Stepping into the River life.
From the moment we stepped into our VRBO, BROWN BEAR, we realized how special it is to be in this setting. The home is on the Kenai River, mountains in front and behind, the little town of Coopers Landing up the hill and a clean, comfortable place that meets all our needs. Rob, the on-site manager and Amber, the owner, are great hosts that genuinely want to share the wonder of their part of Alaska.

Perfect Cooper Landing spot
Our family of 6 from Eagle River and visiting family of 4 from AZ had a few to enjoy the entire property… this place boast beautiful views of Kenai River, easy access for raft and kayak launching, close to food and central spot to zip down to other fishing spots. The beds are SO cozy, cabins spacious for spreading out and kids ran wild all over property. The fire pit with gazebo was out favorite hang out spot even when it was raining! The on site manager Rob was so kind and responsive and owner Amber went above and beyond to ensure our stay was the best it could be making arrangements to accommodate our special needs kiddo. We can’t wait to return. We had a fabulous time!

Outstanding!!!
This place is amazing. Incredible views. Rob, the property manager, is super helpful. The owners were attentive to our needs. The house is close to local eating places, fishing and grocery stores. And it’s right on the water with the most beautiful scenery anywhere. We’d stay here again before any other place on the Kenai Peninsula!

Breathtaking Kenai River views from this amazing cabin!
We loved our stay at the Brown Bear Cabin at Cooper Landing!!!! The cabin was well appointed for a large group. We loved making s'mores on our first evening with the complementary s'mores kit that was waiting for us! That was a very nice touch to have available! There was complimentary pancake mix as well, but we never got around to cooking them due to our short stay. I only wish we had a few more days to spend in this beautiful cabin and breathtaking Kenai river and peninsula area! The on-site host, Rob, was outstanding! And communication from Amber was awesome throughout. Highly recommend the Brown Bear cabin to get away and enjoy the beauty of the Kenai Peninsula!

Bucket list-Alaska!
What an awesome place! Brown Bear Lodge is great. Centrally located, lots of room, and has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Thank you, Amber, for all the small touches-sending us lists of tours, guides, and events to help us get organized. I can’t say enough. I must give a shout out to the businesses and residents of Cooper Landing. Small town with big hearts! Highly, highly recommend Cooper Landing Lodge on the Kenia River. Thank you Amber and family!

Fabulous location and very helpful host!
We loved our five nights at Brown Bear cabin. Had a little glitch the first day, the fridge died and Amber and Rob (the caretaker) did everything in their power to help us out until a new one could be delivered (ice, coolers). When you are not near large appliance retailers, you just have to adapt and we appreciated Amber checking in on us to make sure we were set with ice. The dock and river are beautiful, and the property is centrally located (near a few restaurants, a small grocery store). Cabin was clean and well- equipped. Great family vacation!

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful area!
We absolutely loved our stay here! Plenty of beds (and so comfy!), close to Russian/Kenai confluence where lots of fishing was done, and we made sure to spend time on the dock and back deck. We can’t get enough of Alaska and this cabin helped make it an amazing experience. We’ll be back!

Beautiful Oasis!
I've been to many vacation rentals and this was by far the best. This was the first time that the pictures didn't do justice to the actual beauty of the scenery and the home. The owner provided lots of extras and made sure that we wanted for nothing. The property manager was on site and very attentive. They even provided the makings for smores! The house was large and comfortable and you can't beat the scenery. We even saw a momma moose swim across the river and a baby moose came right on the property. It was by far the best rental we've ever been to! I highly recommend this to any family. It is also close to fishing, rafting and several good restaurants. Excellent place to stay!!

Better Than Advertrised
We could talk extensively about how clean the unit was, or that it was ideal for enjoying the numerous venues in the area, or the serene riverside location and on and on BUT what you want to rent this unit for isn’t in the advertisement —- THE ONSITE CARETAKER!!!! added a dimension you can’t get in most rentals. The most notable aspect to display this was his ongoing texting with us concerning the condition of the fires in the area. He reached out to us to put us at ease, assure us and make it personal to take care of us in a difficult situation. If you want to meet real Alaskans the engaging discussions with him will make your trip a memorable one. Enjoy the roomy well appointed and maintained unit but again remember our comments about the “Caretaker”.

The property is a great set up. It was only my husband and myself but the home is large enough to accommodate a large family or a group of friends. The location and dock was a bonus, it was nice to go out on the deck and enjoy the life outside of our hectic world. We already are planning to return back next June 2020. Rob who checks you into the property goes above and beyond to ensures all your needs are met. He is an added bonus.
