Everything from the home itself to the responsiveness of the property owner was 5 stars! I would give 6 stars if able. The Silver Salmon Lodge is the perfect space for an Alaskan get away. The home was clean and cozy. It is close to anything you need in Sterling/Soldotna and a perfect midpoint if you are trying to enjoy Homer and Seward. The freezer was a big plus for keeping our fish frozen from the beginning to the end of the trip. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Alaska!

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.

Great cousin stay in Sterling

Doug’s place was very clean and exactly as described. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything our group of six needed, including making a birthday dinner while there. We’re sure Doug would have been very responsive if needed, but everything was so well communicated and outlined that there was no need for us to reach out.

The perfect Alaskan cabin!

Doug was absolutely amazing! Within minutes of booking he reached out to welcome us and to learn about our trip. We had a slight issue on our side prior to the trip and he was quick to respond, helping us to resolve it in a day. After taking time to know a little more about us he provided great suggestions for our trip. He was an incredible communicator through the entire process. Doug went above and beyond and it shows that he truly cares about peoples experience and satisfaction with his cabin.The cabin was perfect for our trip. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed to include fishing poles. My son was able to go out almost every night and enjoy the outdoors exploring new lakes to fish on. The location truly felt like a getaway, but also in a great spot to explore the surrounding area. We also had a few visitors (mama moose and babies) stroll by. Traveling (especially with kids that don't always get along) can be stressful, but having this cabin to come back to after our days out was such a blessing. I highly recommend staying here and would stay again if we visit again!

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?
