The photos were accurate, but the actual cabin was much better than I expected. I loved being greeted by the Antelope? The key lock on the door is great - no need to worry about forgetting or losing a key. The water pressure was fantastic. I enjoyed sitting on the front deck, but the chair was too low/I am too short to see anything while sitting. However, I did see two bald eagles and a golden eagle. From the kitchen window I saw a female moose one day and a young bull moose the next. It was so quiet and peaceful (except for occasional screams from the Seagulls :) In fact, when I returned home, I was so offended by how loud the cicadas and crickets are here. I miss the peaceful Alaskan Woods. It was very easy to access help either via phone or email. Having wifi was very beneficial. The beds were comfortable. The windows opened easily to provide a breeze as needed.

The Lower Kenai Lodge was a great place for my dad and I to stay at. Very quiet and peaceful, far enough away from everything that you don’t hear the town by close enough if you need something. I would highly recommend this especially if you’re looking for a nice place to stay and sleep after fishing all day!
