There was also a fire pit and marshmallows are provided. It is rustic to some extent, but not childhood sleepaway camp rustic. There are three bedrooms and two baths downstairs and two bedrooms and two bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. Each room slept between 3 and 4.

We had an excellent day fishing with James from Drifters Lodge! He definitely knew what he was doing when it came to catching fish. Not only was he thorough in his instructions but patient and fun! Good taste in music and movies �

We did a 1/2 day drift fishing trip on the Upper Kenai and it was a fantastic experience. We had a large party of 10, so we had three boats and guides. They worked together to make the pre and post experience smooth. The guides themselves were fantastic! We stayed at the Russian House and it was well worth the splurge! Beautiful place! 

Business response:

Thank you for your great review. Our guides go above and beyond to make sure their clients receive an exceptional experience with us. The Russian house is very nice and the exact place for a large party of clients such as yours. We look forward to your next stay.
