About this property

Upper Kenai Lakeside Chalet in Cooper Landing Alaska

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.

Great Stay. The house was super clean and well equipped with a well equipped kitchen. Having the washer and dryer was great. Definitely will be staying again. Stacy was also very responsive and assisted us in our search for fishing guides on short notice. We were hoping to fish with him but he was booked on our last minute request. Definitely a 10 out of 10 stay. Thanks

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.

The Real Alaska

The property is secluded and nice n quiet, but still very accessible in and out the area. Pretty central to Seward and Sterling hwys.Inside the house is just amazing. I love the plants and elk and salmon decor. Kitchen is complete.We just wish there was more views of the river from the house, would have been fantastic.Thank you having us stay at Mystic Waters it was a lovely memorable place.

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!

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Stacy or Shannon

Host profile image
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.
