Clean, excellent setting on the river, a little ways out of town, but that's a good thing and excellent fishing charters. The cabins are very comfortable. It's not the Westin, but who goes to AK to stay at the Westin. Breakfasts are simple, which was a perfect start to a day on the water. The staff was very friendly and... More

As told in other reviews, you can stay in the new lodge (about 200 yards from boat ramp check in lodge). What's good about the lodge if you stay there vs cabins is you walk downstairs to breakfast in the morning, or coffee anytime. Drawback is the rooms facing the fire pit. At night, some guest sit around the fire... More

Excellent communication via email. Very upfront and fair. No games. Very clean accomodations. Shower with good hot water and good pressure. Stayed in Trophy Lodge. Good continental breakfast (Pure Premium Tropicana OJ!, high quality jelly/jams, 20 different kinds of fresh cereals, good coffee with togo cups available) Excellent fishing guide, we fared better and sometimes way better than the other...

I read all the reviews listed below and I have to say my experience was not the same.I stayed at the old lodge so,maybe thats why me and my friend had a bad experience. I have to say it was our second time at River Bend. The first trip was above average but the fishing was epic. I think the... More

Five of us stayed in one the cabins near the river and it was perfect. Rustic for sure, but great for a fishing trip. The beds were nice, everything worked properly, the breakfast served in the morning was "help yourself" and all you can eat. The staff at the lodge was the best part. We were treated like family and... More

My brother and I stayed with Kenai Riverbend Resort again this year. This was our 4th trip. That alone should tell you that this is a special place. There are many options for places to stay and people to fish with on the Kenai Peninsula. The owners and staff at Kenai Riverbend Resort are determined to make your trip the... More

My son and I have been planning an Alaskan fishing trip for many years to celebrate his 21st birthday. As a result, we had a lot of time to research and plan. Our budget was somewhat limited and we wanted to make sure we went to a place that was serious about their fishing and provided a personalized experience versus... More

My dad, brother and myself had the best fishing experience of our lives! I'm from NJ and my dad and brother are from Atlanta and Kenai Riverbend treated us likes kings. The cabins are very rustic, as it should be, but very clean. The tv had 3 channels with rabbit ears (which was hilarious) but we came there to fish.... More

This was my third stay with Kenai Riverbend Resort. I met some guys (who were having a heckuva man-party) who had been there at least 10 times. Repeat business is a great testimony to how Kenai Riverbend Resort runs their fishing and lodging operation. Most things go well on these trips, but sometimes things go wrong -- the weather doesn't... More

Log Cabin Accommodations I loved these log cabins. They are located in a beautiful spot right on the Kenai River. Each cabin will accommodate up to 6 guests in comfort and includes a kitchenette, private bath, cathedral ceilings, televisions and a sitting area. The cabins have a loft and private bedroom downstairs with handmade beds. These cabins are truly Alaskan... More
