It was a stop on our way to Homer. Was not sure what to expect in middle of nowhere. It turn out to be amazing experience.

B&B may not sound like lot of amenities. But, the owner has maintained property very well. They put good thoughts managing property. Property is located at the center of nature’s haven- lake, mountains, tiny waterfalls on the mountain. And on top, gives the feeling that owner really cares for the property and surrounding. Both me and my son loved our stay here. One day, i will love to come here again with family.

The Inn at Tern Lake was our favorite accommodation. The Inn is located near a beautiful lake and creek. The hosts were helpful and friendly. The room was a suite and was very spacious with a very comfortable bed and linens. The breakfast was spectacular! Homemade pastries, eggs and fruit along with coffee, tea and orange juice.
The breakfast room is beautiful and spacious. There is a small kitchen for guest use.
We enjoyed talking with the other guests and the hosts during our meal.
The grounds around the inn are beautiful with a whimsical path to walk along. There is a putting green, and fairway for golfers and tennis courts.
We highly recommend the Inn at Tern Lake!

We stayed 1 night on our road trip in May. It was beautiful and we enjoyed the mountain view. I would categorize this more as an Bed and Breakfast style than an Inn.

The location was great, between Cooper Landing and Moose Pass with an easy drive to Seward. Beautiful mountains, small pond, walking trails with cute decorations. Closest restaurant a few miles south in Moose Pass. There is a communal kitchen area to use with refrigerator, microwave. Take off your shoes.

Wonderful little lodge/Bed and Breakfast. Clean, Quaint with beautiful grounds and views. The breakfast was extra special, and the service, quality of dishes, and home cooking were the perfect way to start the day. My only suggestion would be to to install blackout curtains; everyone in my party had difficulty falling asleep and the next day we had a long, active day.

One of the loveliest places I’ve ever stayed. Beautiful, secluded and quiet, with huge rooms and a comfortable bed. The staff went out of their way to be helpful, providing a “guest kitchen” with a fridge to store our fresh-caught fish and a grill to grill them on. They even lent us grilling utensils and aluminum foil. The breakfasts were incredible, with blueberry muffins and the best blueberry scone I’ve ever had. A gem!!

Wonderful Alaskan Stay. We were more than happy with our stay here for our two nights in Alaska. The host were very nice...the gourmet breakfasts both mornings were excellent. We loved having a large room overlooking a stream and the mountains. It is convenient between Anchorage and Seward. If you are looking for a very clean B&B that gives you all the feels of Alaska, this is the place. It is a great place to stay if going to Kenai Fjord or Seward.

Inn at Tern Lake is a stunningly beautiful lodge at the base of mountains and overlooking Tern Lake.
From our huge bedroom's balcony we could watch and listen to the meandering creek and see snow capped mountains in all directions.
Rock walking paths course the property with displays of flower planters, benches and creeks.
There's a deck that spans the rear of the lodge and steps down to the shallow Term Lake. Grills are available for guests. Hot Breakfast of omelets, bacon, fruit and delicious, warm muffins, coffee, juice and yogurt.
The staff is so welcoming from the moment we arrived until we departed.
I highly recommend The Inn At Tern Lake when staying in the Kenai area.
