While on the Swann Lake Fire I stayed here at the Alaska Redfish Lodge. The owner Steve and his family are very professional and curious. Was able to get quality rest after each work shift. Was also able to get some salmon fishing in while staying there. The Lodge provided all the fishing supplies including the processing of the fish I caught. I definitely plan on bringing the family back and staying here.

We stopped by after seeing a sign for available tours. We werent looking for lodging at all. After asking about the tours, the owner mentioned he had a cabin available if we were looking. It was 11 am and we werent sure where we were going to stay so we didnt explore it further. At 7 pm, we were still in the area so I called to see if the cabin was still available. The owner said that it was and would take an hour to clean. We didnt give a name, but said we would wait an hour and come by. We went to eat dinner and then drove to the cabins after 9. We arrived to find that the cabin was still not cleaned. The owner was bizarre and started escalating, rambling about how his daughter was sick (?) And he had too much to do. We felt really put off by this and decided to just leave since the cabin wasnt ready and the owner was acting like a whack job. When we turned around to leave, the owner started yelling that we couldnt leave because we had a reservation, which we didnt--we never even gave our name. He said we were acting inappropriate because he cleaned the cabin just for us--but it wasnt even clean. He followed my husband to the car, waving his arms and yelling at him. We really felt threatened. From the car, I started videotaping him, made sure he saw me doing it and he went back inside. This guy is a ticking time bomb. The other reviews about this guy's behavior are spot-on.
