About Debbie Whitehead

Jim and Debbie Whitehead

Debbie Whitehead purchased this cabin in 2005
Why Debbie Whitehead chose Soldotna

My husband always dreamed of going to Alaska. I planned a trip to the Kenai Peninsula in August 2004. We fell in love with Alaska and the Kenai and wanted to be able to visit often. We decided to buy some property and build a log cabin on it in 2005. We plan on retiring there someday.

What makes this cabin unique

The property is surrounded by tall trees on a very quiet road. We love sitting out by the firepit and relaxing after a fantastic day of fishing the Kenai River. We often see moose wondering thru the property. We especially enjoy the long summer nights of the midnight sun!

Krause Kids - Trip of a Lifetime

What a great place! We loved the outdoor activities of horseshoes and the firepit. Your neighbor's dog, Maddie, kept us company. She's a very nice dog. I loved the sleeping loft in the cabin, but I would say that putting the king size bed in the closet is a little strange. Good use of space, but imagine our surprise when we couldn't find the KING bed. Love the thought that you will be retiring there someday. I completely understand why. Thanks for the memories.

Great Cabin

We were ten people (including 4 teenagers) in the cabin and had a great time in Sterling. This cabin is centrally located about 10 minutes away from Soldotna (where did our grocery shopping). Seward and Homer are 1.5 hrs away. Good hiking trails about an hour away. The cabin was clean and well-maintained and our stay was very comfortable. Debbie (the owner) and Kara (the property manager) was always available to answer any questions you may have at any time.

Amazing place to stay...Very Clean!!!

I have used this website before, and had such a great experience in New York City using it, that I decided to try it again in Alaska. The cabin was just as awesome as the website!!! It was just as pictured and extremely clean. The yard and fire pit were great, and it's secluded in a nice quiet neighborhood. Debbie the owner, and Cara the care taker in Soldotna were both completely accomodating and very nice to deal with. I got quick responses in regards to any questions I had while booking, and Cara was great meeting us there to take us into the cabin. Bottomline I will absolutely use this cabin again, it was everything I was looking for and more!!

The cabin was wonderful again this year. It really feels like home. We had everything we needed for our week stay. I can't be more happy with everything right down to Kara being there for us if we needed anything special. Thanks again for the great use of your cabin. Can't wait until we come back for another visit.

Alaska family vacation

We really enjoyed this cabin. This was our groups first time to Alaska. We traveled with a family of 4 and two grandparents. The sleeping arrangements were adequate, the master bed was worn past its time and was uncomfortable to sleep on (I never heard any complaints from anyone else). However, the location of the cabin on the Kenai peninsula was great. It was right in the middle between Seward and Homer also close to Cooper's Landing where we rafted and went on a horse back ride. The cabin was well equipped, minus some board games (we helped start a collection) to keep us busy on the long days of summer. The washing machine was a nice amenity that allowed us to limit the cost of luggage and especially nice when traveling with kids. The 2 showers made getting ready for the day easy. The campfire ring and benches was a nice way to end our days. The property was very quiet and peaceful. There are nice hiking trails close by and also a safe rode to run on. The only thing to improve this cabin would to upgrade the mattress and add a hot tub. The owner and property manager were always available and able to assist with information before and during our trip. The bottom line is. . . we are counting down the days to return to Bear Paw cabin!!!
Owner's Response: Darla H,

Thank you for taking the time to complete the review. We love hearing about our guests vacation and if they have any suggestions.

We apologize for the master bed not being adequate. We will begin the process of replacing that mattress. Boardgames are a great idea! We will add more games to your collection.

It would be our pleasure to have you come back to stay with us again. We look forward to hearing from you.

Have a great year!
