This is actually a question. I see the rooms have wood burning stoves. But do they have INDEPENDANT HEAT? I have someone that is considering this Lodge but they have small children and are concerned about the safety of only wood burning heat.

My wife and my favorite of the Princess Resorts. The log cabins style rooms are awesome. Having a wood burning stove in the cabin was cool. Shuttles are available from cabins to the guest services building but my wife and I loved the beautiful walk. We really enjoyed the trails around the lodge as well. Food was great and the staff were really helpful and friendly.

We had a wonderful experience at the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge—it was the most pleasant of the four Alaska Princess lodges we stayed at during our trip. Unlike the larger, more crowded lodges, this hotel had a cozy, intimate feel, with cabins designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding nature, providing a genuine wilderness experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They even offered us impromptu rides in the van when we needed to get back up the hill from the river or when we were walking to our cabins! Speaking of the river, exploring the area was a delight. It was a short walk downhill from the main lodge, and we were lucky enough to witness pink salmon making their way up the stunning turquoise waters. Paired with the beauty of the surrounding mountains and trees, this was a spectacular experience. Another highlight of our stay was signing up for the aurora call and, sure enough, we got the call! At 1:00 AM, we stepped outside our cabin and were greeted by the magnificent northern lights. It was an unforgettable experience. Overall, we highly recommend this lodge for anyone seeking a peaceful and authentic nature getaway.

We’d wanted to stay at the Kenai Princess Lodge for several years. The wait was worth it. It’s a spectacular setting in an aspen forest perched along the famous Kenai River. The lush grounds are filled with flowers carefully maintained by the staff. The high ceiling rooms are huge, with a wood-burning fireplace and deck. The restaurant and bar are quaint with great food at reasonable prices. Don’t miss the outdoor deck that overhangs the river. Bring a book or iPad, the cell service is great.

What fabulous lodge! The room was outstanding as far as comfort, complete with wood burning stove. There was plenty of space to relax and enjoy our time at this lodge. It was an unexpected surprise when we arrived based on the other lodges we stayed at during our land portion of our Princess tour. I would highly recommend this lodge as part of your experience with Princess. The restaurant food was very good, service was a bit hectic when someone did not show up, but they handled it all very well.
