Gwin's Lodge

Gwin's Lodge Review

Gwin's is the epicenter of much of the activity on the peninsula. This roadside establishment is a one-stop shop for visitors and locals alike, providing food, lodging, and fishing tackle around the clock in summer. The travel agency can book fishing, hiking, rafting, and other adventure travel anywhere on the peninsula. The lodge is the fishing headquarters of prospective anglers during the annual salmon runs on the nearby Russian and Kenai rivers. Accommodations vary in configuration from standard log cabins with beds and private baths ($) to deluxe chalets with lofts, vaulted ceilings, and full kitchens ($$$$). The restaurant ($$) serves a full menu of fresh fish when available, sandwiches, steaks, and hearty breakfasts. A giant salmon bake was constructed in 2008, serving grilled salmon and live music against the backdrop of the steep mountains.
