This is the place to stay in Kenai or Soldotna, Alaska. I'm a CEO of a national medical company and I have a client in the Kenai area. I've stayed at other places but the Kenai River Raven is the best place to stay. It's a bed and breakfast, rather than a hotel. Most of their clients are anglers who... More

I called back in January to reserve a room. I was told there was a deluxe room with a nice view and a Jacuzzi for 2. I booked that room over the phone and a deposit was paid. I never received any kind of confirmation, so I emailed and called every few months to confirm the reservation. (Mid-July is very... More

This lodge is absolutely beautiful. It is run as a business though, losing some of the personal nature of B&B's. But the hosts were very willing to assist; kitchen was off limits. Our bed, a Temperapedic, was awesome! And the jacuzzi tub was a welcome treat. The rooms, lodge and furnishings were really nice, new, Alaskan. A bit high on... More

We were immediately greeted and made to feel at home. The view of the Kenai river from our room was fabulous. The owners were very helpful in recommending sights and things to do.

We had such a wonderful stay at the River Raven. The inn is beautiful and exceptionally clean. The service was just right. Dick, the owner, is pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. You can't go wrong staying at the Raven Inn!

My son and I stayed at the River Raven for six nights. Our trip was taken on the spur of the moment and we had little time to research what we would do when we got there. All that we knew was that we wanted to fish and see wildlife. The owners, Dick and Stevie Erkeneff, have lived there year... More

We stayed at the River Raven once before, and had a great experience. When I return to a place I really enjoyed, I worry if it will live up to my memories. No need to worry when it comes to the Kenai River Raven. We were welcomed back like returning family. Stevie and Dick are such warm loving people, that... More

I'm writing a fair review for this accommodation. While this place is convenient and situated along the Kenai river, there are some negatives associated with this establishment. I believe the owners are well-meaning, however, they are disorganized. They do not handle a full load with ease and grace. As noted previously, the window treatments do not at all block out... More
