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

RecommendedWe had a great time yesterday. Our guide Jacob was awesome. We’ve lived in Alaska our whole lives but haven’t taken the opportunity to do the “tourist” stuff, until the last few years. I would recommend you guys to anyone looking for a nice river sight seeing trip. Plus the fire pit over looking the river was a beautiful view and the large jinga was fun to play
Business response:
Thank you for your excellent review. Jacob is one of our many great guides and we thank you for giving him recognition for a job done well. We look forward to seeing you again.
We so enjoyed our stay at your lodge. I was very pessimistic and very unhappy about Evan rowing us out to go fishing instead of having a motored boat however, he did so well and did such a great job keeping us safe and showing us a good time. We will definitely keep you in mind for our next trip to Alaska and will spread the word of your great efforts in showing us a good time. Tell Evan we thank him for everything. I’ve never seen a person be able to row that far and never get tired. He’s the bomb!
Business response:
Thank you for your wonderful review. Evan is one of our wonderful guides and we appreciate the kind words about him and will definitely pass along that he is the bomb. We look forward to your next visit.
The cabins are extremely nice and very clean. The owner, Bob, was very personable and friendly. The staff was very nice, friendly and welcoming. We did an all day fishing trip with guide Ben Hulbert who was fantastic. We reached our limit of fish in the first hour. I highly recommend this place. I brought my husband here for his birthday and we couldn’t have been more pleased. A++++ We will be back here for sure!

Hi Ruth, You show up on our review page but nothing is written there. Is there some concerns I can help you with? Please let me know if you need assistance. Thanks.
Four of us just returned from 4 days of fishing at Drifters....2 float trips for salmon, trout and Dolly Varden, a hike-in to the Russian River for salmon and trout; and a fly in to an alpine lake for Grayling. Everyone caught fish. All the guides were excellent and the staff at Drifters were extremely friendly and helpful. The scenery is spectacular, as is the drive from Anchorage. One of the guides, a fellow Tarheel, planted the seed when I visited the Drifters booth at the Atlanta Fly Fishing Show. Reading the literat... read more

Loved coming back here, even if it was to get our fishing gear setup! Feels like home! Next time, we will book earlier, so we don’t miss out staying here again. Awesome place!

My wife and I had a 4 night stay and had a great time. Spent two days fishing for both rainbows and Sockeye and one day hiking in the mountains. All the staff were very friendly and would take care of anything you needed. We would totally recommend Kenai River Drifters Lodge to anyone looking for a great experience in Alaska.

We stayed at Kenai River Drifters Lodge in the beginning of July 2018. My husband and I went there for fishing and had 6 days of fishing trips booked. Andy at drifters in top rate for putting together the trip of your dreams. He has many connections and will do everything in his power to connect you with the right company or in-house guide to get your wishes fulfilled.
