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!

What a beautiful place. The cabins were awesome. A very nice and updated hotel room (great bathrooms and very comfortable beds) in an Alaska feel cabin and cool resort atmosphere. We loved kayaking the lake, played a little cornhole and horse shoes and had an overall marvelous stay. Very close to great fishing spots. The restaurant was great and by far the best hotel included breakfast I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

We had an exceptional four night stay in a lakefront cabin. The staff help was excellent, the facilities immaculate and very well decorated, and the food, especially the dining options and the chef, outstanding. We would stay there again without any doubt. This family run operation is staffed by very friendly and helpful staff from all over the world during the summer. If you’re looking for a high quality, relaxing, out of the way stay without the crowds of an Alaskan summer, this lodging is highly recommended.

Pricey, but serene

The cabins were very nice and updated with beautiful furnishings and fixtures. Restaurant served good food and snack shop had good service. Lake was beautiful and quiet. No cell service, no internet in cabins, but available (albeit hit and miss connectivity) in the lobby only. If you are checking on work issues or trying to send pictures of your lovely vacation, you'll have to postpone until you have connectivity in Seward or Anchorage.
