"The Kenai Riverfront Resort Family"

Our family welcomes you to this beautiful place we call home. We're a long-time Alaskan family with four children all born here. We're always on the go, but we also know how to enjoy a good campfire and we all rank fishing the Kenai high on our priority list (a close second is a warm beach at our sister state to the south come January! ;)  So scroll down to meet the family, watch a video, and get ready for the Alaska of Your Dreams!

Jim & Cindy Nelson on the Kenai River, Kenai Riverfront Alaska

We spent most of our college years working in Alaska's visitor industry, from hotels & airlines, to tour companies & cruise ships, and we always dreamed of having our own place to welcome Alaska's visitors--dreams do come true now and then. At Kenai Riverfront Resort, we encourage a healthy, family-oriented, non-smoking environment and urge everyone to respect the natural resources of this river that we love so much. 

Having lived in Japan for two years, as well as Switzerland and Germany, our whole family speaks conversational Japanese & German. We welcome international travelers and understand their unique needs and hopes for a great Alaska experience.  We even have an authentic Finnish Sauna for our Suomalaisen Ystävän too!

Come stay with us on the banks of the beautiful Kenai River in Soldotna, Alaska and fully experience the real Alaska!
