About this property
Silver Salmon Lodge
The Silver Salmon Lodge is a High-End Denali Log Home in the heart of the Kenai Peninsula! We are tucked away in spruce and birch forest frequented by the local moose, occasional caribou, bald eagles, grouse, and more! An acre lot ensures privacy and surrounded by spruce pines all around!
Our home is tailored for the family vacation. While it's also suitable for fisherman it's designed for the family/couples that are wanting to experience all of the activities in Alaska!!
It's a 3 bedroom, 2 full baths with Jacuzzi tub. It has a high-end kitchen complete with a Sub Zero glass door refrigerator, Wolf gas range, blue pearl granite countertops, black granite sink, separate freezer for your catch, and more!
The bedrooms are furnished with (2) queen, (1) full, and (2) twin log beds. I purchased higher-end mattresses for all 5 beds for optimum comfort after long days of adventure!
The upper floor full bath is complete with a Jacuzzi tub. The lower bathroom has a shower/bath combination with granite countertop and hickory cabinet.
The LG steam washer and dryer are stacked in the main floor bathroom neatly tucked into the front corner. I chose this combo because it will quickly and efficiently wash and dry large loads of clothes reducing the number of clothes our guest need to pack and bring on their trip.
The main room contains the wood stove (wood burning not gas) and leather sofa, love seat, reclining chair, LCD HDTV, etc. We also provide an 8 seat dining table as well as kitchen island with 3 bar stools.
Also provided:
*Direct TV service with High Definition and Tivo.
*Outdoor Propane Grill
*Outdoor fire pit in the back yard for telling all those tall fish tales!
Our home is decorated in native Alaskan prints, etc.and all linens are provided as well as a stocked kitchen. We only remove perishables or opened dry foods after each guest to reduce your grocery bill and save you time. The kitchen is stocked with a large supply of glassware, silverware, cooking utensils, professional cooking pots/pans, dinnerware, etc.
The beds are the traditional Alaskan hand-hewn log locally made. Logs are from local forest beetle kill pine. Our sheets and towels are replaced every 2 years and comforters/blankets every 3-4 years. Damaged/permanently stained linens are replaced immediately. In addition, our sheets are at a minimum of 300 thread count and most 400+. Pillows are down and quality foam. The two lower bedrooms both have queen size beds (One mattress is firm and the other is plusher) and closets with plenty of room. The loft is 12' x 17' with a full and 2 twin beds. The loft bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub and granite/hickory vanity.
**I do leave some of the previous sheets, towels, comforters that are unstained in good condition for use as well.
We chose Sterling because of its central peninsula location and solitude. We are minutes from the Kenai, Kasilof, and Russian rivers and several lakes. The Russian River Campground entrance in Coopers Landing is exactly 30 miles from our driveway. We are also, centrally located on the peninsula and within easy reach of Seward and Homer. 1.25 hours from Seward and 1.20 hours from Homer.
Incredible fishing for Kings, Sockeyes, Silvers, Rainbow Trout, and Dolly Varden. You can also go clamming for razor clams nearby! Plenty of mountain biking, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, climbing, etc.
***We do provide 8 spinning rods and reels for your use while staying at our home!
***I also make myself available during the season 24/7 to help guest with accurate up to date fishing information (current fish counts, current hotspots on rivers and streams all updated within 12 hours), Popular Hikes for all exp. levels, best kayaking excursions, preferred fishing and sightseeing charters, Wildlife viewing locations, etc.
