Wonderful Place To Stay
This is a incredible place to stay, the hospitality, cleanliness, decor, and convienance is only surpassed by the cooked to order breakfast. If you need a place to stay you won't find better. So comfortable and cozy.

Southern Bluff B&B was a much needed break from staying in hotels. Shirley was a wonderful hostess! She texted soon after we made the reservation and kept in communication until we arrived. Shirley offered a delicious made to order breakfast and would make accommodations for allergies if needed. It was a relaxed, homey atmosphere. The bed was comfortable, towels were soft and fluffy, and water pressure in the shower was great! The best part of the stay was when Shirley recommended a Kenai Fjord Glacier and Wildlife Cruise out of Seward. It was an amazing experience and we would not have thought to do it, much less actually booked it without Shirley's advice! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our conversation with Shirley!

Best experience and best value overall
10/10 would recommend!!! Definitely stay here. Best value for the price paid on our entire trip. It was more like an Airbnb as we had the whole lower level of her house to ourselves. She let us do laundry there as well for no charge. Check in was flexible. The host was very friendly yet also gave us privacy. She does provide breakfast as a legitimate B&B and it exceeded expectations by far. She let us pick the time for her to have it ready at. Her and her husband are great and I can’t say enough good things about them!

Fantastic place to rest your head
Super friendly and cozy experience. The rooms are spacious, bed is super comfy, shower has great water pressure. Everything is immaculate. I felt right at home and very at ease. Breakfast is made to order and very hearty. A great way to start a beautiful day in Alaska. I can't wait to return!

A fantastic place to stay! The hosts were friendly and welcoming, and it soon felt like a home away from home. Unfortunately I wasn't able to partake in the beautiful cooked breakfast that Shirley makes (a 4:30am fishing trip took care of that), but instead she packed us up with a takeaway breakfast which was hugely appreciated!!! Thanks again guys - I'll be back next time I'm in town!

B&B in the heart of the Kenai
My Son and I recently used the B&B as layover as we worked our way through the mountains fishing and hiking. Their facility was very clean and comfortable. Also helped us out with a small rental car issue by providing some supplies. Such wonderful people!

Clean, comfortable B&B close to excellent fishing
Southern Bluff B&B was an excellent place to stay. The room was extremely clean and the bed was super comfortable. You have to share a bathroom, but it is not a problem because there is only one other room. Shirley and John, the owners, really thought out everything. From the washer and dryer available to the fresh coffee right outside your room in the morning. There is no Satalite TV, but John was more than willing to lend us one of his hundreds of movies. Shirley cooked a delicious, and filling breakfast based on the orders she took from us the night before. The owners are very laid back and have excellent suggestions on stuff to see. Southern Bluff B&B is just on the outskirts of Soldatna, and is close to lots of fishing hot spots and restaurants. We will definatly stay here again, hopefully soon!

What a enjoyable staying even one night but good things starts on the begining. This Southern Bluff BB is absolutelly clean and if you wanna candy with hot coffee or tea, enjoy them! Very clean, beautifull, silent home and excellent bed so everything to enjoy an Alaskian night. Very delicious breakfast and during it is unforgetable moments to talk with Ms Shirley and husband John. This BB is well located, easy to find and the travel around it is unforgetable with several and several fantastic views. I do recomend Southern Bluff B B to my fiends and every potencial customers i assure to them, it will be worth and as my plan ia to stay 3 weeks next 2020&2021 i will be back so ate la vista !!!
