I stayed at Crooked Creek Retreat during my first ever trip to Alaska in August 2012. The lodge was wonderful! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the lodge and grounds provided something for everyone during the afternoon/evenings after returning from daily excursion trips—a large yard for games, a campfire pit for s’mores and storytelling, a large wrap-around deck to sit,...

Well, it has been 3 months (June 2012) since we took our trip to the Crooked Creek Retreat, for our belated-honeymoon-Alaskan-adventure, & I can still recall the pros & cons.

Although we were to be in Alaska on business this trip, we made the relaxing drive from Anchorage to Kasilof to enjoy Crooked Creek Retreat, instead of a hotel. The lodge is ideally positioned on the Kenia Penninsula, near the famous fishing grounds of Soldotna, Homer, Anchor Point and a short trek (and beautiful drive) over to Seward. When you... More
