Plenty of space in the unit we stayed in. The place is older but very clean and comfortable. Extra towels available for our group. Plenty of places for fishing nearby and their freezer space was convenient. Will be back in the future.

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!

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.
