We ordered the Reuben sandwich and the veggie sandwich. This came with regular fries or sweet potato fries. The waitress was pleasant and checked back with us. The food came and the sandwiches were very good . The only thing I did not like was the fries, they were too greasy like they were deep fried . Otherwise everything tasted good. Had a nice conversation with a young man who was clearing the plates . Still the view was pretty and there was a lower level to see the view alone

There is a shuttle service to take guests to and from the main lodge to their rooms. Even though it was the middle of summer, we wanted to be able to have a fire in the fireplace. There was plenty of cut wood for the stove and they even provided fire starter. There was a nice trail behind the main lodge building that goes down in a bit of a slope. Have no fear; they provide walking sticks you can borrow. There are two restaurants on site, and reservations are recommended. The gift shop in front of the lodge office has lots of souvenir items.

The gear they provided kept us dry, and it was the perfect amount of time to be on the Kenai River for a novice to both learn and try to catch some fish. Tom had the patience of a saint while we learned, was an excellent teacher, and knew every inch of that river: where to go to go for a hit, what bait to use, the technique for that specific spot -- it was absolutely unreal. My husband ended up catching a nice rainbow and a Grayling. Well worth the money. Give Tom a raise!

It might be the best chai I've ever had, which says a lot. On the return trip we stopped again and I got a piece of strawberry-rhubarb pie that was delicious.

There is a lovely patio with a view of the lake; I would have sat there longer but it was chilly and the metal chairs were a bit cold on my behind.

It's iconic looking, a very large log…read morecabin styled building from the exterior, nestled back from the road, amid mountains, and next to Summit Lake. There are also cabins to rent and suites. Over the years, there have been changes, but the dining room for the most part remains the same. Big light and airy space, with massive picture windows looking out over Summit Lake, and it's a beautiful view. There's a cosy seating area right at the entrance with comfy couches to relax on. If you can get a window seat, it's well worth it. Swallows swerve by the window with mere inches to spare, catching insects on the wing, it's quite a sight while you wait for your food. It has a rustic, log cabin Alaskan feel, but the napkins are fabric, the glassware is nice, and servers are in uniform. The menu is hard backed so it feels sophisticated. I ordered coconut shrimp from the appetizers menu, which came with some kind of special dipping sauce, and I got some French fries on the side. Husband ordered the Garbage Grinder burger and a salad. The shrimp were ok, nothing special, the dipping sauce was based on orange marmalade - I didn't enjoy that at all. The fries were ok. His Garbage Grinder burger was insurmountable in the state it is presented, there is no way a normal person can fit that in their mouth. It must be 6/7 inches high. He had to remove some items to make it thin enough to get it in. Whilst I was eating, a couple were seated on the table behind us. I didn't think my chair was sticking out that far, but this woman, when being seated, kept whacking her chair into mine, forcing me to push my chair in really tightly, which I thought it was rude and inconsiderate, as a normal person would say "excuse me, could you pull your hair in a little" but she just kept battering my chair with hers until I moved. We were obviously in very close proximity, and I heard them say they were tourists, from out of state and had just got married, and would they comp the meal? This was prior to even ordering, and not because anything was wrong with the meal, just merely because they had a strong sense of rude entitlement. You got married, why are you entitled to a free dinner? It was irritating. But obviously not the fault of Summit Lake Lodge. Anyway the server promised to ask her manager. (Who refused to comp the meal, but did offer a discount) Anyway, it's a beautiful place, in a beautiful location, you're paying for an experience, not just the food - which is slightly above average. The service is impeccable, the views are stunning, and an influencer's dream. The menu used to have a lot more items on it, simpler things - I had my first ever Reuben here years ago and it was amazing, but you can't get it anymore. It seems to change annually. Anyway, it's definitely worth stopping in.

The grounds were beautifully kept and we enjoyed the views from the sunset swings. Very comfortable! We also enjoyed the nice bonfire area in the evening.

We found it online and just went with it because the prices and availability were right. Turns out I think we stayed in one of the better hotels/inns/B&B's in Cooper Landing. The quality of service and the price are just impossible to beat. Our room was one the comfiest, cleanest, and homiest room that I've ever stayed in. They have a variety of room sizes available (2 twins, queen, king, cabin, etc). From what I saw each room has a bathroom with a stand up shower. The sinks are right outside of the bathrooms in the rooms. The rooms have fans and opening windows. They also have soaps, towels, tissues, and lotion in the room. Our room had a room on each side of it and a room under us and we never hardly heard other guests. It is really quiet and peaceful. You can clean towels daily when your room is cleaned if you want or you can keep using the same one. They also clean the sheets half way through the week. The continental breakfast was nice with a lot of options (bagels, english muffins, muffins, boiled eggs, oatmeals packets, yogurt, apples, bananas, oranges, fruit cups, toast, coffee, juices, cereal, etc.). They also have movies you can borrow in the lobby. In the common rooms (1 common room for each ~3 room) there is a couch, mini fridge, TV with dvd player, plasticware and paper towels, and coffee pot. We used this area and never had issues with other guests. Outside they have a covered grilling area with grilling tools, foils, basic seasonings, tables and chairs, paper towels, and a fire pit. They have a fire every night. We used the grilling area to grill up fish that we caught. We saw other guests using the area pretty frequently as well. George and Shirley are really nice and helpful. If you need anything ask them. If they have it they will help you out. I had a few special requests and they were more than happy to work with the requests. Other items available: pay washer and dryer, parking, outdoor seating on every floor, wireless internet (no movie streaming), ice, cold drinks for purchase, ground floor rooms that are somewhat handicap accessible, microwave in the office area. If I ever come to Cooper Landing again I will stay here again. I saw nothing else in town that beats what George and Shirley have set up. We also met numerous returning guests while we were staying here.

Family sized body wash, shampoo & moisturizer instead of small, travel sized bottles. Please use and leave for the next guest. The bed was comfortable bed but smelled strongly of fabric softener. I suggested to the owner that she switch to unscented detergent & dryer sheets for sensitive guests. She'd never thought about that and said she'd change. I enjoyed looking at the tall spruce trees outside the 2nd floor window. Mountains soar from the front and back yards. It's a beautiful location. My room was decorated with a picture of the Portland (Maine) Head light made from puzzle on wall. The building has a community lounge with TV & movies. No in-room television. It felt more like a motel than a Bed and Breakfast. Less personal, less intimate. Breakfast as in a Best Western - self-serve bowls of HB eggs, bagels & packets of cream cheese, small boxes of cereals, bowl of bananas, apples; etc - a few muffins. Nothing homemade. If I'm in the area again, I'd probably stay there again. It is was a good value for the price and especially for Alaska. $85. Visa & Master Card only. No American Express.

We rented the lower-level Alder cottage and everything was in excellent shape and very clean and well organized. We had eight in our party and it really allowed us to have enough space to be comfortable. The only slight negative was the living room and one bedroom are affected by the occasional upper cottage ceiling noise but we understood that when we booked so not a complaint. We found the store counter staff to be friendly and customer focused especially when we asked for more towels and toiletries. In addition the on-site restaurant offered excellent menu items and was very convenient after a long day of sockeye fishing. The restaurant staff were also friendly and accommodating especially with our multiple item "to-go" orders. In closing we would highly recommend this location as a base camp for fishing or other adventures.

Beautiful place, nice cabins, and stunning views…read more I had my wedding here, after being assured both in person and in writing that I could mail my decorations to their P.O. box and someone would pick them up and hold them. When we arrived, the owner Dave ignored my Fiances texts for two days. Talking about how he couldn't talk because he was on a charter. When I finally got him on the phone, he claimed he never saw the packages he didn't receive them at all but in actuality had "rejected" them. I spoke directly with the postmaster, who remembered the exact boxes. They were clearly addressed to "Alaska Heavenly Lodge," and Dave had already received the delivery dates for more than half of them via text. This cost me an extra $3,000 in last-minute decorations.If you're planning a wedding here, know that charters appear to matter more to the owner than following through on promises made to wedding clients. Beautiful location, but unreliable when it counts.
