Right on the River

Right on the River, it is beautiful. Walk down and fish have a bbq and meet new friends. A true Kenai experience. I wish the bottom floor had patio doors instead of windows, but it was an amazing view. I would stay again.

No frills room with an amazing river view! Old fashioned keys which was fun. Lounge on property, but we don’t hear anything from it in our room although we could see the outdoor seating area. Would stay there again.
