    BECAUSE OF SHORT WORK SEASONS:

    PLEASE ONLY INQUIRE IF YOUR AVAILABLE TO WORK FROM APPROXIMATELY THE 5th OF MAY TO THE END OF SEPTEMBER . Thank you🙂

    Established in 1952 by Pat and Helen.
    The historic lodge is located in the middle of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, known as Alaska's Playground and is currently owned by Keith.
    We have lodging, a full-service bar and restaurant, a tackle and souvenir shop, and an on-site liquor store.

    The lodge is the closest restaurant and lodging to the confluence of two world-class salmon streams; the Kenai River and the Russian River. We are a favorite among fishers that frequent these waters.

    We are nestled at the base of the majestic Kenai Mountains. Our location is just across the street from the Kenai River in the Chugach National Forest, bordering the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
