Gwin's Lodge

The historic Gwin's Lodge is located in the town of Cooper Landing in the Kenai Peninsula in south central Alaska, which is known as "Alaska's playground."  We are located at milepost 52 on the Sterling Highway (known as "Alaska's Scenic Byway") and the closest lodging near the confluence of two world-class salmon streams - the Kenai River and the Russian River.  This is the most productive Sockeye Salmon sport-fishery on Earth.  Gwin's Lodge is also near some of the finest road accessible Rainbow Trout fishery in Alaska.  There is really no better place anywhere for world-class fishing.  This combined with the breathtaking surroundings makes Cooper Landing a sportsman's paradise and an outdoors person's perfect vacation getaway.

Gwin's Lodge has 12 cabins that can each accommodate 4 to to 6 guests and two cottage houses that can each accommodate up to 8 guests. Please go to the Lodging link above for more information. Reserve your cabin or cottage house and book your excursions, charters, and guided tours by calling 907.595.1266 or email office@gwinslodge.com.

Gwin's Lodge first opened in January 1952 before Alaska was even a state. Gwin's Lodge has been an iconic landmark known for home cooking and comfortable lodging. We are nestled at the base of the majestic Kenai Mountains in the Chugach National Forest, and across from the turquoise waters of the Kenai River between the Russian River and Cooper Creek (known for gold panning). Our central location (about 100 miles from Anchorage, 50 miles from Seward, and 50 miles from Kenai) makes all indoor and outdoor recreational activities throughout the Kenai Peninsula easily accessible to our guests.  Whether it's fishing, viewing wildlife, sightseeing, rafting, kayaking, horseback riding, hiking, or panning for gold, make Gwin's Lodge your home base for vacation fun!
