About this property

Conveniently located approximately 90 minutes south of Anchorage, the Mystic Lodge is a custom built chalet in the heart of the Kenai Mountains. Featuring hardwood floors in the living room, tile in the kitchen/bath and wall to wall carpet in the bedrooms your feet are always warm from the radiant in floor heating. With a cathedral ceiling and elements of post and beam, you are truly 'roughing it comfortably' with some of the best fishing in the world literally at your doorstep. Tastefully appointed with artwork and local pictures, the south facing windows are practically overgrown with beautiful houseplants and offer magnificent views of the Kenai Mountains where Mt. Goats and Dall Sheep are often visible.

Whether you are fishing the upper Kenai for trout or salmon, the lower Kenai for King Salmon, or the saltwater possibilities out of Seward or Homer, we are centrally located making all of these locations possible. If you are not a fisherman, there are unlimited hiking and biking trails that offer endless wildlife viewing possibilities, and we are always happy to offer suggestions or help in planning your desired activities.

Amazing stay in the Kenai Lake

This was such a terrific find in Cooper Landing! Stacy and Shannon were warm, wonderful, and helpful hosts. We had direct acces to the lakeside beach in their backyard and it was a super comfortable and up-to-date cabin. Perfect location to get to fishing and all sorts of outdoor excursions. Couldn’t be happier with our stay.

Perfect for short or long term stay

Wish we could have stayed longer, to enjoy not only the location right along the water, but also the beautiful home. The house was nicely equipped with all kitchen accessories, which made it convenient to cook late night meals after a day of traveling. We even were able to grill! An absolute must stay if you’re in the area!

Very pleasant stay, great location

We just stayed for 3 nights at the cabin. The property is immaculate and the location is serene. I slept great the whole time which is rare for me. Stacy and Shannon are great hosts who were very helpful and accessible every step of the way. We strongly recommend this property and sincerely thank the hosts.

Cooper Landing Cabin

We loved our stay at Stacy and Shannon’s place. From the moment we booked until we checked out, they were great communicators and very helpful. Their home was so cozy and clean! It was the perfect place to land at the end of a day of fishing and exploring beautiful Alaska. We hope to be back again someday!

Our stay here exceeded my expectations! This is the Taj Mahal of cabins in Cooper Landing. Very comfortable in an extremely beautiful setting. Stacy was a wonderful host and fishing guide. We had a fabulous time and I’m looking forward to going back!

Wonderful Place!

We had an absolutely awesome time in Cooper Landing. Stacy is such a great guy (we didn't get to meet Shannon!) and so hospitable. There were four of us and we would have preferred two bathrooms but we managed just fine. We had everything we needed and the house was beautiful, very clean, and comfortable.

Loved our stay in Cooper Landing at Mystic Waters Cabin. The beautiful and creative decor, so many houseplants and a perfectly stocked kitchen and laundry was great. Not to mention the beauty of the property itself and the friendly spirit of our hosts. Thank you.

We loved it!

We had a great time at the cabin. Perfect for our group of 5. It’s clean and fresh and right on the beautiful Kenai Lake! Stacy was an unbelievable guide on the Kenai River. Most of the group have never fly fished before and at the end of the day the newbies caught more fish then the pros! Can’t wait to come back!

Great place!

Perfect for the 4 of us. Quiet neighborhood, short walk down to the lake. Grilled salmon and ate on the deck. Smallish problem was only a couch and one chair. We like to play cards so pulled a lawn chair in. All the flowers and plants made it seem more "homey". We would definitely stay again.

Amazing Trip!

Absolutely loved the Mystic River Cabin! My sister was working at the Princess Lodge for the summer so a group of friends and I decided to come visit her. This was the perfect spot! The owners were wonderfullly friendly, the cabin was spotless and had everything we needed including a washer & dryer. Can not express with words how beautiful the river and mountains are where the fire pit is. Once in a lifetime trip! I would recommend this cabin to anyone visiting Cooper Landing!

Comfortable and Quiet House

The house was as advertised. The house was beautiful and well maintained. It was a perfect for our needs. The house was very well decorated with a fly fishing theme as it was located on the Kenai River. The views were awesome especially from the second level. The bathroom had a washer dryer which was a welcome site after a week in the wilderness. The owners were very friendly and accommodating to some of our requests. We would stay at this house again!

Awesome place. Awesome location.

There's really too much to put in writing about this nice lakeside cabin. A perfect size for a family or two couples. Just 10 minutes from amazing salmon fishing and only 50 yards from Kenai Lake (the property is on the lakefront). Very nice fly fishing decor in the cabin. Well stocked with basic necessities and a brand new washer-dryer. Nice deck with wader hooks out front. Not many better places for anglers; albeit I'm just a novice =). Lastly, Stacy and Shannon are very accessible before and during out stay. A+

Love the place! Location was awesome and the place was well maintained. Would recommend to place!

The place is very well laid out, well maintained, clean and very comfortable beds! Love all the plants and items throughout the home. Great Scenery down by the lake. The owners were great too (thanks for all the tips)! Sounds like we should have taken Stacy advice and hired him as a guide if you want to keep some fish. We had fun catching reds on the Russian river . However we had to release all our fish because they were snagged other than the lip. Again thanks for sharing you place with family! We had a great time and would love to return again! Rich

Nice

The great: Clean cabin, very well stocked kitchen, nice deck, has dishwasher and washer/dryer, satellite, wifi, 2nd tv in loft, location – close to everything in very quiet neighborhood, on the beautiful lake (short walk to see it). The not so great: no kitchen table (even a small two seater which there is room for, would be nice), uncomfortable furniture (although we were told new furniture was ready to go in after we left), pedestal sink in the bath (no room to put stuff), plants are everywhere - to the point of being obnoxious – get in the way of blinds and they were watered while we were gone (reduces privacy), owner’s home is directly next to cabin across the driveway (reduces privacy). Overall, a decent/nice place but not to the level of 5 stars for the price.

About the host

Hosted by Stacy or Shannon

Our love of the outdoors and the wild beauty of Alaska brought us to Cooper Landing. We are both transplants from the southwest and enjoy hiking, camping and of course fishing. As a fly fishing guide for Mystic Waters and my wife's love of the outdoors, it seemed natural to settle on Kenai Lake. We are less than a mile from where the world famous Kenai River begins, which puts us in some of the best fly fishing water in all of Alaska. We invite you to come enjoy our beautiful vacation home and share in the beauty of our magnificent state.

Why they chose this property

We built our rental during the fall of 2002 and the winter of 2003. We built the Mystic Lodge primarily to accommodate guests that come up to fish the Kenai with us, but you don't have to fish to enjoy this wonderful area. The outdoor activities and wildlife viewing opportunities abound. Spend a week here and you'll see why Cooper Landing truly is the 'gem' of the Kenai Peninsula.

What makes this property unique

Beyond the incredible beauty of this area, we are conveniently located 90 minutes south of Anchorage on Kenai Lake. We are a mile from the Kenai River (on Kenai Lake) and 10 minutes from the famous Russian River which puts you right in the middle of some of the best sport fishing in the world. There are numerous hiking and biking trails in the area and we are minutes away from the town Cooper Landing. You will frequently see wildlife including moose and bears. Mountain goats and Dall Sheep can be seen almost daily on the adjacent mountains.
