Item Description

Escape the Alaska for a 2-night stay in a fishing lodge on the Kenai Peninsula. Located about a two-hour drive South of Anchorage, this rustic cabin is close to two major fishing rivers. It is 1mi south of the Kasilof River and 15 mi South of the Kenai River. It is also just across the road from Johnson Lake State Park.
The first 30 miles of the drive is along beautiful Turnigan Arm with spectacular views across the water on the west and rock walls smattered with mountain goats on the east.
This woodsy cabin has a small sitting area and efficiency kitchen which is stocked with the basic appliances and dishes need to make simple meals. It has an indoor bathroom with a shower and either a king size or two twin beds in the sleeping loft. There is a grill available as well as laundry facilities and a fire pit.
About 15 miles south of the cabin is NINICHIK. This is a picturesque little Russian community. As you approach town watch for a small sign on the Right marking the turn to the Orthodox Church and cemetery. It is just a couple of blocks up the hill. It is a pretty building and area, with a great view across Cook Inlet of the Alaska Range.
Another 50 miles takes you to the ‘End of the Road” -- HOMER, Alaska. Be sure to allow at least 1 full day to visit Homer. It is a busy artist community with a beautiful vies across the bay, so go on a clear day. There is also a nice local museum, a good bakery, and many eagles around the beach. One of my favorite stops is Mrs. Jones hair comb museum. (but she is kind of hard to find and only open by appointment.)
On the drive to Homer you go through the community of AnchorPoint.
