We decided to host our wedding, including overnight stays, at the Knik River Lodge in August of 2011. We can't say enough good things about the lodge. The views from the grounds are absolutely spectacular. The cabins are impecibly clean and cozy. The owners were beyond accomodating, and really took a personal interest in making sure our wedding was something we would never forget. The food was delicious, and the glacier tour was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. A special thanks goes to one of the owners, Evelynne, for all the special "little" touches she took care of. I would recommend this lodge to anyone and everyone for a fantastic an relaxing place to stay in Alaska. Absolutely beautiful & stunning. We will be back for another visit for sure!

I bought a 2 night stay thru Alaskarewards.com. I took my dad there for a nice peaceful stay. The cabins are perfect, just enough space for what you need with all the amenities you might need (except TV, but they do have a good selection of DVDs to choose from. But really, you're not going there to watch TV! hahaha) The view from the front porch is beautiful. I loved having my morning coffee on the porch and reading my book there later in the afternoon. Everyone on staff was really very nice. My hat's off to Chef Bruno for a fantastic meal in the Yurt. Dad had the Beef Wellington and I had Chicken in a lemon cream sauce with mushrooms and pasta. I really recommend having at least one meal in the yurt. I still can't believe its only 1 hr away from Anchorage and very close to Palmer, so we were able to go to the State Fair too. Dad has already told me he wants to go again in the spring time. I think I'll try to go on wither the helicopter ride or jet boat ride to the glacier next time. Can't wait! See you there!

I had purchased a Groupon for 2 nights at the lodge so I was very excited to use this for my birthday. We stayed July 22nd through July 24th.

We were greeted by a lovely girl and had no issues checking in whatsoever. We were told there was no cable/satellite TV, but they had a great selection of DVD's to pick from and we helped ourselves.

Breakfast was good: fresh bread (which is delicous!!!!!!), fresh baked muffins (apple cinnamon and banana when we were there, also delicious), juice, fresh fruit, and an assortment of jams and butter. It's an extra expense ($14/day), but it satisfied us!

The cabins are BEAUTIFUL and spacious enough for me. I liked that they had included a mini fridge and microwave, although we never used the microwave. We did use the coffee pot as well, which was nice. We had 2 beds in our cabin as well.

Someone complained about the water being sulfuric. They are in a remote part of Alaska, honestly what were you expecting? I'm sure it's well water and hello? That's what it smells like. My grandparents have well water and so I'm used to it so it doesn't bother me. I was thankful for a flushing toilet, hot shower, and running water in general.

The dinner I had on July 23rd wasn't good, to be honest. I had the filet mignon with a small salad, au gratin potatoes, and roasted veggies. The sides were all good, but the filet was not. I ordered medium well (pink in the center) and it was really rare in the center. It tasted off and was a pale brown color. I ate about half of it before having to give it to my boyfriend as I have a squeamish stomach. However, like I said the veggies and potatoes were delicious as well as the bread!

My boyfriend had the seafood medley (halibut, crab, scallops). He ate the scallops before I could get a chance to taste them. It was my first time having crab, and it was delicious. Nice and sweet. I tried the halibut though and it didn't seem cooked all the way through as it was still translucent in some areas. With my experience with fish it should be nice and flaky and white when cooked, not translucent. It just wasn't cooked all the way through.

They had a substitute chef in the night before, which the manager informed me when he contacted me via e-mail about my meal and offered to refund us our money. I gave him both of our contact numbers and he refunded our money with no issues.

As far as the person saying they only clean ever 3 days, that wasn't my experience. We'd left for the day and came back and our beds were all made, so it clearly has changed.

I'm not sure if I'd bring kids here if I had any. It's a nice place for a couples retreat!!!

They offer discounts to Alaskan residents.

We where here on a group tour with 10 people traveling with SNP. Everybody got a realy nice room/cottage. The best beds whe have slept in in Alaska. Also the diner and breakfast where of a very high quality. Especially loved the breakfast being served to your room with freshly baked bread, delicious!
If you have the time do take a helicopter tour to the glacier, spectacular!
Hope to visit the lodge in the near future again.
