Overview
by Phil Corless
Perfect for a large family, this riverfront lodge offers a family-friendly suite with a queen bed and four twin beds, a full kitchen and a comfortable sitting area. All rooms look out on the Kenai River, but you’ll want to get out of your room and into the river. The lodge has reserved over 400 feet of riverbank for guests to cast their lines for the plentiful salmon that swim in those waters. The lodge provides all the equipment you need, plus cleaning tables and freezer space. It’s a great way to experience Alaska fishing if a guided trip is not on your itinerary. If you don’t want to fish, then relax on the back deck or by the fire pit and watch other people reeling in the big ones.
The Kenai River Lodge is located on a beautiful stretch of the river in downtown Soldotna. You can walk to nearby restaurants and coffee shops. The Kenai River is the most popular sport fishing destination in Alaska, so you have access to any number of experienced fishing guides for a fun day of fishing. Soldotna is also the gateway to the breathtaking scenery of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. You can begin your adventure at the brand new visitors center just a mile south of the lodge. With its beautiful riverside location and private fishing experience, the Kenai River Lodge is a memorable choice for your family vacation to Soldotna.

Right on the Kenai River and a relaxing stay. Hotel was clean, quiet and comfortable. Plenty of off street parking and the staff was great to work with. There is a nice lounge upstairs that is obviously popular with the local crowd.

We moved to this hotel from another hotel a few blocks away that was terrible. The Kenai River Lodge was excellent! We had a room overlooking the Kenai River and the staff we very helpful and accommodating! Highly recommend this hotel.
