I booked the lodge for some meetings with a group in May 2021. I had an amazing time! The service was top-notch, the location was fantastic, and the amenities both inside and outside were superb. Being by the river added an extra touch of magic to the experience. This was my first visit to Alaska and I truly felt welcomed in every aspect. Linda, the lodge caretaker, was incredibly kind and accommodating. I absolutely adored my stay!
I must say, the venue's aesthetic is simply stunning. Truly a fantastic place!
I have had the pleasure of staying at this charming lodge for the past two summers. The first time, we visited during the pink salmon run and had an absolute blast. Even though the total fish count in the river was lower than usual that year, it didn't dampen our experience at all. We caught so many fish that our freezer was overflowing with them!
During our second visit last summer, we held a family reunion at the lodge. Relatives and their children from various parts of the globe came together, and the venue easily accommodated our large group. I'm not sure about the exact square footage of the interior, but there was plenty of space for everyone to relax and spread out.
The lodge is conveniently located near an airport, which made traveling to and from Kenai Anchorage a breeze. The fishing was exceptional that year, with record numbers of salmon making their way into the river. We also had fantastic opportunities for wildlife viewing.
One evening, we dined at a wonderful restaurant in Soldatna, giving us a break from cooking. However, we also enjoyed using the lodge's professional-grade kitchen, which made us feel like expert chefs.
Alaska Legends turned out to be the ideal spot for our midnight sun summer solstice wedding. We got in touch with Bret and Caleb over the phone back in January 2019, shortly after our engagement. When my partner expressed his desire to marry me under the Alaskan midnight sun, I was at a loss on how to make that happen. Thankfully, they made our wedding dreams come true and collaborated with us to bring to life the Alaskan wedding of our dreams. It wasn't just a wedding we had, but we also found a new family. Much love to you guys.
Just a stone's throw from the Kenai River with fantastic fishing opportunities right off the pier, the venue boasts a stunning location. The lodge exudes cleanliness, comfort, and ample space, while the top-notch kitchen is ideal for whipping up meals for sizable groups. Additionally, guests can enjoy a pool table, a well-stocked bar, cozy lounging areas, and vast outdoor space for lawn games and hosting events. I couldn't recommend it more highly!
This venue was absolutely perfect for the wedding I attended. Brett went above and beyond to make sure all our requests were taken care of. And let's not even start on the view - simply breathtaking!
An amazing time at the lodge, I must say! Our visit was in June 2020 and we didn't have a care in the world about the dreaded covid virus. The lodge is not only stunning but also extremely secure. We were there for a friend's wedding, and let me tell you, it was absolutely marvelous! I'm already itching to return. And can we talk about Bret, the owner? He arranged a glacier tour for us, which was simply splendid. Top notch service all around!
We had a splendid time at Alaska Legends. The lodge is impeccably clean, fully equipped, and set in a stunning location right by the river! We are eagerly looking forward to our next visit...and perhaps a longer stay! 😉
My hubby and I tied the knot at this charming venue in July, and it exceeded all my expectations. The setting had a secluded and tranquil vibe, yet it was just a short 20-minute drive from all essential amenities. The proprietors truly outdid themselves to ensure our every need was met. The lodge itself is a beautifully crafted masterpiece, and we comfortably accommodated over 50 guests on site. It's an ideal spot for anything from family gatherings to memorable occasions.
We had an absolutely smashing time at our mate's wedding at Alaska Legends Lodge - a truly splendid spot to lodge with our pals. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay even more delightful. Cheers!
My spouse and I tied the knot in this lovely venue back in June after a year and a half of planning. We discovered it at a wedding expo (pre-Covid) and what drew us to this place was the "all inclusive" feature. Having been involved in numerous weddings before, the idea of having everything in one location and the inclusive services offered was appealing.
The venue itself is stunning. It was wonderful to have our loved ones all together in one place with the option to stay overnight. Sitting beside the river on the metal dock provided a serene escape amidst the hustle and bustle of organizing a wedding.
Our main issue revolved around the wedding package. I would advise anyone considering this venue to acquire their wedding essentials elsewhere. Trust me, it will be much more economical to rent tables, chairs, linens, and tableware from a rental service in Kenai or Soldotna. We paid $2500 for the said items (inclusive of set up and clean up services) which were not provided, with additional charges quoted for moving items from the ceremony to the reception site (approximately 500 feet) on the day of the event.
Upon sharing our concerns with the general manager, it took over two months to receive a response. Considering we had developed a good relationship with him over the course of a year and a half, I was surprised by the delayed reply. When we finally heard back, the response came across as dismissive and defensive, with a remark that our expectations were too high. This was quite disheartening. When you invest a considerable amount of money in services anticipating they will be delivered as agreed upon, a certain level of understanding is expected. The view from the property alone justifies the cost of the venue, but we strongly advise looking to external resources and not relying solely on the venue for additional wedding services. Particularly if you wish to avoid adding unnecessary stress on a day meant to be joyous.
Absolutely delightful and tranquil. The amenities and cuisine are simply exquisite, offering a truly comfortable experience. There is an abundance of activities and excursions to partake in during your stay.
I absolutely adore this venue! The ample space and the inclusion of a private bathroom in each room are simply fantastic. The ambiance is so warm and welcoming; it truly feels like a solid choice for any event. We've hosted family reunions here and it's wonderful to see everyone gather in the kitchen, dining room, or even down by the dock. And let's not forget about the on-site pub - what a delightful bonus!
