Summit Lake Lodge

Perfect location to enjoy the Kenai Peninsula. Lovely guest cabins. We enjoyed a lake view king cabin. It was gorgeous to wake up to that view every day. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. (Lyndsey is the hardest working innkeeper besides being just a lovely person.) We were very pleased with the daily breakfasts, especially nice to have an espresso bar/ice cream store next door. We had two dinners too that we enjoyed. A special treat was being there for their annual wine dinner. Superb event!

Staff and property excellent

Great hotel!

Great place

This lodge was a perfect location for everything we planned to do while on the Kenai Peninsula. It had amazing lake and mountain views and was very well maintained and clean. The restaurant had great food and service. I highly recommend this property.

Excellent stay! Great room and spacious. Very pleasant staff. Great place to just relax. Pretty hiking around the lake. Very good food.

Rooms were super comfortable and warm, breakfast was delicious

My husband and I spent four restful nights here. It was the perfect location for us to access our boat tour from Whittier, visit Seward and drive as far as Soldotna on the Sterling Highway as he fished the Kenai. This is an extremely well-run, family-owned property with amenities that have become rare elsewhere -- daily maid service, excellent linens, friendly but unobtrusive service, a really good onsite restaurant for dinner, and a complimentary breakfast that is a true, made-to-order breakfast with full sit-down service, not a continental buffet. We stayed in a lakeside cabin with the most beautiful view (even on rainy days) that we've ever had -- and we have stayed in a lot of places with lovely views. Seeing a bald eagle, hearing the loons from our porch and watching ducks added to the experience. I would caution that the other accommodations here may have some traffic noise, as the property is on the highway, but our lakeside area was blissfully quiet. We would highly recommend.

From the moment we booked our trip to Alaska, the staff at Summit Lake Lodge were wonderful! We stayed at Summit Lake for 7 nights in a lake-front cabin and it was a perfect getaway. Lyndsey helped with our reservation and assisted us with booking all of our excursions while in Alaska. I highly recommend the fly-out salmon fishing and bear viewing! We also really enjoyed the Kenai river float trip and train to Spencer Glacier. The lake front cabin was beautiful, spacious and comfortable for our family of 3. The covered porch was perfect, as we unfortunately had a lot of rain during our trip. We were able to enjoy the gorgeous view without getting wet. The cabin had everything we needed, from a mini fridge and coffee maker to a satellite TV (which we rarely watched). We especially liked the separate shower and toilet rooms. All of our breakfasts at the lodge (included with our stay) were delicious and the staff at the restaurant were super-friendly. We ate dinner at the lodge a few nights which was also delicious! (You MUST try the Halibut and homemade pies!!). We also tried the pizzas and ice cream at the parlor and both were great. During our stay Lyndsey, Marty and June were always available and ready to answer any questions we had. They gave us great suggestions for hikes, restaurants, fish processing, and even stored the 32lbs of salmon we caught in their freezer and helped us pack it up for the airport. It's obvious that they truly love their family-run lodge and making their guests feel at -home. We are so happy that we chose Summit Lake lodge as our "home base" for exploring the Kenai region. It was conveniently located to explore the surrounding area yet secluded enough to provide the peace and quiet we wanted when returning each evening. I highly recommend staying there for as many nights as you can!!
