LOVELY SECLUDED STUDIO - Two miles from Soldotna!

Bear Paw Studio Retreat is located on a beautifully secluded 20 acre private forest, with only a two mile drive to Soldotna boasting an array of coffee shops, grocery and specialty shops and restaurants. Bear Paw is located in the lower level of our home, has a private entrance, designated parking and plenty of parking for tenant boats or extra vehicles. With king and queen beds in the sleeping area, Bear Paw Studio comfortably accommodates two to four guests. Bear Paw Studio is equipped with modern kitchen appliances and lovely Alaskan decor. Complete with a very large bear hide covering an entire wall! Black out window coverings provide sufficient darkness during our bright summer months allowing our guests to get a good night's sleep. There is a large freezer exclusively for guest use, which is particularly useful during fishing season. Fish cleaning, however, is prohibited on the premises, due to potential attraction of bears. During the summer months, Bear Paw is a perfect fisherman’s retreat. In winter, when snow is abundant, we maintain several cross country ski trails and have a fabulous sledding hill for those who desire snowy adventures. Bear Paw has something for everyone traveling to the Kenai or Soldotna area.

Such a lovely place
This property is an efficiency apartment on the ground floor of a lovely home. The owners are right upstairs and completely available to answer questions and assist with problems. In addition to the apartment, there are 29 acres of property, and I loved wandering around in the quiet and beauty. I would go there again anytime. Love. Love. Love!!

Perfect Jumping Off Spot
This VRBO was everything we needed for our short stay in Alaska. The full kitchen setup and multiple bed options were great for us fixing meals, snacks and coffee times. The wooded setting at the end of the road provided peace, quiet and a couple of encounters with local wildlife. Our hosts were friendly, helpful and fun to talk with. We can hardly wait to come again.

This is a gem! Jackie was amazing and super helpful. Her communication was awesome and very personable. She was also able to give local recommendations and great hospitality. Having a freezer at the location helped tremendously get the fish ready for travel. Jackie goes out of her way to help in anyway possible.

Southern Hospitality in Alaska
Jackie and Jayson could not be more gracious or hospitable hosts! They helped arrange fish processing, offered a cooler, discussed the local eateries/breweries, etc. They are terrific individuals, and I'm confident they will do everything in their power to make your stay enjoyable. As for the accommodations, exactly what 4 grown men on a fishing trip were seeking. Clean, cozy, off the beaten path but less than 5 minutes to town, freezer for fish, fully-stocked kitchen, shower/tub combo, etc. You won't be disappointed!!

Great Place to Stay
Jackie and Jayson went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a wonderful experience. We were contacted prior to our arrival to see if there was anything we needed in particular that they could provide for us, which was extremely thoughtful. The property was very clean and well laid out and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Jackie and Jayson made the stay so nice with their hospitality and were very welcoming. We highly recommend this place and plan to stay here again next time we are in the area. Thank you again Jackie and Jayson!

It’s a Gem! Super clean!
This was the perfect place to stay for our family. Everything was so clean and very comfortable . We had looked at several places in the Kenai Soldotna area and I’m glad we found this one. Owners had very good communication with us though our stay and even had fresh bread sitting on the table for us.

One of the best
I use VRBO a lot, all over the country. I travel for work more than I care to admit. This trip was a vacation and the last thing I wanted was a headache and Jackie came through with flying colors. Her friendly and helpful communication was perfect, her hospitality (even stocking a few treats in the room according to our preferences) was unrivaled in my experience. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, there was virtually no noise (which is nice when you're waking up at 3am to catch the tide for some salmon fishing and you come back at 2pm and you need a nap!). We even utilized Jackie's son Anderson for all of our fish processing needs. We brought him 18 silver salmon and 8 Halibut and he did an awesome job for a fair price. The only complaint I heard from our group was regarding shower pressure. I am not that picky so I didn't really care, but one of the guys in our group would have preferred a stronger shower. Aside from that, I would absolutely recommend Jackie as a host and we will definitely be back!

Retirement Chillin' in Alaska
Jackie & Jayson were wonderful hosts who provided us a clean comfy home base while we traveled the Kenai peninsula for 2 weeks. They went out of their way to make sure we had all we needed and were always available for questions regarding their beautiful part of Alaska. Thanks Kempf family for wonderful memories of our 1st trip to Alaska!

Exceptional hospitality from Jackie and Jayson along with this super private and comfortable condo in the woods. We had excellent beds and a well equipped kitchen w a really quality gas stove which was fun since we cooked on our trip. J and J provided some really helpful tips on fun places to visit and hike and also on local restaurants. Highly recommend the Russian River hike as we saw the salmon jumping up the falls. Saw lots of great art and fishing! Really a great home away and we will stay there again when we get back to Soldotna.
