Discover Kenai: Waterfront Lodge (Sleeps 10)

Discover Kenai Waterfront Lodge is an idyllic retreat perched on a high bluff with breathtaking views of Cook Inlet, Twin Glaciers, Mt. Redoubt, Mt. Iliamna, and Mt. Spur – three majestic, active volcanoes. Immerse yourself in the beauty of Alaska's wilderness and witness the abundance of wildlife, from moose and eagles to seasonal beluga whales and the occasional bear.


Exterior:
Anticipate fresh, clean Alaska air, aroma of spruce and birch, the cry of Bald Eagles as you arrive at our Glacier View Estate. In summer months, the property is surrounded by verdant green and majestic forests. The vast sky of stars and aurora borealis provide winter splendor.


A generous deck overlooks the inlet and the stunning mountain range. We are Superhosts; a husband-and-wife team living the dream on this pristine estate. We’re on hand to support our guests as little or as much as they wish!
Our estate has a huge sloping yard with fire pit, benches, picnic tables, gardens and a nature trail that are shared spaces. The nature trail heads up the bluff toward deep forest. The edge of the yard/bluff gives way to a drop (roughly 75 feet) down to the beach. (Due to erosion, we do not permit beach access from our bluff.) However, there are other beach access points just a mile up the road. These local Kenai beaches are a magnificent place to explore and find colorful agates!

Views from the Discover Kenai Waterfront Lodge are truly phenomenal. Vast Alaska skies, vibrant sunsets, iridescent northern lights. From our yard on the bluff guests will see three notable mountains: Mount Redoubt, Mount Illiamna and Mount Spur. All three are live volcanos and small puffs of smoke are frequently visible. Twin Glaciers are just to the right of Mount Redoubt.

Guests will enjoy bird watching and witnessing the diversity of marine life. For example, in late August, thousands of Beluga whales pass across the seascape following the running salmon. Picnic on the bluff! Outdoor picnic tables are the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cappuccino while listing to songbirds and crashing rhythms of ocean waves.

Interior:
