We give the Alaska Serenity Lodge a big thumbs up. If you are traveling with a family we recommend

Once you get outside of Whittier or Seward, most of the towns on Alaska s Kenai Peninsula comfort inn and suites are pretty small and lodging options mostly consist of campgrounds, local owned and operated motels and small fishing lodges.  For our two nights in Soldotna we wanted someplace affordable (since we paid out of our own pocket), clean, off the main road, with enough space that the teens and parents wouldn t feel cramped.  We found the Alaska Serenity Lodge on TripAdvisor comfort inn and suites and after reading the rave reviews booked the top floor of the main lodge building.
The location and facilities were so inviting that we decided comfort inn and suites to buy some steaks and cook dinner for ourselves that evening, which gave us a chance to enjoy the property a night before the upcoming holiday weekend we had it almost to ourselves.  We enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the fire   and found time for the hot tub too. Given that it really didn t get dark out at night, it was a long relaxing family evening.
Owners Dave and  Katie Richardson were easy to deal with on the phone and via email. They even arranged for our flightseeing and fishing adventure with High Adventure Air. They answered all our questions and made us feel right at home.
Besides the amazing number and variation of the rabbits on the property, the only quirk to remember is that, since they cater to fishermen, the Lodge doesn t supply much in the way of bathroom soaps, shampoos or even a hair dryer so plan to bring your own or make do!  Linens are provided but there is no daily maid service.  There were no additional cleaning charges at the end we appreciated all the fees being included in the rate.
We give the Alaska Serenity Lodge a big thumbs up.  If you are traveling with a family we recommend the top floor of the lodge.  We didn t get to see the inside of the cabins so can t comment on them.  If you have stayed there please leave a comment and let us know what you thought.
