My work buddy and I did a scouting trip for our Las Vegas, NV fishing group. Kenai River Lodge called me to make sure we were okay and not lost. They kept the lodge open for out late arrival. They have waders, boots, vacuum sealers, freezers and wven a bar on site! Will definitely stay here again!

Nice stay
There is no AC at this hotel so trying to sleep with the windows open can sometimes be difficult. There is a lounge on property so it gets loud at night. The staff is great and do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable.

Great Location
Very clean and comfortable, great view of the river. We were able to walk across it and on a trail. Many people were fishing on both sides of the river. On the hotel's side, it's closed off and only open to guests, so that was nice.

Amazing location
Reception is open later than 9pm. The women who checked me was excellent. The location of this Lodge is amazing. Easy access to the river even if you are not fishing. The flow of the water was just so relaxing. We only had one night but again it was perfect and the price was right.
