Serene, quiet. Would visit again. Staff were friendly, helpful. Room could've been cleaned while we were out. On one hand, they may have assumed that since we didn't need service the day prior we wouldn't the next day. On the other hand, we could've requested too or brought to their attention lack of room service. Otherwise, totally recommend.

Hands down favorite lodge to stay at. Cabins are very nice with a wood burning stove (plenty of wood provided), a porch, and amazing views of the mountain. Restaurant and bar on-site have great food. Path down to the Kenai River. Not far from Kenai National Wildlife Refuge for bear viewing and hiking trails. This was my second stay and it will be an annual trip from Fairbanks for me.

Stayed only one night. The Lodge was nice and clean. The property is well maintained which is not so common in Alaska. The cabin rooms were spacious. But the price was on the high side. Would book somewhere else more affordable if to return for a longer stay.

I went to check in and I was asked to check back in after 3:30 PM. When I came back to check in I stood waiting patiently for my turn. Another couple rushed up to the counter ahead of me and yet again I waited. Not a very efficient check in.

The property was just gorgeous. Nestled next to a river and the views were breathtaking. Just an awesome place to spend a night. We might just go back to send a few more days before another Alaskan cruise.

Rooms are rustic and quaint, but not quiet. Could hear conversations and all the sounds from next door as if they were above us. The surrounding area is beautiful. The food is good, but expensive. Staff was mostly kind- a few seemed ready for the tourist season to be over. Would try another Princess property.

Very peaceful lodge with onsite dining and cabin like rooms (4 to a building) in the area we were assigned. Each cabin had its own private deck with chairs. Loved the wood burning fireplace and the easy access to short nature trails to take in the Kenai river. Didn’t realize this was part of Princess cruises, but you could see cruise guests getting dropped off. Extremely well run lodge.

I stayed in my different accommodations during my trip. This one was my favorite by far. The room was extremely large, beautiful and very clean. This is a perfect place to rest, relax and totally take it all in. I will definitely book a longer stay the next time I visit Alaska.
