Welcome to Alaska with Doc and Dar, your hosts Doc and Doris Palancia, two kids from Brooklyn NY, and Bayonne NJ who love the smell of wood smoke!
We are located in the center most town on the Kenai peninsula,Soldotna, Russian for “Soldier” so named because it was settled by returning WWII G I’s on land set aside in 1947 by the U. S Government for homesteading.

We offer 2 loft style cabins, which are only a 50 yard walk to the river. Each cabin sleeps 4 comfortably or 6, if you know each other real well!
They each are equiped with a full kitchen and bath, cable TV,and Wi-Fi, an outside picnic table and BBQ grill. There is also a dedicated freezer for each cabin to store your catch as well as a smokehouse on site. And YES, we ARE pet friendly.
