About this property

Luxury Space with Wilderness Views

Welcome to one of the best view accommodations in Cooper Landing! You feel as if you can literally touch the mountains with magnificent Mt. Cecil Rhode towering before you! Listen to the rushing river as the eagles soar above; a true 'wilderness experience' with the comforts of home! Your 'space' is the very private entire downstairs overlooking the Kenai River & majestic mountains! There is a separate entrance and you may never even know anybody else is around even though we live here as well. We'd love to meet you or, if you want to indulge in the serenity of the Kenai, we respect that. The full, newly remodeled kitchen is very well appointed with full size fridge, microwave, coffee pot and french vanilla creamer. The essentials are provided such as oil, salt and pepper and a welcome basket of fresh fruit, homemade muffins, oatmeal packs in addition to homemade Greek yogurt & berries parfait and fresh hard boiled eggs greet you! There's a private deck overlooking the river to lounge, bar b que grill and fire pit right outside your door for the option of enjoying the outdoors a little more. A small library stocked with Alaskana books for pleasurable reading is available, but we also have DirecTV and free wifi. You might find our huskies more entertaining! The host huskies usually greet you and will keep you company if you desire; they are all as happy to host you as we are! The king size bed has gotten rave reviews and the queen and futon are wonderfully comfortable as well. The bathroom is why we term this 'luxury'; with it's hammered copper sink and full glass, rain-shower water stream, it has been awarded 5 stars by our guests! Come experience "Kahtnu Spirit" to understand what the Dena'ina felt in this sacred land, after all, "Kahtnu" means 'Kenai' in the native language!

Comfy, spacious, and killer views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lorraine’s Kahtnu Spirit suite. Comfy, spacious, and killer views. Ideal central location for local rafting, fishing, hiking, and day trips to anywhere on the Peninsula. Easy walk to the restaurants in the Kenai Princess Lodge.

Great Stop in Cooper Landing

This place was exactly as shown and we really enjoyed our too short, one night stay. It would be a place we would have liked to stay much longer if possible. The amenities were there - amazing shower/bathroom area, breakfast snacks, fully stocked kitchen and it was exceptionally clean. The communication was clear and directions were on target. You won't be disappointed with this place.

Pefect Family Friendly Get-Away

The view is WOW, WOW, WOW! Literally the Kenai river out the front door. So beautiful. The cabin was well cleaned, comfortable, and perfect for our family with 3 small kids to sleep, eat, and play. The welcome basket of yogurts, fruits, and muffins was so wonderful and kind. Mike and Lorraine are gracious hosts and have prepared a really wonderful space.

Perfect Place on the Kenai!

We found the perfect place to stay on the Kenai Peninsula for our “DIY Alaska Land Tour”! We managed to travel from Seward to Homer during our three nights, and found quiet, rest, and relaxation when we came home to the suite at the “Kahtnu Spirit Lodging”. Lorraine was very hospitable and helped us immensely with our touring plans (great notes!) and even served my husband a plate of ribs at the community softball game! The suite is well-equipped, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the (amazing) shower was a welcome refresher on our travel weary bones. You won’t be disappointed here. Enjoy the space, place, and gracious welcome on the Kenai.

Kenai River view

Terrific view and loved hearing the sounds of the river below from our entrance porch and inside with the window open! Nice personal touches with homemade yogurt etc waiting. Grill just outside for cooking your catch or store purchase. Very close to multiple fishing guide services. Wish we could have stayed longer!

There was nothing to dislike. Everything was perfect. The host, the accommodations, the view was breath taking. We didn't want to move on. We were sorry we didnt book the location for a longer stay. Don't know how to thank them in a way that shown our true appreciation. We would recommend this location to anyone who wants to experience a true love for Alaskan hospitality. Cannot thank our hosts enough.

About the host

Hosted by Lorraine Temple

Host profile image
Lorraine has enjoyed the Alaskan lifestyle since 1984 as a dog musher and boat captain after graduating from UCSB and decided to head north for a 'road trip'; she found her passion and never went back! Mike grew up in Montana and decided to have an adventure in Sand Point, AK for a few years before heading back to MT to raise 2 wonderful boys. After about 20 years, his heart felt the call of the north and he returned bringing his carpentry skills with him. Together, Mike & Lorraine call this special mountain town, "home" along with Lorraine's ranch in Homer where she had her horses and dog team for many years. They have come to realize the joy in sharing this incredible place with others having their own unique adventures to Alaska which only adds to their every day joy.

Why they chose this property

This property is perhaps one of the most unique in Cooper Landing as it is a short stroll to the Princess Wilderness Lodge, but we are surrounded by a forest of spruce trees and aspen tress and you'd never know a lodge of that caliber was right next door! Summer guests can walk over for a beverage on their large deck or enjoy an expertly prepared meal in their dining room. We have bike rentals right on property with an assortment of mountain bikes and ebikes to get into the back country! Our view is spellbinding of the flowing turquoise water of the Kenai below and we enjoy a special hobby of looking for mountain goats with our spotting scope on the mountain. It's a shangri la in the Alaskan wilderness!

What makes this property unique

Incredible view of Mt. Cecil Rhode and the turquoise Kenai River! Close to Kenai Princess Lodge for dining and deck/bar overlooking river. Huskies to play with! Bike rentals on property and valuable source of information. Cleanliness is our signature specialty!
