First of all, if you're looking for a resort vacation then look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a unique Alaskan experience at a good price look no further. Funny Moose Lodge is a fish camp. You have basic cottages, with kitchens, two bedrooms and small beds. But what the accommodations lack in luxury is overcome by the fun... More

This was our first booked fishing trip to Alaska. We didn't know what we were getting into. We looked at their videos to get a feel of it. Jim, our great host described it well. It is a fishing camp. But it is a clean fishing camp. We went to catch fish and we did. The guides they work with... More

This has been our 3rd opportunity to stay at the Funny Moose Lodge outside of Soldotna, Alaska. We have stayed in a different cabin each year we have been there and all have been clean and provide all the comforts required for a comfortable stay. All have the items needed for cooking your meals except for your food. Towels and... More

A great place for a serious fisherman. Not a place to pamper your wife. The charter excursions were well organized with expert guides. Neat comfortable, basic cabins. Well organized system for shrink wrapping fish and freezeing them.. They pack them in insulated boxes for taking home as baggage. Great fishing on the river bank at the lodge. The best trip... More

If I could rate this worse than terrible I would. The accommodations were filthy, we had to clean everything when we arrived. Mind you, I was there for the fishing not for the accommodations. There was no drinkable water and because of the intense smell of sulfur in the water the entire cabin if that's what you'd call it, half... More

It is hard to answer any review without knowing which cabin and who is writing it. We check most guests out by 9AM on Saturday and have all 10 cabins ready by 4PM the same day. However occasionally someone shows up early and we attempt to take care of them. This means a change of the linens, sweep and mop... More

We were a party of 4 adults (2 couples) from Nova Scotia Canada. We arrived at Funny Moose Lodge May 25 and stayed for 7 days. Did not know what to expect but found this place to be the most economical so we booked it. It turned out to be great. It is a little out of the way in... More

My girlfriend and myself stayed at Funny Moose the first time this year and we did our research for months prior to planning the trip. We used tripadvisor and read all reviews, made phone calls and we knew what we were getting long before we booked. I can say it was just what they say it is, a fishing camp... More

I will try to answer this one issue at a time... Jim and Lou good .. George could care less. This is not true. George has hired me for a reason. I am good with people. George has been in the business since the 70's and prefers after years of working with customers to take care of the fishing schedules... More
