VerifiedJune 13, 2020 • Stayed at: Kelly Lake Cabin, Loop: Kenai National Wildlife Refuge
Loved the cabin. Brought our kids and it was a short enough hike even the 3 year old made it! Hiked in, rowed the boat back to the boat launch, loaded our gear, and hauled it back to the cabin in the row boat. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and kayaking. Beautiful setting. Thanks so much to all the men and women that fought the Swan Lake Fire in the summer of 2019 and saved this little gem!

Beautiful clean little cabin close to the road. Still feels very private. Great for kids. Wood stove gets it very hot- open the windows a bit!
