I'd like to first Thank You, Jeff for being so extreamly helpful with our planning the perfect vacation! Jeff quickly answered so many of my questions, as well as give me SO many suggestions on things and places to see, eat, and were to get groceries.
My parents, husband, 2 children (11 & 8,) and I planned a once in a lifetime trip to the most beautiful place! This gorgeous mountain-view home was the perfect place for this dream vacation! PLENTY of space, full kitchen, the most comfortable beds and bedding, (though with the view from here, you won't want to miss it by sleeping.) When you do sleep there are blackout curtains/shades to acommidate the summer full day sun. So nice!
This dream home and the Cooper Landing location was the PERFECT home-base for us to day travel to many many places! We were able to explore Soldotna, Kenai, Take tunnel to Whittier, spent many days in Seward (Seward Ocean Excrusions is a MUST DO!) we did the wildlife tour and saw Sea Otters, Blad Eagles, Sea Lions, Puffin Birds, Mountain Goats and Mom & baby Humpback Whales! WOW! Captain Bixler was a wonderful informative guide! My parents also took an amazing 1/2hr helicopter & glacier landing tour with Marathon Helicopters. Took many easy hikes, Exit Glacier was BEAUTIFUL!
Though we didn't do either of these, there are many fishing and rafting companies located right in Cooper Landing. We did walk the trail to the Kenai/Russian River and many fishers catching many salmon, very neat to watch!
Deffinatly ask the locals any questions you may have, we wanted to see bears in the wild and sure enough we finally saw six on one of our last days, with the helful suggestions from staff at the yummy Sackets restaurant in Cooper Landing.
Again the Perfect location, most beautiful home to make your Alaska trip AMAZING! THANK YOU AGAIN JEFF!
