Gwinn's is great fun and the chowder in the roadhouse is amazing! If you are looking for luxury, Gwinn's isn't the place for you, but if you're looking for functional, clean accommodation with rustic charm, you'll love it.

Quiet & beautiful location. Individual log cabin with modern electric, walk-in shower, & kitchenette. Convenient on site cafe, a bait shop & a gift store. All the food was great, but the Chicken fried steak & the biscuits w/sausage gravy were fantastic. Will here stay again!

Gwin’s is awesome

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Gwin’s Lodge & Roadhouse in Cooper Landing, Alaska! From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality and rustic charm of this historic lodge made us feel right at home. Nestled at the base of the stunning Kenai Mountains and just steps from the turquoise waters of the Kenai River, the location is unbeatable for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Alaska’s natural beauty. Our cabin was cozy, clean, and well-equipped with a kitchenette, comfortable beds, and a charming patio offering gorgeous views of the surrounding forest and mountains. The attention to detail in the accommodations made our stay both relaxing and memorable. The on-site restaurant was a highlight—those famous ½ lb. cheeseburgers and smoked salmon chowder lived up to the hype, and the carrot cake was the perfect sweet finish! The staff was incredibly friendly, offering great recommendations for local activities like fishing the nearby Russian River. Whether you’re an angler chasing world-class salmon or just seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of the Chugach National Forest, Gwin’s Lodge is the perfect basecamp. The free WiFi and convenient amenities like the tackle shop and ATM were a bonus, making our stay hassle-free. We can’t wait to return to this gem on the Kenai Peninsula for another unforgettable Alaskan adventure! Highly recommend. Nick

Cabin - Extremely small. No wifi, no tv, no dresser or closet. When I closed the door, the door 's window curtain fell because the nail holding one end came out. I do not recommend this accommodation.

Basic accommodations that are perfect for a fish camp, rafting etc. we were a party of 3 and its was good. No complaints. Very basic for just what you need. WIFI only in restaurant is a downside. No TV either so you will be roughing it a little. Restaurant, bar and store all good. Stores are limited and pricey from grocery items… stock up in Anchorage for sure because it’s about 50 miles to a real grocery store. Several restaurants in area so you don’t have to cook if you don’t want to. I would stay here again though. However an Airbnb could be had for less and have all the comforts and technology of home.

Ultimately, I really liked Gwin’s. It was cozy and charmingly rustic. Easy to find and close to everything we wanted to do in Cooper Landing. But there was no housekeeping. Didn’t care about an unmade bed, but no fresh towels, or replacing other amenities.
