Kenai Backcountry Lodge

The Kenai Backcountry Lodge is located on a glacier-carved lake, accessible only by boat, in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. The transfer location is easily reached by car, not far from Cooper Landing. This beautiful, remote Alaskan lodge is surrounded by a million acres of designated wilderness.

Originally built as a hunting lodge in the 1930s, the addition of a few modern creature comforts makes this a lodge experience that will reinvigorate your love for the solitude and peace you find in nature. The spectacular sunset views from the lodge cannot be beat! In addition, the lodge is environmentally friendly - it has a hydroelectric system which provides the electricity for the kitchen and laundry facilities.
