• Wash the dishes and place used linens at the end of the bed at the end of your stay.

• Place all trash in the provided receptacles.

• Laundry facilities are provided but you must provide your own laundry soap, fabric

Water at the Kenai River House is filtered and treated with a softening process and is safe to drink however water on the Kenai Penisula is very hard and at times may contain sediment or a sulfur smell.  Bottled water is recommended for drinking.

• Enjoy the fireplace and fire pit responsibly. Clean them out before you leave and

place cold ashes in the ash can provided. Firewood can be purchased at most

grocery stores in the area.

• Please don’t place anything other than toilet paper into the toilets. The Kenai River

House is on a septic system and in our cooler environment items such as paper

towels, napkins or other such items will not break down and will clog the drain.

• All items stored in the refrigerator or freezer must be removed at the end of your

stay. No items will be retained past your stay.

• Please don’t bring fish into the house unless it is to be cooked or otherwise

consumed. (There is a freezer for storage in the basement to store fish). There are

numerous fish processing services available in Soldotna that will pack and ship fish.

• Be mindful of wildlife. The Kenai Peninsula is home to an abundance of wild

animals. Frequent visitors to Kenai River House include Moose, Black and Brown

Bears, Lynx, Foxes, Ermine and many others. Bears are rarely a problem but

keeping trash in cans and fish carcasses off the premises will greatly reduce bear

encounters. See the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game website for more information on

recreation in bear country.

• You have access to the Kenai River right in the backyard. Please keep the river

bank clear of all debris and trash. All fish carcasses and guts should be returned to

the river when cleaning fish. This supports the natural ecosystem and maintains a

healthy river for our posterity.

• Abide by all local, state and federal regulations while staying at the Kenai River

House.

help our guests enjoy their stay. It is our intent to preserve and improve this historic

location for future visitors
