About this business

Drifters Lodge is built in the heart of Cooper Landing, Alaska right on the banks of the world-famous Kenai River.

I enjoyed a 1 week stay in paradise. The photos I viewed prior to my arrival don't come close to capturing the beauty of the lodge, mountains that surround you, and the river. The green color of the Kenai river can be described as the color of an oxidized copper roof, a water color I've never seen. The wildlife is abundant and hiking trails are awesome but the highlight was learning to fly fi sh. My first time and I'm grateful I had a patient guide. He was a great teacher and sure enough I caught a fish in the first 15 minut... read more

On a whim we booked a night with Drifters. Alex and the rest of the gang were awesome! Super friendly, clean, fresh linens, refrigerator for beer. Big campfire every night was a hit! Also the waterfront sauna was a welcome sight after a day of rowing.

Our team booked a last minute stay at Drifter's and were thrilled by the service and friendliness of the staff. Anything we needed was addressed immediately - with a warm smile on their faces. We can't wait to come visit again. Thank you so much for everything! You went above and beyond to be as helpful as possible and we all noticed.

The neat thing about Drifters Lodge, is that it is centrally located, so you dont have to pack and unpack all the time./ Driving distance to whittier Tunner, or Seward, Sea life center, homer, nanilchick. besides the great guides, fishing, and rafting. There are also nearby trails, to walk or bike. one couple I know was married at the lodge and another at the walk to the falls. Accomodations, are 5 star...and the breakfast room is great. *****
