Of all the Princess Lodges we stayed in, this is the best! We found Princess Kenai to be much quieter without the crowds of people coming and going. It is set in a wonderful position high up above the river with great walks down to the river (and a phone to request a lift back up the hill!) and another woodland walk which was beautiful. The lodges are mostly set in groups of 4 and each one has its own terrace and log burning stove which was fantastic. We lit it even though it wasn't that cold. There is a comfortable lounge and an excellent terrace to sit and appreciate the wonderful views (and the cocktails!). Even the laundry has a nice terrace outside to sit and watch the world go by. There had been bears around but we were disappointed not to see any. We did the river rafting trip which was beautiful and peaceful - highly recommended. We ate at the Eagle's Crest Restaurant where we had wonderful food (recommend the scallops and the creme brulee!).

Three nights - totally comfortable, clean and relaxing! Good mattresses, loved the wood fire stove, private view off our deck - all in all very comfortable. The staff is attentive and friendly, the restaurant was good and do try the bison chili at the bar. This property is a bit smaller than the other Princess lodges we saw, but feels very homey and natural and has a great setting. This is an excellent location, close to Seward and not too far from Anchorage. Lots to do - we went riding and rafting on the Kenai River through Alaska Horsemen. The lodge overlooks the river - just beautiful. Would totally recommend a visit here.

We loved our stay here. We had a beautiful cozy cabin and really enjoyed our one night here. It was very private and had beautiful views. We got a much needed good night's rest after going, going, going with all kinds of activities for the previous 4 days. Its a perfect place to stay if your enroute between Homer and Seward or Homer and Anchorage. There is not a lot of things to do unless your fishing or rafting but perfect for some true relaxing and catching up on rest. A little expensive for our budget but worth it.

Wow! Loved it here! The rooms were cabins with 2 beds, fireplace, couch, bath and deck. Clean...always key in my book. A few nature trails nearby. River is right there. Outdoor deck at the Lodge is fantastic. Great views. Food was awesome. In the 16 day total stay (7 of which were cruise), I voted this the best all around. You are basically in the middle of nowhere, but have all the comforts. I will post pictures. As they say, it's worth a thousand words...
