Such an amazing place. The staff, food, and proximity to wildlife/wilderness are all outstanding. Anyone looking to head off into the last great frontier should have a stay at the Summit Lake Lodge for a night or two. Recommend renting the lakefront cabins, as waking up to a cup of coffee in bed with incredible views helps start any day with a smile. A special thanks to Brandon and Lindsey for making it a very memorable trip for my entire family.

Summit Lake Lodge is a beautiful place to stay! Surrounded by beautiful grounds and a pristine Lake. It is so clear you can see through to the bottom and it offers free kayaking! The rooms are very updated but with a rustic feel. The staff is wonderful! It is a family-owned in operated place and it feels very welcoming. The free breakfast in the morning is awesome! It is a full breakfast

Our cabin was so cute and well appointed. The king bed was a dream! Loved the bathroom shower and separate sink areas. The gas fireplace was great to take away the evening chill. Numerous breakfast options were included in stay. Evening dining can be purchased in lodge restaurant, or pizza, ice cream and a few gifts are available in parlor. You can choose to canoe, kayak, paddleboard on the lake. This facility is centrally located for day visits to Seward and Girdwood. We loved our 3 night stay!

I’m incredibly glad I cancelled my Anchorage stay and chose Summit Lodge instead. The peaceful lakeside location is absolutely stunning and made for a perfect getaway. Breakfast each morning was exceptional—delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. Brandon and Lindsey went above and beyond with their warm and welcoming hospitality. Their personal touches truly made the experience feel like home. The lodge is cozy, scenic, and perfectly located for a relaxing stay. I’d happily return and highly recommend Summit Lodge to anyone visiting the area.

Alaska’s Best! Amazing location!

Absolutely incredible experience! This family owned lodge hits every right note. From the very nice, well appointed cabins, to the friendly staff, Summit Lodge was awesome. Best of all is the amazing central location to all of the sites of the Kanai Peninsula. Beautifully situated on a stunning lake with gorgeous mountains in the background. We didn’t want to leave our cabin as it was just too nice to leave. To top it off, our stay included a wonderful made to order breakfast each morning. We’ve stayed in a lot of great places all over the world and Summit Lake Lodge ranks at the top. We can’t wait to return!
