An original home built in Old Town Kenai, Jetty Petersen's historic hand-hewn log home with dovetailed corners was built in 1940 and is on the Alaska historical registry.

With an original exterior and completely remodeled interior, this home has spectacular and unobstructed views. Views of the world-famous Kenai River, the Pacific Ocean’s Cook Inlet beach, and the active volcano, Mount Redoubt, can all be seen from the four large picture windows of the living area. Eagles, beluga whales, and seals as well as the many fishing fleets are a few sites seen from this charming beach home. This is a great place for dip-netting season; view the fishing taking place from the comfort of home, or take a short walk down to the mouth of the river and be in the center of it all.

Historical Old Town is a walk back in time. The Kenai Visitors Natural History Museum, open-air Saturday Market, and many places to eat are all within walking distance.

Notes for the Fishermen and Fisherwomen:
Fish carcasses are to be disposed of in the water at the beach. Once processing your catch, this must not be done inside the home; processing is to be done outside the home only. A fish-cutting table, fish tray, and running water (located outside) is provided for processing. Fish may be brought inside only for use of the chest freezer or cooking.
Indication that the processing of fish has taken place inside the home may put your deposit at risk.
