The room is rustic and very small. It was clean and sparsely furnished. This is not unusual in small lodges in rural Alaska. Trail Lake and surrounding mountains are beautiful. The food in the restaurant is quite good.

Great Stay!

Yes, the room was small but comfortable. Very safe and quiet. Complementary coffee, tea, or cocoa at the restaurant. It is not the Hilton but was perfect as a kick off to Seward (about a 30 minute drive). We ate at the restaurant for breakfast and supper and both meals were delicious. I would stay here again-the sheets were clean and the water was hot! I do not need much else.

Like others we were put up at the motel across the street which is outdated and lacks any charme. Very nice and kind owner cannot make up however for one of his staff who provided really uninspiring service, for defensive when we complained and even threatened to throw us out of the restaurant. I hope the owner can fix this place - in the meantime I recommend you stay elsewhere.

It was clean and the staff was excellent to work with when i needed to change the reservation. The room was very minimalist--no fridge, microwave, kleenex, cups or glasses, TV, clock or radio and very few electrical outlets for charging. However, if all you want to do is sleep, it was pleasant and adequate. The restaurant has good food and reasonable prices.

This property I will review. Although the staff, restaurant and lounge were all great, the room is very small and the bed is very old. No amenities. No TV, no Internet. But the upside is it’s proximity to Kenai fjords national Park. I stayed two nights but paid more than the room was worth.

We thought we were staying at the lodge, but was given a room across the street at an older drive up motel they may have acquired later. No fridge, TV, coffee maker or microwave. Very very basic and small . Clean though and there was coffee at store across the street for morning. Ok for a quick overnite but not fir anything more

The wooden lodge itself is unique. I was extremely skeptical about the bathroom and shower not inside the lodge but there were 4 shower and bathroom for 5 lodges. I was kind of use one for ourselves.

Really enjoyed my stay at Trail Lake Lodge. The setting is stunning and I had a great meal at the restaurant after a day of fishing in the rain. It's also conveniently located between Cooper Landing and Seward.

The lodge was old and dated but that was expected and did not bother us. I gave a lower rating because the beds that were in our room were awful. I'm not too picky about beds, but I could feel the bumpy springs in the bed - they definitely need to change out the mattresses. (just a note that my parents were in a different unit and it was nice and comfy) It also should be noted that the walls are paper thin so you can hear all of your neighbor's conversations and "other activities".

Jennifer

We checked in and were told we had been upgraded to a lodge room, rather than a hotel unit room, which based on other reviews was a good thing. Pros: Our room had two beds and a sleeper sofa/loveseat. It was relatively clean. Tiny tiny tiny bathroom, but whatever. Good satellite TV and free WiFi. Restaurant and bar onsite. They were ok - nothing special. But this lodge has a spectacular location. Trail Lake is gorgeous. Moose Pass is a cute little community, conveniently close to a lot of things to do. Now for the Cons: this property needs maintenance! It is falling apart. Mattresses are bad. Carpet was ripped and falling apart, balusters on the stairs were falling apart, the dock was not usable. Log siding and wooden trim all deteriorating. Just heartbreaking. It was probably so beautiful back in the day. Please show it some love!
