 beds) totally remodeled Alaskan cabin or the new 1 bedroom rooftop apartment. Both places have a fully equipped modern kitchen with everything you need to assist in making a meal to replenish those hungry appetites after a hard day of fighting pristine Alaskan fish. If you prefer to grill outside, there is a convenient BBQ grill and picnic table available for your use near the open fire pit.

The Sterling Retreat is conveniently located just 20 minutes from Soldotna and a variety of restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, fishing tackle supplies, etc. The cabin location also allows you relatively easy access to all three sections of the 85 mile Kenai River; the Lower, the Middle and the Upper. The Russian River sockeye fishery is about 30 minutes drive to red hot fishing during the two salmon runs beginning on June 11 and running through the second week of August.
