The gear they provided kept us dry, and it was the perfect amount of time to be on the Kenai River for a novice to both learn and try to catch some fish. Tom had the patience of a saint while we learned, was an excellent teacher, and knew every inch of that river: where to go to go for a hit, what bait to use, the technique for that specific spot -- it was absolutely unreal. My husband ended up catching a nice rainbow and a Grayling. Well worth the money. Give Tom a raise!

The only downside to the whole experience is the lack of Vegan friendly options at the Bistro spa restaurant. The only viable option for us was the hummus veggie tray $24 which looked like someone chopped up some vegetables and threw them on a tray. They did have a spa bowl $35 where you pick between a salmon protein or tofu. All the sauces available with the salmon are not offered (Animal products) for the Vegan option so basically you're left with a bowl of rice with no sauces. Some of our friends who eat meat have also been disappointed with the lackluster offerings and have started bringing their own food to eat in the locker room. We've traveled the world and experienced many Vegan fine dining/bistro experiences that were exquisitely prepared. It seems the Bistro spa is more of an after thought or doesn't garner as much support which stymies the chefs and kitchen staffs creativity. If the spa bistro can elevate the culinary experience with their guests this will become a draw for diners with exceptional tastes. Below are a few menu suggestions that will hopefully invigorate future creativity. https://www.loveandlemons.com/vegan-recipes/ https://www.noracooks.com/ Sincerely, Doug and Edith McKee

Alyeska Resort near Anchorage - a True Alaskan Gem ! Alyeska…read moreResort is pure decadence, nestled amongst the most beautiful towering pine trees and breathtaking mountains. From the moment I arrived, the warm and inviting ambiance made me feel completely at home. The resort offers an impressive array of amenities - selection of restaurants, helpful concierge, fitness center, indoor pool and hot tub, a luxurious spa for ultimate relaxation, and endless outdoor activities like skiing (and a gondola and chairlift are right outside the back entrance!), hiking, and scenic tram rides to showcase Alaska's natural beauty. The highlight of my stay in addition to the skiing and spa, was the Club Lounge on the 8th floor for guests staying on that level. It's such a treat - delicious food and drinks served twice a day, plus snacks available all day and evening. It truly elevated the experience plus I met such nice and interesting people! I would love to return to this gem of a resort!

**REVIEW IS FOR RESTAURANT & CAFE ONLY**…read more This is definitely what I would consider old school fine dining. The type of food is no frills, but it's still steak and seafood prepared in a more upscale manner, and the servers are dressed like it's a fine dining establishment. I'm very much into the new age dining with creative and eclectic menus. Chefs nowadays are pushing boundaries, but I can also appreciate this more classic and simple style of food. This is the type of restaurant that would be safe to take any person to. It's also a good place to stop on your drive down to Seward or Homer. They're open until 9pm, but I think the restaurant stops taking their last seating at 8:30pm so keep that in mind. They also have a cafe (cash only) on property that closed at 9pm with pizza, deli sandwiches, ice cream and a full service coffee bar. We've gotten ice cream from there, which is the same brand of ice cream served at the Ice cream shop in Girdwood & Twin Peak treats in Eklutna. The service at the restaurant is always friendly and attentive. The menu hasn't changed in the past 5 years, and I've dined there 3 times now. They do run specials ever so often. There's a full bar, which is a plus especially if you're a hotel guest. The food menu isn't very big. My favorites appetizer are coconut shrimp. The steaks are prepared to your specifications and are always cooked properly. I think the steaks are the best menu item here. The seasonal veggies change depending on availability, and all the entrees come with veggies, rice or masked potatoes. I like the stuffed halibut, but wish it came with some type of sauce on it as parts of the fish can be over cooked. It's a simple preparation that really showcases the fish so not over cooking it is crucial. We also like the salmon Mac & cheese, which comes with a very hearty portion of salmon. I've found that the seafood tends to be overcooked at some points, but not at others so it's not cooked evenly. You cannot choose your burger temperature, but the burger pattys are seasoned well. Burgers come with a choice of fries or side salad. The food here is prepared exactly as stated, and it's always a satisfying, hearty meal. It's just nothing really fancy. The desserts here are all house made, and rotate. They are truly excellent. I've had fruit pies or cheesecakes and they're delicious. Overall I think you'll have a good experience dining here as long as you're expectation are set for old school fine dining and not something more eclectic!

After easy check-in, we went to our cabin and was greeted with dirty spatula on the porch. Not a good sign, but we remained hopeful. However, as we entered the cute little cabin, we saw dead bugs on the window sill, the shower curtain was wet from the previous occupants, and the couch was stained & dirty. As two women travelling, what concerned us most was the various 'characters' walking throughout the property, who we think were either fisherman or workers from the local outfitters. Not the wholesome environment we thought Gwin's Lodge would offer. For pros, the bed was comfy and the front desk was friendly. I can see how the lodge would be good enough for some guests. Sad to say, I'm not one of them. I got through the night pretending I was camping and left early the next morning. Other than above, the roadhouse restaurant is well worth the food stop and the gift/gear shop is stocked with all you'll need for your stay in Cooper Landing.

I suggested to the owner that she switch to unscented detergent & dryer sheets for sensitive guests. She'd never thought about that and said she'd change. I enjoyed looking at the tall spruce trees outside the 2nd floor window. Mountains soar from the front and back yards. It's a beautiful location. My room was decorated with a picture of the Portland (Maine) Head light made from puzzle on wall. The building has a community lounge with TV & movies. No in-room television. It felt more like a motel than a Bed and Breakfast. Less personal, less intimate. Breakfast as in a Best Western - self-serve bowls of HB eggs, bagels & packets of cream cheese, small boxes of cereals, bowl of bananas, apples; etc - a few muffins. Nothing homemade. If I'm in the area again, I'd probably stay there again. It is was a good value for the price and especially for Alaska. $85. Visa & Master Card only. No American Express.
