"Our road trip sleeping in the Rover took a surprising turn when we ended up here in your home, feasting like a king and his queen.  Next thing we're here at Spurr- view House eating gourmet meals in gorgeous surrounds while sharing travel stories--it doesn't get any better than that!

Spurrview House Bed and Breakfast  sits atop a knoll overlooking more than 11 acres of beautiful, gently rolling meadows of fireweed, grasses, spruce, birch, aspen and alder trees and has grand views of Mt. Spurr.  It exists for those who want to experience a truly Alaskan rural setting in a casually elegant 5,000 square-foot private residence that offers three guest suites, each unique in its own special way.  From literally every room, guests enjoy spectacular views of lush forests and the distant Alaska Range with its year-round snow covered peaks with the 11,090-foot Mt. Spurr taking center stage.  Moose and caribou graze in our meadow and bald eagles and sand hill cranes soar overhead.  The atmosphere is very quiet and private.  Yet, you are less than 10 minutes from the town of Soldotna and the world-famous Kenai River.
