We had a 20ft trailer that we rented. We wanted a place to stay for the last 4 days of our two week vacation to AK. My wife wrote the owners and asked some questions. They were very helpful. When we arrived we were greated by a nice gentleman that was managing the RV sites. Him and his wife were... More

I am hitting my head on my desk as I write this. I wish we had booked this for a week! We had wonderful cabin #2 on the lake. We only stayed 2 nights and did not even have time to enjoy this gem! We had fishing tours out of Seward keeping us busy all day and wish we would... More

We really enjoyed our stay in the cabins at Renfros. The lakeside cabins have the most amazing view of the lake. Cabin was well-stocked and cute. We loved the chairs on the front porch. The long days in the summer do fill the large cabin windows with a lot of light even at night. This property is outside of Seward... More

Wonderful place to stay with children. The lake was perfect for rock skipping and fort building. Incredible view from the dining table. The heater in the cabin was amazing, it warmed up the entire place in an instant. The cabin is well insulated and no heat was need in the chilly night. It's a great location, the price is super...

Our family traveled to Alaksa and the Kenai Peninsula during late June and we had a wonderful experience with Renfro's Lakeside Retreat. We stayed here for the duration of our vacation and it was perfect. Staying here allowed us the peace and quiet we were looking for, sitting on the front porch early in the quiet of the morning was... More

This place was the best! My wife says Renfro's was her favorite stay during our 2 weeks in Alaska. Kids had a blast playing in the lake. I would stay lake front only. Waking up with the lake outside your window is very nice. A total treat! And the Renfro's are some of the nicest people on the Kenai Peninsula.... More

This cabin was just what we needed after 2 weeks of driving around Alaska! We went into Seward for dinner and picked up some supplies for breakfast for the next morning. Having a home cooked breakfast was just what we needed! The lake was beautiful, and I wish we could have had more time there. All in all, a great... More

My wife & I stayed at Renfro's Aug 19-21, 2006 and had a great experience. We stayed in one of the cabins in the woods one night and a lakeside cabin the following two. The well thought-out lay-out was similar for both of them, and I would recommend either in a heartbeat (only real difference is one had a tub... More

It was everything that we anticipated. You know when you are selecting a location thousands of miles away from the internet, you never really know what you will get. Many times, the actual location doesn't look anything like the website photos. This one doesn't either. Actually, it looks better! I don;t know when we will get the opportunity again to... More

June 2006 Was looking for lodging at a reasonable rate, in the Seward area, and hit the jackpot with Renfro's. Why stay in busy Seward, and miss the feel of Alaska, when you can stay in a new and VERY clean cabin overlooking a lake? The views were outstanding! So many of the lodgings we saw were right on the... More
