It is an older unit but for a large group this place was great. we were 15 old high school friends who come to the Kenai to fish, and this is the best place yet that we stayed at overall. It is a little far out from the Kenai, but it is close to the Swanson River north of the lodge. The onsite staff and the host answered all of our questions and when supplies ran low, they were there within a couple of hours. They allowed my dog so long as we cleaned up after her and she wasn't a nuisance. One of the best things was being between the two lakes and the lodge allowing use of fishing poles, lures, spinners, there small motorboat and kayaks to fish and just enjoy being on the lakes. We saw moose and there is an eagles nest hidden behind the lodge. This place was clean and with the pool table, and game room it was a nice place to be after dinner. I hope we can get this place the next time we head to the Kenai with a large group. Thank you, Jennifer, for always answering my emails promptly and giving us good advice on area attractions. Looking forward to getting back in the next year or two.

Great property with wonderful history

This family property was a great place to stay and the information inside telling the history of the property was an added bonus. The lake access and game room were our family favorites. It’s a very large building with so many beds that you have lots of choices where to sleep.

Evenson Heritage Lodge

We were in Kenai attending a large family event. Nine of us stayed at the lodge and we had plenty of room to spread out. The beds were very comfortable, the view was magnificent and a couple of moose wandered through the yard as we were leaving the property, a true Alaska experience. I would definitely recommend this property to any large group.

Peaceful hideaway!

This spot is awesome and the host was great! It's not far from town, but hid away in the woods between two lakes. The host has provided tons of activities and amenities on the property. We caught nice rainbow trout in Bishop Lake, loved watching the eagles, loons, and swans, and saw moose just down the road. Our kids loved it as much as we did. The house was comfy for our family of five but could easily handle a large group. We look forward to staying here again.

Ladies' Get Away

The location is beautiful and private. We enjoyed skiing on the lake and warmed up in the hot tub. The kitchen worked well for our group of 10 and we all enjoyed time together comfortably in the living room. The upstairs bedrooms are cozy and the downstairs is more camp style. The hosts are obviously still in construction mode downstairs, making upgrades to the old homestead. Hosts Jennifer and Paul were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We stayed during -25 degree weather and they even helped when some of our vehicles would not start.

Girls weekend at Evanson Honestead

I have nothing but praise for the Homestead. I had excellent communication with the host Jennifer from the beginning. She promptly answered all of my inquiries. It was very easy to get there. The access was excellent. When we pulled up to the house we were astounded by the beauty. It was a winter wonderland! Breathtaking!! We found our keys, entered, and just kept saying how gorgeous it was. There are large windows to take in the magnificent view. The kitchen was well-appointed with every gadget you could possibly ask for. There was a nice assortment of spices for our use. The hot tub was great and there were plenty of plush towels. The linens and pillows were very nice. This is a perfect setting for large groups and family get-togethers. There was plenty of room to spread out. This is a fantastic place in every way. Last but not least. There is beautiful art created by the Evanson Family. I will definitely return!!

Wonderful stay with our grown daughter and sons/grandsons. Lodge was well stocked with plenty of things to keep busy people occupied. Beds were comfortable for all but my husband who has back issues. We bought a memory foam topper at Wal Mart and that served him well. Saw a mama moose with two yearling calves on a walk up the road, two otters glided by the first morning, and heard/saw lots of loons. Host was helpful and friendly. A great place.
