Gwin's Lodge

Gwin's Lodge is a historic log roadhouse situated at the base of the Kenai Mountains within Chugach National Forest, in Cooper Landing on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. First opened on January 1, 1952, the lodge is one of the oldest continually operating log roadhouse lodges in Alaska, set across from the turquoise waters of the Kenai River. Two outdoor pavilions accommodate events ranging from intimate gatherings to full-scale celebrations. The Lower Pavilion is a 2,500-square-foot screened structure featuring a stage and room for up to 150 guests, while the Upper Pavilion hosts more intimate events of up to 50 guests. Both pavilions are set among towering spruce trees and are suited for weddings, receptions, corporate retreats, conferences, and family reunions. The on-site full-service Roadhouse Restaurant handles catering for events, and 17 guest cottages plus two cottage houses accommodate out-of-town visitors on the property.
