The best, most
comfortable place to stay!
We rented the entire lodge for our short 5 day trip. It
was myself & my husband, my sister-in-law & father-in-law
and I have to say, this lodge is awesome! It was very
private for all of us, and very close to where we went
fishing. The lodge was very spacious and super clean. We
really didn't need to rent the whole lodge for the just
the four of us, as I didn't realize how big it really is.
You have every amenity you need and Katie and David were
very helpful in getting our fishing trip set up, getting
all of the information we needed quickly and being there
for any questions that we had. If we get to go again, we
are definitely staying longer and doing more fishing!
Everything was great here with only one exception: at the
time we were there, no one could fish on the lake outside
the lodge. Other than that, we had a great time and I
would most definitely stay here again and refer anyone I
know to do the same! You won't regret it! - GypsySkye
Gorgeous
location, nice rooms, gracious hosts!
The owners, Dave and Katie, are very friendly and
attentive to their guests' comfort. They called us several
times before our trip to make sure we knew how to get
there and to see if we needed anything. When a highway
closure delayed our arrival by 7 hours, she made sure the
room was left open and that the lights were on for us upon
arrival. Later the next morning when she saw that we were
up she checked in with us to see if we needed anything and
invited us to make ourselves at home not only in our cabin
but also to feel free to use the other amenities at the
lodge. Our cabin, situated at the edge of a picturesque
lake inhabited by loons and other waterfowl, was clean
throughout, comfortable, quiet, and private. It was
equipped with a cozy King size bed, TV, stove, microwave,
refrigerator, sink , BBQ, pots & pans, dishes and
utensils. It was stocked with hot cocoa and oatmeal for a
quick and easy breakfast, too. A washer & dryer for
laundry was available in the back of a nearby cabin and if
you wanted, there was a freezer for storing fish and
several canoes to use on the lake. Lots of companies talk
about providing good service to their customers but Dave
and Katie follow through and provide superior service at a
reasonable price. I would highly recommend the Alaska
Serenity Lodge to anyone contemplating a stay in the
Soldotna area. - davidnbeth

Close to
everything relaxing like views, moose, and fishing, but
far away from noise, stress, and crowds. Our group of 8
rented the entire Main Lodge - it was perfect. They even
have vacuum sealer in garage for you to seal your catch
from the Kenai. Moose by the hot tub, rabbits everywhere -
beautiful, relaxing place with all the modern amenities.

The Alaska
Serenity Lodge was a perfect a weekend getaway from
Anchorage. Arriving late on a Friday night we were greeted
by dozens of bunny rabbits and the onsite handyman (who
provided free beer!!). Our first impression of the
property was the fantastic location on the lake and the
breathtaking views. We were taken directly to our private
cabin and were shown where everything was located on the
property. The cabin was new, spotless and cozy, yet large
enough to provide some privacy. All we needed to bring
with us were clothes and food, everything else was
provided! There is a hot tub, canoe, hiking, fishing,
everything we could want. Friday night Katie and her
daughters joined us for a large bonfire complete with
smores :-). This is such a peaceful area, yet not too far
from Soldotna for restaurants/nightlife. Even though Dave
has connections for guided fishing & hunting trips; we
didn't book anything this time. However, will definitely
be coming back in 2011! Anchorage, Alaska
I recently stay
at the Alaska Serenity Lodge in Soldotna AK for three
weeks. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the
views and the Hosts, Dave, Katie and their family are very
gracious and friendly. The accommodations are very nice
and Dave and Katie have added several conveniences, such
as Wi-Fi, washer/dryers, BBQ's, a hot tub, and canoe for
the lake to name a few.
I stayed in the Mallard Cabin which had a small kitchen,
living room, bed room and bathroom. It was perfectly sized
for a couple or a couple with small children. The cabin
was well equipped and comfortable.
Alaska Serenity Lodge is conveniently located five minutes
from Soldotna and the Kenai River. There was plenty to do
in my off time, I was fortunate enough to catch a 100
Halibut during my stay. I have traveled all over the world
and put Alaska Serenity Lodge at the top of my list for
all around great places. Terrebonne, Oregon
I traveled to
the Peninsula with my brothers and father for his 70th
Birthday for fishing and sightseeing. We had a wonderful
trip and the biggest reason was our stay at AK Serenity
Lodge. The Richardsons are the perfect hosts. Very
friendly and accommodating. The lodge and views are
beautiful. It had everything we needed or wanted. Very
close to Soldotna - but you feel hundreds of miles away.
We will stay there again and recommend it highly to
anyone. Valley City, N. Dakota
I really loved
my stay here at Alaska Serenity Fishing Lodge. It is
located right on Denise Lake a very short drive from
Soldotna, and near great fishing. We were very late in
checking in, and the owners stayed to welcome me. That
really shows they care about their business and they are
professional and friendly. If you were going on a fishing
expedition, this would be a very good option as it has
several amenities: fish freezers, a LARGE outdoor jacuzzi
(clean and HOT!), most cabins have kitchens, and it even
has a canoe for communal use (they have new lifejackets in
variety of sizes.) It looks like they have great options
for both small and big parties. A large group could rent a
whole house, and they have private, 2-person cabins for
those on a quiet getaway. I would definitely stay here
again. Seattle, Washington
From the first
moment that I arrived to the Serenity Lodge I knew that I
was going to have a great trip. The look was exactly what
I would picture for an Alaskan lodge. I stayed in the Back
Country Cabin which was perfect. I had the ability to cook
my own fish in the cabin and relax afterwards down by the
quite lake with a cocktail. The accommodations weren't the
only thing that impressed me, Dave and Katie were great
people. They made me feel more like a visiting friend than
a guest. All together I had an amazing time and can't wait
to plan my next trip! Anchorage, Alaska
You wanna talk
about "making memories"! My family traveled from Oregon to
stay and fish in the greatest fishery. We found this semi
secluded lodge just outside of the quaint little town of
Soldotna. The hospitality was awesome, the fishing was
great and the memories I have made with my family will
never be forgotten. I am planning my next trip with the
lodge owners, but this time instead of 4 days, we are
planning on staying two weeks. We had such a great time!
Dave and Katie Richardson are the best at what they do. If
you are into making family memories, contact them for the
stay of a lifetime! P.S. The 132 pounds of salmon fillets
made the trip even better! Medford, Oregon
My friends and
I go on a fishing trip once a year to somewhere special.
We traveled from California And Washington to Alaska.
Alaska Serenity Lodge is the complete experience in
travel, rustic in nature, sitting on a private lake, with
fly out options, and a variety of guide options. They made
sure we had everything from rental car, the best guides in
the area, and even options to pack and ship our catch
home. They sent us pre trip packages at least 4 months in
advance so we could plan on what gear to bring and what to
expect in weather, We stayed in the main lodge. It is a
combination of rustic in appearance, with all of the
modern stuff you could want, including internet, and flat
screens, to a fire pit by the lake if you just want to
unwind after a big day on the water. The lodge was clean,
the interior decorated in local decor--It was perfect in
every way. Our hosts, The Richardsons made sure we had
everything we needed, and were always available for any
special requests. We are planning our next trip to Alaska
Serenity right now-- It was awesome-- oh yea and we caught
some monster fish !! Gig Harbor, Washington
