Great cabins!! I've stayed in both and they are great!! April is great to work with. The cabins…read moreare nicely outfitted. One cabin has a loft with 3 or 4 beds and a queen bedroom on the main floor. The other cabin has 2 bedrooms with 2 beds in each. Perfect for the group that comes to go fishing!!

I'm not sure why the other Yelp entry for April's Cozy Cabins says they're closed because I stayed…read morein the lake cabin this weekend. They're definitely open for business. It's not exactly a wilderness location -- the cabins are right off the road with neighbors close by but it's such a pretty spot right on the lake. The kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need to prepare and serve meals. There's a big grill on the deck and a chest freezer out back to store all your salmon in. Alas, I went float tube fishing for trout with a large group of ladies and all we caught was one trout so the freezer was empty for my two-night stay. The lake cabin has a king-sized bed downstairs and three twins up in the loft. It was clean and conveniently located just outside Soldotna.

Yay!

So this is an ode to her. We called this place the T Bar and it sat right off the highway, the perfect place to run-in and have a shot of tequila before piling back into a Honda Civic Hatchback packed with 10 people and heading grocery shopping in civilization (read: Fred Meyers in Soldotna, Alaska). At least that's what my friend used to do. :) I do remember this was also the place to go to on Monday nights, when the backyard of a bar (and how many bars actually have a backyard?) had a free taco spread that fed all us fish-slime-maggots from the lower 48. There's a hat collection there that could smoke LIDS under the table, there were baseball caps EVERYWHERE. It was freaky - enough so for me to donate mine at the end of the summer. P.S. Okay - I lied. I actually stopped by for a shot of something circa 1998 when I actually lived in AK full time and my rooommate's timing belt snapped on a dirt road and we were stuck in Kasilof.

Lots of parking. We stayed in a dog friendly room, on the end. They provided a dog dish and some dog treats! There are some trails behind the hotel that I was able to walk my dog down, he seemed to enjoy them. They offer a "continental" breakfast... it was some cereal and coffee/juice. But, I'm not complaining, I enjoyed the rare lucky charms indulging!

So much quieter than the first place even though it's literally across the street from the airport. Very clean, staff is beyond friendly. The second time I didn't even think about staying elsewhere. Comfy beds, great location, and again, quiet! For me, it's like a home away from home!

What a great Alaskan business! It's a no frills bit solid…read more And I mean SOLID! Hotel. It seems austere from the outside and that's the motive. Nothing fancy. Only an Alaskan hotel would have an arctic entry to fit a school bus full of kids. Then the elevator. Then the cozy front desk tucked in the back away from the front door. What a great concept born from experience. Though we didn't use it. Kitchenette. Range refridge microwave sink. Plates and silverware. Etc.... Warm room. The bathroom kept up with the motife. Note room. Not less. Enough space for two people and all your elbows without bumping into each other. Older style. But very very clean. Nothing at all was worn or used looking. Quiet quiet quiet hotel. At heat for us. Dogs welcome!! Pool and jacuzzi Ohh!! BONUS Three bears grocery in the same commercial lot with a McD's and shell gas!

Crescent Lake was so so gorgeous and had plenty of fish for us to catch. Our guide Luke was 10/10. Also, there was another group next to us with Mike/Badger as their guide, and he was 10/10 as well. Both guides gave us plenty of tips on where to try to fish. Badger even cooked us all lunch with the freshly caught salmon. My boyfriend and I both caught our limit of sockeye salmons for the day. We also saw multiple bears which made the trip even more exciting. I will be remembering this wonderful experience for a long long time. Thank you all so much!

I got a hold of the owner, Courtney, who made the reservation process so easy and booked my family and another family coming down with us in the Chapel Cabin. Not knowing what to expect, we packed the car with toiletries, camping chairs, bed stuff. Turns out, we didn't need it because the cabin came stocked with it all. There is an amazing little "social circle" around a fire pit and propane grill (utensils all included.) There is pre-chopped firewood that I was almost demanded to use as much as we wanted which was nice in the cooler evenings. The cabin itself has a fully stocked kitchen (but no dishwasher), a queen bed and two twin beds upstairs and a pull-out sofa and futon downstairs. I'm not much of an outdoorsman or camper but I could come back time and time again to ACBTP. The one thing that really stuck out to me was the service from Courtney and Eric. While we didn't run into them during our stay, their phone numbers are all over the complex and if anything is needed or if we had any questions, they welcome a call or text and were very quick to respond. From the beginning, I felt like I had known these guys my entire life, that's how nice they were. We're already trying to plan our next trip. I was on a mission to see Molly the Moose but it didn't happen. Hopefully next time she'll grace us with her presence. Highly recommend this location, whether its for a quick getaway from Anchorage life or if you're coming down to fish as the Kenai River is a hop, skip and jump away.
