Alaska is divided into five regions: far north, interior, southwest, south central, and inside passage. Although it takes a long time to see the entire state, you can travel through the regions by boat, car, bus, or plane. Hike through the mountains, or venture out on a deep sea fishing or whale watching excursion. Get in touch with nature by camping in the wilderness, or experience your preferred degree of class and luxury in the beautiful, active cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Chinook Shores Lodge is located 15 miles north of Ketchikan International Airport in Southeast Alaska. Accommodations include private waterfront 3-bedroom 1-bath beach houses (that sleep up to seven people) with full amenities, private dock access, self-guided fishing boats, Alaska charter fishing, quality controlled fish processing and fish packaging services. Stay here and rent one of our 23’ aluminum hard-top boats for fishing or wildlife viewing. Or, make reservations for a guided fishing adventure and try your hand at catching wild Alaska salmon and halibut. Don't like fishing, no problem. Our lodge is located to great hiking within the Tongass National Forest, and there are many historical and Native American cultural sites nearby.
We had an amazing time at Chinook Shores in June of 2021. Everything was taken care of for us....the staff was incredible. We fished 12 hr. days, brought our catch back to the doc and the staff processed our fish and put it on ice for us. They even boiled some crab we caught and we ate it 30 min. after pulling it out of the water. It was pretty sweet. We enjoyed talking with all of the kids on staff, they were very personable and knowledgeable. The best day on the water was when we hired a private guide. We caught more fish that day than any other day, and learned some tools that we used the days following. I would highly recommend getting a guide for your first long day on the water for that reason. We realized after booking our trip that June may not have been the busiest time of year for catching fish. It sounds like late July/early August there are a lot more species in the water, and you spend more time reeling them in than sitting around waiting, which is something we became very comfortable with. Needless to say our group left with 100 lbs. of fish and stories for years. The lodging was perfect for our group of 6. Basic, but comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. Each couple took turns cooking dinner and it made it a pretty stress-free experience. The views from the lodge are hard to beat. We played cards and laughed until the sun set around 10:00pm every night. I would absolutely return to Chinook Shores for another Alaska fishing trip!

Comfortable, clean accommodations in our five unique units with views of Kachemak Bay and mountains.
Our stay was 8 days. We stayed in the Anglers Dream. The cabin was as advertised and immaculate. The attention to details was so refreshing. A great home away from home for the perfect vacation. Susan was the perfect host, accommodating to all our needs.

This is your place to relax when visiting the Kenai Peninsula in Southcentral Alaska. We cater to the adventurous traveler who wants to see Alaska on their own terms, and are less inclined to book complete hotel, condo, or tour packages. We provide you with an extensive library of books on Alaska, local hiking maps, best fishing holes, bird guides, wildflower, mammal and animal tracking books. We have 2 vacation homes in the Skyline Subdivision in Soldotna, Alaska with "end of the road" privacy. We call the Purdue House a vacation rental with splendid Tree House Views!! The location of this home is in a residential neighborhood at the end of a cul-de-sac which is quiet and secluded, yet a convenient 5 minute drive to Soldotna and the Kenai River. The Purdue House is comprised of 2 completely separate and private rental units; a deluxe 2 bedroom/2 bath upper, and a 2 bedroom/ 1 bath lower. What makes this home unique is that each unit has its own private parking and driveway on opposite sides of the home. Rent both units (4 bedroom, 3 bath) for large family reunions. Just across the street is the Skyline House. This is a furnished 2 bedroom 2 bath vacation home with a large very private outdoor deck hidden in the trees. The Skyline House has 1 queen-sized luxury bed in the master bedroom with attached bath, and there is a second luxury queen bed in the second bedroom. Perfect for 4 guests. This is not a just a summer cabin recently built to accommodate summer visitors, but a custom home built for true Alaska living. Live like a local!
My husband and I rented this home while I was working on the Kenai Peninsula. It is convenient to shopping, restaurants, and outdoor activities. The home is immaculate. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. Sunset from the deck is breathtaking! Frequently we had moose in the side yard. In my opinion there is no better place to stay in the area! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!

Everything you could need is stocked in the kitchen. They have grills you can use. Loved having the back and front doors. In a very quiet peaceful area. Very reasonably priced. Stay here you will not be sorry. And don't be put off by the location it's perfect. Thank you Aspen Hollow for helping to facilitate a perfect family getaway!
