Can't say enough positive things. The cabins are amazing, Bob and his crew do an excellent job. The fishing guides are exceptional and put you on trophy rainbow trout or salmon every time you go. You can't get a better place to stay and fish in Alaska.

Michelle at Explore Tours booked this for us and we can't thank her enough! Bob and crew are all freindly and very helpful. We stayed in the Rhode house cabin it was very clean and well stocked, with a complete kitchen and everything you would need. We ate out but they have a great set up. The bed was up... More

We have traveled to this part of Alaska 5 times over the years to fish on the Russian River. In the past we stayed at the major hotel in the area. This time we wanted our own cabin so we stayed here and NEVER regretted it. The cabins are clean and well maintained. The beds are very comfortable. We wanted... More

Can't say enough good things about Drifters Lodge. They set us up with the absolute best. Best cabin: Russian House - beautiful craftsmanship throughout, spotlessly clean, fully equipped. They even started up the wood-fired sauna for us. A bit spendy, but sooooo worth it, we hated to leave. Best float trip - eagles, grizzly mom and cubs, salmon, scenery, great... More

This was an excellent place to host my out of town guests for a relaxed, Alaskan wedding. There were activities to do for everybody: guided fishing (27" rainbow caught & released!), scenic river floats, visits to the local museums, hiking and biking. Everyone enjoyed the sauna and the campfire at night. The backdrop of the lush Kenai Mountains was stellar.... More

We did a full day fishing trip with this outfit and couldn't have been more pleased. A major part of this was our guide, Dan. He not only got us fish (and beauties to boot) but made the novice in our group feel that she was about to challenge Issac Walton. A really great guy and guide. We don't know... More

This is a great place to spend a few days. Right by a large river, lovely natural fire for an enjoyable evening, comfy rooms, offers good help with what to see and do such as fishing. Laid back attitude but not laid back service.

I can't say enough about the amazing people at Drifters Lodge. The rooms and cabins are comfortable and clean as well as located in beautiful Cooper Landing Alaska!! These folks do it right...from the continental breakfast in the morning to the sauna to the campfire at night nothing is overlooked by Bob, Stephanie and the rest of the crew. Did... More

My wife and I did a 1/2 day guided fishing trip with Drifters Lodge on the Kenai River in early July. I booked the trip using my 2 for 1 toursaver coupon with Bob the owner and he was very friendly and informative about our trip. Our guide Dan was absolutely fantastic! He called me the day before our trip... More

We just got back from our Alaskan vacation to the Kenai Peninsula and spent 4 nights at Drifters Lodge. IT WAS PERFECT!!! From the very beginning stages of planning our trip, Bob was super helpful in every aspect. We were really excited about salmon fishing so he helped us book our full day King Salmon trip (which was TOTALLY awesome!!!).... More
