VerifiedMay 27, 2025 • Stayed at: Upper Ohmer Lake Cabin, Loop: Kenai National Wildlife Refuge
Upper Ohmer Cabin was wonderful. Had a great time on the row boat and on the local hikes around d skilak. Two sharp saws and two splitters at the cabin. Picnic table with fire pit all available. Short graveled walk from the parking perfect to haul kids stuff with a wagon. Had a great stay and would go again if we can ever book it in time.

Awesome cabin and very easy to access from the parking lot. Spent 2 days at the Kelly Lake campground and 1 night at the cabin. Most of the time was spent windsurfing on the lake. Lots of consistent wind across the whole lake. Beware of the loons... I got chased by one of them twice

This cabin is fantastic! Between the double-paned windows, the construction from 12" round logs, the great wood stove, and unseasonably warm temps for this time of year, the cabin stayed quite warm (in fact too warm if we weren't careful). There was plenty of firewood in the woodshed and 2 awls and an axe. The ice fishing was good (also safe as the ice was 2 feet thick!). I will definitely be back to this cabin.
