Tl;dr - adorable, but some sanitary issues…read more These cabins are an absolutely gorgeous and well-priced getaway. The king bed was lovely, and with a microwave AND minifridge, you've got all you need for a great home base to explore Seward from. Even on a drizzly trip, the rain on the wooden roof is exceptionally romantic to just stay in and enjoy. Still, with the current state of the world, it was hard to not have some concerns. We weren't provided any soap to wash our hands with, which is fine because I carry hand sanitizer, but did raise a bit of a question mark about their procedures for mid-pandemic. There were also quite a few errant hairs left behind in the shower from the previous occupants (both pink and curly black; my partner and I are blondes) which worried me in terms of how much deep cleaning was getting done between people checking out and checking in. We ended up leaving earlier than planned due to this concern. I'd definitely come back and stay again, but when it's a little safer to do so. I didn't see any evidence that they were prioritizing health & safety of their customers over profits, and I know there are some other places in state that are spacing out rentals so there's at least a day between. I'll probably stick to those for now.

The sunrise over the peaks was a daily highlight, and the tranquil snow capped mountains nearby provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation and reflection. Facilities: The campgrounds facilities include a water station and 30/20/15 Amp electricity. Our site was well maintained, with generous space, a sturdy picnic table, and a well-placed fire pit. There are no restrooms or dump stations at the campground but the city offers a free dump station. Activities: Theres something for everyone in the area. We enjoyed miles of well-marked hiking trails that cater to all skill levels, and the fishing was fantastic with Bear Creek Salmon run just a short walk from the campground.

Service: The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, providing great recommendations for local activities and ensuring our stay was flawless. Their dedication to maintaining the campgrounds high standards was evident throughout our visit.

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.

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.

For the price, we were impressed with the size and comfort! There are kid and adult patio chairs, balls, a grill, and fun nick-nacks outside (it was raining so we didn't get get to enjoy them like I wished we could have).

The beds were comfortable, the heaters kept the temp nice at night, the showers were very hot which was great after being in the river all day. When not fishing we basically would just relax on the porch of our cabin. In provided chairs, or just hang out at the fire pit. The firepit area was very clean and they have wood there for making the fire. The fish cleaning area is nice, but the real hookup is to just pay them to clean, pack and freeze all your fish. They have commercial equipment for processing the fish. Most of the fishing when we were there was about 30 minutes north to coopers landing or 40 min south to the Kasilof river. But if you go when the reds are running up the kenai, you could walk about 5 minutes right down to the water and fish: The lodge has pretty much anything you need within 15 min drive. Some things are just a couple minutes away, but 15 and you could get about anything you're looking for. Steve the owner, was great and had a ton of local knowledge on where to fish each day. He also knew various guides and could help lining them up. We had a great time! If your looking for the Ritz Carlton then probably not your speed, but if your looking for a cozy cabin to clean up in and sleep and be close to the fish, this is a great spot.

TL;DR BEWARE! Stay away from Alaska Redfish Lodge and do not…read moreconduct any business with the owner Steven F Stuber. The place is messy, unorganized. The lodge is quite a 10 min walk to the river. The common area had flies and smelled like dead fish. Steven is an emotionally unstable person ready to snap at any moment. Full Story: We booked two nights stay for 2 adults, 2 kids, and 1 infant on Friday evening to go to Sterling for some fishing on a weekend Saturday-Monday. Our full booking price was about $320 ($129 per night plus fees) which we thought was odd as the Airbnb calendar showed $89. Anyway, we booked it and got all the confirmation information. Approximately at 1 AM we get an email from Steven the owner saying he is fully booked and unable to honor the reservation. We called Steven in the morning to clear things up as the reservation was already confirmed. He started blaming Airbnb for not honoring the blocked out dates saying this happens once in a while and there is no way he can give us a cabin on these dates and that he didn't want to lose his "Super host" status on Airbnb. We asked to cancel, he convinced us to continue with the reservation and that we would get a good deal. I had a bad feeling about it but felt bad for him and agreed to his offer. We moved the dates from Saturday to Sunday-Tuesday. It was inconvenient for us as kids are in school but we said we can manage and adjust our schedule. He asked us to move our date to just one night and refund the difference, in his system he would block out two nights for us. Our new total was going to be $94 for two nights. Not bad. He was very friendly on the phone and kept reiterating that he is willing to go far and beyond to make us whole. He also stated that he usually does not let five people stay and is willing to make an exception for us. This was very odd as we put five people in AirBnB and did not conceal the baby. I told him I am planning to do a lot of fishing. He said he will give me all the gear and even upgrade us to a bigger cabin that has a full-size refrigerator, and a loft area. We were excited! We get there on Sunday at 3:50 PM, check-in was at 3. The lovely cleaning lady which is potentially his wife, not sure, asked us if we were checking in. She said that we are staying in cabin 7 and that it was not ready for us. We thought that was odd as I expected that Steven would make our experience great as he promised. We said we can wait 30 minutes for the room to be cleaned up. I called Steven just in case he had told me that we are staying in cabin 8 and that he would make it to the property at ~5:30. We go to the cabin the lady said the keys were inside, I spend five minutes looking for the key, could not find it. She said she can bring it to us and she did. I started looking for the wifi password, could not find it anywhere on the wall. The lady did not know the password. I had to text Steven and he gave it to me over text. I thought it was odd that it's not printed in most normal places. There was no welcome package or welcome tour at all. Oh well. The wifi did not work inside cabin 8 but did barely work right outside. The TV did not have Netflix or cable even though it was connected. The knives in the kitchen were dirty, otherwise, the room was decent. It was NOT the room that Steven had promised us that had a loft with a full-size fridge, but I did not bother to call him as he seemed to be in a bad mood. We went to the playground, it had a very strong smell of pigsty as there was one behind it, the common area had a full trashcan of beercans and the fire pit was all covered in flies. It was pretty disgusting. I did a little fishing and we came back. I made a mental note that the experience so far was a bit odd. No welcoming, confusion with the keys, no wifi password printed, no TV and smelly, and dirty common area. Steven had returned at this point but did not bother to greet us. We did not feel welcome at all. I asked the lady if she can call Steven over as I had questions around processing my fish. She said he was upstairs but did not want to call him over. I thought it was odd, she instructed us to call him on his cell instead. He came out, I had asked him to use the coolers as he promised he said I could. He had combative body language but was answering all my questions. He told me to process the fish and leave it on the cooler pointing to it. He had instructed me to write my name on it and leave the tag. I did, he IMMEDIATELY said "What are you doing?!" is this your cooler?! I said it's empty and you pointed to it, he goes oh ok I wanted to make sure it was not someone else's.
