Location

One of the most amazing things about Wildman Getaway is its location! It is close to so much, yet still private. Tired of too many people? We can work with that. Do not want to be too far from civilization? We accommodate that too.

Wildman Getaway has a central location on the Kenai Peninsula between Soldotna/Kenai, AK (39 miles) with the Kenai River (best salmon fishing river in the world) on the north and Homer, AK (37 miles and best Halibut fishing in the world) on the south.

Soldotna and the Kenai River are around 147 miles from Anchorage (about 2 hours and 48 minutes by car or 20 minutes by commercial commuter plane).

Ninilchik (Russian: Нинильчик) encompasses the beaches and bluffs of Ninilchik State Recreation Area and Deep Creek State Recreation Area. Ninilchik is also the primary access east to the Caribou Hills. During the summer, a public boat harbor at the mouth of the Ninilchik River provides tidal access to Cook Inlet. It becomes one of the busiest hubs of activity on the Kenai Peninsula during the river and commercial fishing seasons with lots of fishing charter companies and opportunities. Ninilchik has a fascinating history, which you can read about here.

Ninilchik is a great gateway to all of the recreational opportunities and natural beauty of the southern Kenai Peninsula. There is plenty to love here starting with the stunning scenery and old village charm of one of the Kenai Peninsula’s oldest communities.

Pacific razor clams are popular for digging on the beaches near Ninilchik, when the tides are low enough. Clammers should check regulations before digging.

Ninilchik is also the host community for the annual Kenai Peninsula Fair and the annual Salmonfest Alaska (formerly Salmonstock) Music Festival.
