About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Silver Salmon Lodge

The Silver Salmon Lodge is a High-End Denali Log Home in the heart of the Kenai Peninsula! We are tucked away in spruce and birch forest frequented by the local moose, occasional caribou, bald eagles, grouse, and more! An acre lot ensures privacy and surrounded by spruce pines all around!

Our home is tailored for the family vacation. While it's also suitable for fisherman it's designed for the family/couples that are wanting to experience all of the activities in Alaska!!

It's a 3 bedroom, 2 full baths with Jacuzzi tub. It has a high-end kitchen complete with a Sub Zero glass door refrigerator, Wolf gas range, blue pearl granite countertops, black granite sink, separate freezer for your catch, and more!

The bedrooms are furnished with (2) queen, (1) full, and (2) twin log beds. I purchased higher-end mattresses for all 5 beds for optimum comfort after long days of adventure!

The upper floor full bath is complete with a Jacuzzi tub. The lower bathroom has a shower/bath combination with granite countertop and hickory cabinet.

The LG steam washer and dryer are stacked in the main floor bathroom neatly tucked into the front corner. I chose this combo because it will quickly and efficiently wash and dry large loads of clothes reducing the number of clothes our guest need to pack and bring on their trip.

The main room contains the wood stove (wood burning not gas) and leather sofa, love seat, reclining chair, LCD HDTV, etc. We also provide an 8 seat dining table as well as kitchen island with 3 bar stools.

Also provided:

*Direct TV service with High Definition and Tivo.

*Outdoor Propane Grill

*Outdoor fire pit in the back yard for telling all those tall fish tales!

Our home is decorated in native Alaskan prints, etc.and all linens are provided as well as a stocked kitchen. We only remove perishables or opened dry foods after each guest to reduce your grocery bill and save you time. The kitchen is stocked with a large supply of glassware, silverware, cooking utensils, professional cooking pots/pans, dinnerware, etc.

The beds are the traditional Alaskan hand-hewn log locally made. Logs are from local forest beetle kill pine. Our sheets and towels are replaced every 2 years and comforters/blankets every 3-4 years. Damaged/permanently stained linens are replaced immediately. In addition, our sheets are at a minimum of 300 thread count and most 400+. Pillows are down and quality foam. The two lower bedrooms both have queen size beds (One mattress is firm and the other is plusher) and closets with plenty of room. The loft is 12' x 17' with a full and 2 twin beds. The loft bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub and granite/hickory vanity.

**I do leave some of the previous sheets, towels, comforters that are unstained in good condition for use as well.

We chose Sterling because of its central peninsula location and solitude. We are minutes from the Kenai, Kasilof, and Russian rivers and several lakes. The Russian River Campground entrance in Coopers Landing is exactly 30 miles from our driveway. We are also, centrally located on the peninsula and within easy reach of Seward and Homer. 1.25 hours from Seward and 1.20 hours from Homer.

Incredible fishing for Kings, Sockeyes, Silvers, Rainbow Trout, and Dolly Varden. You can also go clamming for razor clams nearby! Plenty of mountain biking, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, climbing, etc.

***We do provide 8 spinning rods and reels for your use while staying at our home!

***I also make myself available during the season 24/7 to help guest with accurate up to date fishing information (current fish counts, current hotspots on rivers and streams all updated within 12 hours), Popular Hikes for all exp. levels, best kayaking excursions, preferred fishing and sightseeing charters, Wildlife viewing locations, etc.

Away from the ships and schedules!!!
We had a great stay at this cabin and enjoyed getting away from the hustle and bustle of the cruises (land and sea). The fishing equipment was perfect for "flossing" and I was surprised with the tackle available for other fishing. We had our own fly rods to go up stream to Kenai Lake to fish the creeks 45 min. And, I think Kenai Fjords were only an hour and a half drive and worth doing a hike. Our host was available if needed and willing to accomadate, if needed. Surpisingly well equipped cabin. Thank you! PS This is a knit for me, but a grateful one. How often do you rent a condo and the knives couldn't even cut butter. I have to mention how sharp and useful the full set of knives were! Some of you are saying Huh?

Great cabin for our fishing trip to Alaska.
The cabin was very clean and well stocked for all our needs while fishing in Alaska. Doug was very attentive and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and the cabin was exactly as listed. The space was great for 4 of us and we will certainly consider staying there again if we come back for another fishing trip.

Incredible
I travel often with my kiddos and almost exclusively use Vrbo for our stays. I have never had a more helpful, accommodating host ever. Doug was absolutely wonderful. The cabin was in a perfect location, close to town but far enough away that I could let my kids explore without worry. The cabin Itself had every amenity imaginable from cookware, to gas grills, even hair dryers and laundry soap. Absolute perfection. 👏👏👏

Great secluded house one to Kenai river
Perfect layout of this house that accommodated us on our week stay for salmon fishing. Chest freezer was more than big enough to freeze all our fish. Had a minor issue with house but owner was on it and had it taken care of immediately. Great communication with owner and enjoyed our stay. Would absolutely rent this again in the future.

Great stay on the Kenai Peninsula
Had a couple of days to go fishing after coming off a cruise ship and needed a place to sleep 6 people in 5 beds and picked this property. Very glad I did!! This house was spotless! My wife enjoyed her time while the boys went fishing. High end kitchen appliances (stove/refrigerator) was a nice touch. Grill worked great and the owner is super friendly and supportive. I will be staying here again!

Excellent choice
Very nice cabin with plenty of room for 6 adults (3 couples). Very clean. Nice supply of towels and washcloths. Kitchen nicely equipped. All beds comfy. Located in quiet neighborhood- felt like we were in the country. Bedrooms downstairs have light blocking curtains but loft does not - bring sleep mask if light bothers you. Also, it is an open loft and morning conversations woke some in our group. Owner/host was wonderful and very helpful with any questions we had.
