About this house rental
Nestled in Sterling, this attractive house for $725 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. EXCLUSIVE VIEW PROPERTY! LARGE, CUSTOM POST & BEAM HOME OVERLOOKING KENAI NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE. 13 YEARS IN OPERATION WITH 100% FIVE STAR REVIEWS. PERFECT FOR LARGE FAMILY/FRIEND GROUPS. HOT TUB ON DECK WITH FOREVER VIEWS. Raven's Bluff House is unique among properties in the central Kenai Peninsula. With 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, two full kitchen/living areas, a large deck and outdoor lawn area, your group will have plenty of space to relax, gather, rest, and recharge in the Alaska wilderness. An architectural gem, this custom-built post and beam home boasts 30 ft vaulted ceilings...making the view inside the home a perfect compliment to the vast and spectacular vista outside. There is simply no better view in the area...guests often comment that the pictures do not do it justice, and frankly, it's just not possible to capture what awaits you. Many guests say they loved the home so much they wished they'd planned less sightseeing trips and just spent more time at this unique property. We are proud of our 11 year history in business and our 5 STAR guest review streak over that entire period. We've taken great feedback from our guests and every year make an investment in improving Raven's Bluff in any way we can to make sure our guests have a wonderful vacation. Many upgrades have been made to the house in the last few years, including high-end kitchen appliances, a 6-person hot tub on the deck, new lighting, quality furniture and bedding/towels, large smart TVs, heating systems, ceiling fans, landscaping, new roofs, rooftop solar, new Anderson doors and windows, custom blackout blinds, and every kitchen gadget imaginable including new Nespresso machines in each kitchen. Raven's Bluff House has two separate units, the upper which has 3 bedrooms/2 baths and the lower (Bear Den) which has 2 bedrooms/1 bath. They are not connected internally and you'll need to access through an outside door, which allows for great privacy for larger groups. Alaska is a wonderland of natural beauty and amazing resources, which our family has spent generations protecting through conservation efforts. We welcome you to our vacation home where you too can become a 'Sourdough' and share in this unique experience. The home is available year round. Winter travelers will be rewarded with an incredible show of colorful northern lights and millions of stars in the dark Arctic night. Nearby winter activities include cross-country skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and hot beverage drinking! Summer guests will be rewarded with midnight sun, vast and expansive views, solitude, wildlife, and world-class salmon and halibut fishing. The house is centrally located in Sterling which makes day trips to both Homer and Seward possible for touring both Kachamak and Resurrection Bays with their incredible wildlife, fishing, shopping and history. Multi-generational families taking their once-in-a-lifetime trip to Alaska will especially appreciate this property. The house comfortably sleeps 10 people but if you have a larger group, the Bird's Nest in-law apartment is located on the same property and is a lovely 1 bedroom 1 bath home nestled among the trees with incredible mountain views from the deck. Inquire if you'd like to rent both properties...The Bird's Nest is also listed on VRBO.

Where to start? Amazing home, perfect views, comfortable home with very comfortable beds. Home owner Juniper and house managers Shelia and Paul were five star service! We enjoyed all their advice and they were extremely welcoming and accommodating! We had two families, four kids and four adults so the house was the most perfect layout. It had everything we needed and more. Centrally located to every city and trail, plus the drive from many cities was stunning. The drive from Anchorage to Sterling was heaven. The beautiful turquoise waters all around us on fishing and hikes were truly spectacular. If you want to experience beautiful Alaska, while staying at an incredible home, this is it!!!! The home is so well stocked with every amenity possible. We all enjoyed the hot tub from the deck! We are ready to come back. We also experienced two great river fishing trips via Mark and Cindy Glassmaker fishing charters and we would highly recommend using them for any fishing needs, which are close to house. Thank you Juniper, Shelia, and Paul for the hospitality, which made our trip perfect!!!

This place exceeded our expectations in every way. The attention to details was second to none. I would highly recommend this home to anyone. The location was great because you can travel to Soldotna and Cooper Landing pretty easily. Also, with the new 3 Bears Opening, a grocery store is really close now. Thanks again Desiree and Juniper!

We loved Raven's Bluff House! Central to Homer and Seward (2 hour drives) as a home base, we could come back after a day of adventure and relax in the hot tub and enjoy the mountain / glacier views. Plenty of outdoors gear was available too. Check out our house review on Kovaction at YouTube! Search #kovaction and look for the red flying K.

We had an incredible week on the Kenai Peninsula. We had the opportunity to fish, hike, see TONS of wildlife like bears and moose, and no matter what the day brought, we always could come home and enjoy the amazing accommodations that this magical place has to offer.
This space is clean, comfortable, and has incredible views and an amazing yard. Plenty of room for activities, games, dinner on the deck, and the hot tub was also amazing.
The property management team is so quick to respond and to help with anything that you might need.
Kitchen is fully stocked with literally anything and everything you could think of.
They also have tons of extras like bikes, waders, fishing stuff. Very awesome!
Thank you so much for our stay!

Our family of eight traveled to the Kenai peninsula to experience fishing during the salmon run. We chose this place to stay because of its location, its size, the hot tub and the beautiful mountain view. We were not disappointed!! What a great property! We were pleasantly surprised to find the property equipped with additional fishing equipment, a fully equipped kitchen, a deep freeze to store all of our fish. We could not have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved this place. We even had a moose and her baby go past the deck one night. The internet is the only thing that doesn't work very well, but you are on vacation in the middle of the wilderness, so that is to be expected. You couldn't find a nicer place, and they do everything to make your trip special. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We stayed at this rental with four of our friends. So many great things to say about this property. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. In addition to all of the basics it had pluses like a super well-equipped kitchen, plenty of towels and a hot tub. The property manager, Lisa, always picked up the phone and was very responsive and provided great communication. Finally, the view from the deck was fist rate! This rental is highly recommended.

I caught myself calling this property home in the week we stayed there, and while I don't expect to own a place this nice in Alaska, I would want to stay here again! Nice property with beautiful view of mountains to the East. Great beds and appliances! We enjoyed the hot tub on the deck! Good service from the caretaker! Just understand whether the Bear's Den is included or not when booking. It was clearly specified but I didn't notice it at first, but it was very satisfactory for us without the Bear's Den.

We really had a great time at this property. Juniper was amazingly accommodating for our trip which required multiple revisions to our reservation. The house is large and has everything you could need. Great new hot tub. Amazing nighttime views. The main house was perfect for our family of five including 3 adult kids, 21 through 25. Juniper allowed us to use her fishing gear and we caught a our own batch of sockeye salmon at the nearby river, and we are totally unskilled at fishing. We cooked them up using the grill at the the house!
House is secluded but safe and short drive to town with all amenities. No question that I would stay there again and recommend to friends.

The property was perfect for our group. We rented all three units Raven's Bluff main house, Bear Den, and Birds next. This gave us plenty of room for 13 guys on our fishing trip. The main house is very nice and the kitchen is well stocked with every detail covered. It was very convenient to store all our fishing gear at the outside covered pavilion and picnic table. The house is very close to Morgan's Landing and a short drive to most of the other Sockeye hotspots. The outside living spaces were very nice... from the many decks and fire pit we had a great few of the mountains. Also, a high end Weber grill on the deck was very handy.

This is a spectacular vacation rental. The listing is spot on. All the amenities are exactly as promised. The beds are super comfortable. There were 8 of us age 18 to 87 and the property met the needs of everyone. The location is beautiful, quiet, views; but not too far from everything in Soldatna. The owner provided lots of good information before our arrival on activities and restaurants. The on site caretaker was very responsive to any questions or needs during our stay. I would definitely rent this property again. We hated to leave!

Fantastic property to explore Alaska. Views from the back deck are amazing. Thoughtful owner and very well stoked property. Brew602 in Soldotna for coffee and waffles was awesome!
