This lodge is wonderful! The family that runs it is very helpful and gave us several good recommendations for activities in the area. They genuinely seemed to want us to have an enjoyable stay. The staff was very kind. The room was very clean, designed nicely, and the bed was comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was more like a restaurant experience. The setting is beautiful; we appreciated the complimentary kayaks and paddle boards for the lake. We would definitely stay here again!

What a beautiful place. The cabins were awesome. A very nice and updated hotel room (great bathrooms and very comfortable beds) in an Alaska feel cabin and cool resort atmosphere. We loved kayaking the lake, played a little cornhole and horse shoes and had an overall marvelous stay. Very close to great fishing spots. The restaurant was great and by far the best hotel included breakfast I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Our cabin was so cute and well appointed. The king bed was a dream! Loved the bathroom shower and separate sink areas. The gas fireplace was great to take away the evening chill. Numerous breakfast options were included in stay. Evening dining can be purchased in lodge restaurant, or pizza, ice cream and a few gifts are available in parlor. You can choose to canoe, kayak, paddleboard on the lake. This facility is centrally located for day visits to Seward and Girdwood. We loved our 3 night stay!

My family and I stayed at the lodge for two nights and it was so beautiful and comfortable. The location is wonderful, peaceful, we did some fishing off of the lake. We took advantage of the kayaks they offer and it was just spectacular views. We are family of six we stayed in the lodge that had the three individual rooms looks like a cabin, the beds were incredibly comfortable. all the rooms had coffee, machines, microwave, and fridge. The property is absolutely beautiful and enjoyable. I wish we had stayed there even longer because we enjoyed it so much. Breakfast was fantastic and included and there’s a restaurant on site for dinner and a deli to get sandwiches and pizza in the middle of the day.

We didn't get a lake view room but regardless I was very happy with what we got. Our room was deceptively large, the beds comfy, the room clean and facilities good. The power of the shower was a little weak but was ok. The staff were very polite and service was very good. I do have to say I was expecting better from the restaurant. I mean there was nothing really wrong with what we got for our evening meal but people on here really built it up for us and I would say for the price it was not a good as we anticipated. Overall we would stay again, a good base for a first night or first two nights if flying into anchorage and landing at a reasonable time of day.

We had an exceptional four night stay in a lakefront cabin. The staff help was excellent, the facilities immaculate and very well decorated, and the food, especially the dining options and the chef, outstanding. We would stay there again without any doubt. This family run operation is staffed by very friendly and helpful staff from all over the world during the summer. If you’re looking for a high quality, relaxing, out of the way stay without the crowds of an Alaskan summer, this lodging is highly recommended.

Such an amazing place. The staff, food, and proximity to wildlife/wilderness are all outstanding. Anyone looking to head off into the last great frontier should have a stay at the Summit Lake Lodge for a night or two. Recommend renting the lakefront cabins, as waking up to a cup of coffee in bed with incredible views helps start any day with a smile. A special thanks to Brandon and Lindsey for making it a very memorable trip for my entire family.

I’m incredibly glad I cancelled my Anchorage stay and chose Summit Lodge instead. The peaceful lakeside location is absolutely stunning and made for a perfect getaway. Breakfast each morning was exceptional—delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. Brandon and Lindsey went above and beyond with their warm and welcoming hospitality. Their personal touches truly made the experience feel like home. The lodge is cozy, scenic, and perfectly located for a relaxing stay. I’d happily return and highly recommend Summit Lodge to anyone visiting the area.

The property is absolutely beautiful and enjoyable. I wish we had stayed there even longer because we enjoyed it so much. Breakfast was fantastic and included and there’s a restaurant on site for dinner and a deli to get sandwiches and pizza in the middle of the day.
My family and I stayed at the lodge for two nights and it was so beautiful and comfortable. The location is wonderful, peaceful, we did some fishing off of the lake.

This lodge was a perfect location for everything we planned to do while on the Kenai Peninsula. It had amazing lake and mountain views and was very well maintained and clean. The restaurant had great food and service. I highly recommend this property.

Absolutely incredible experience! This family owned lodge hits every right note. From the very nice, well appointed cabins, to the friendly staff, Summit Lodge was awesome. Best of all is the amazing central location to all of the sites of the Kanai Peninsula. Beautifully situated on a stunning lake with gorgeous mountains in the background. We didn’t want to leave our cabin as it was just too nice to leave. To top it off, our stay included a wonderful made to order breakfast each morning. We’ve stayed in a lot of great places all over the world and Summit Lake Lodge ranks at the top. We can’t wait to return!

I’m incredibly glad I cancelled my Anchorage stay and chose Summit Lodge instead. The peaceful lakeside location is absolutely stunning and made for a perfect getaway. Breakfast each morning was exceptional—delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. Brandon and Lindsey went above and beyond with their warm and welcoming hospitality. Their personal touches truly made the experience feel like home. The lodge is cozy, scenic, and perfectly located for a relaxing stay. I’d happily return and highly recommend Summit Lodge to anyone visiting the area.

Dining
Complimentary made-to-order breakfast is frequently praised as excellent. The on-site restaurant is widely enjoyed for quality dinners and desserts, though one guest found an evening meal below expectations.

We didn't get a lake view room but regardless I was very happy with what we got. Our room was deceptively large, the beds comfy, the room clean and facilities good. The power of the shower was a little weak but was ok. The staff were very polite and service was very good. I do have to say I was expecting better from the restaurant. I mean there was nothing really wrong with what we got for our evening meal but people on here really built it up for us and I would say for the price it was not a good as we anticipated. Overall we would stay again, a good base for a first night or first two nights if flying into anchorage and landing at a reasonable time of day.

Fantastic place. I loved it. Staff was super nice. I would have stayed longer if I didn’t have to go back home. Went to their restaurant twice at night. Absolutely delicious. Best meal of my whole stay in Alaska (over 2 weeks)

What a beautiful place. The cabins were awesome. A very nice and updated hotel room (great bathrooms and very comfortable beds) in an Alaska feel cabin and cool resort atmosphere. We loved kayaking the lake, played a little cornhole and horse shoes and had an overall marvelous stay. Very close to great fishing spots. The restaurant was great and by far the best hotel included breakfast I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Our cabin was so cute and well appointed. The king bed was a dream! Loved the bathroom shower and separate sink areas. The gas fireplace was great to take away the evening chill. Numerous breakfast options were included in stay. Evening dining can be purchased in lodge restaurant, or pizza, ice cream and a few gifts are available in parlor. You can choose to canoe, kayak, paddleboard on the lake. This facility is centrally located for day visits to Seward and Girdwood. We loved our 3 night stay!

Summit Lake Lodge is a beautiful place to stay! Surrounded by beautiful grounds and a pristine Lake. It is so clear you can see through to the bottom and it offers free kayaking! The rooms are very updated but with a rustic feel. The staff is wonderful! It is a family-owned in operated place and it feels very welcoming. The free breakfast in the morning is awesome! It is a full breakfast

We really enjoyed our 3-night stay with Summit Lake Lodge. The owners/family, Marty, June, Brandon & Lyndsey made us fill so much like we were at home away from home. Great breakfast, atmosphere and above all terrific customer service from all employees/staff. We highly recommend this Lodge to anyone traveling in Alaska!

Our room was very nice. Parking was right outside. The property is pretty. Breakfast was good but the hours of breakfast were strict and not convenient for early risers and people with early planned activities. The on-premise restaurant is decent (prices are high).

Summit Lake Lodge was a good choice for us. The individual log cabins are quaint but also spacious. The room was well equipped with an en-suite shower room, fridge, A/C and extra vanity area. The wooded setting however makes the room quite dark and the little balcony had no outdoor seating. Breakfast was included in the room charge but unfortunately they do not cater for food intolerances- I am celiac so I could have only eggs. The coffee shop also had no gluten free pastry options. One negative on the coffee shop was the state of the decking- the legs of the bar stools could pass through the space between the planks - my stool fell over as I sat onto it & I fell to the ground. This certainly needs looked at or at worst a warning poster to be careful. That said the Lodge is on a beautiful setting on the edge of the lake. The staff were friendly & helpful. I would definitely recommend a stay at Summit lake Lodge.

Very comfortable. Very clean. Great towels! Free breakfast outstanding. Beautiful area centrally located between Anchorage and Seward. All side trips they booked for us came off without a hitch. Restaurant and service were excellent. Beds very comfy. Everyone bent over backwards to see we were happy and cared for. Highly recommend!
