Cleaning Info

Payment Information: We prefer that both the Cleaning Fee and Security Deposit be paid via Venmo @cusacksonthekenai if possible. If you do not have Venmo, please text the owner to arrange an alternative payment method.
Cleaning Fee:
The Destination Wedding Cleaning Fee is $1,000 and is due 30 days prior to your arrival. This fee covers cleaning and restocking for the lodging areas, including all common areas, bathrooms, bedding and towels, and replenishing supplies.
Please note that this fee does not cover the cleanup of your ceremony and reception areas. You are responsible for ensuring these areas are cleaned after your event. If you prefer not to handle this yourself, we offer additional options for ceremony/reception cleanup, as well as setup and breakdown assistance. These services can be arranged through the addendum provided.
Refundable Security Deposit:
A fully refundable Security Deposit of $500 is also due 30 days prior to your arrival. This deposit is intended to ensure compliance with our property rules and policies. The specifics of these fines are outlined in your contract, and the amounts are at the owner’s discretion. Our rules are straightforward and focus on maintaining a respectful and enjoyable environment for everyone. By following these guidelines, you help us create a welcoming experience for all our guests.
Examples of breaking the rules are leaving flower petals or other debris behind, particularly if it delays preparations for the next check-in, not turning the music down “a few notches” at the designated asking time, any involvement with the state troopers, or disrespectful behavior toward COTK staff, owners, or neighbors.
Refunds for the Security Deposit will be processed within 30 days after your stay.

 

PRICING FOR MOVING THE CEREMONY DOWN BY THE WATER IN WINTER $0-$1000???

A ceremony down by the water with snow on the ground, as shown in the photo above, is absolutely doable. However, it is not included in the standard pricing. If you’re considering this option, the cost will vary depending on how much snow needs to be cleared and how close you’d like the setup to the riverbank.

If you’re happy with the area where the snow is already cleared—closer to the lodge—there’s no extra charge. That’s right: $0! However, you’ll need to move the arbor and chairs yourself, both before and after the ceremony, to avoid additional fees. If you’d prefer, we can handle the setup and breakdown for an extra charge.

Want to Save Money?

We’re happy to let you do the extra work yourself. You can clear the snow and set up the area just how you’d like it. If you or someone you know has a plow truck or snow-clearing equipment, you’re welcome to tackle it on your own. This allows you to save money and customize the location to your preference. If we handle the snow removal, you’ll be charged for that service. The same applies to the arbor and chairs: it’s free if you handle it yourself, or there’s an additional fee for us to set it up and break it down.

A True Alaskan Experience

The main lodge parking lot is always cleared during the winter, but winter weddings are a new offering for us. Since we don’t know how many people would want the stunning “Iceberg Backdrop” by the Kenai River for their ceremony, we don’t routinely clear snow all the way down to the bank.

That said, this photo might be one of our all-time favorites! It perfectly captures the essence of Alaska—no helicopters or mountaintop adventures required. It’s just steps away from the lodge. Every time I see this photo, it makes me smile.

For now, this option isn’t part of our standard pricing since we’re still gauging interest. Clearing the snow all the way to the riverbank for the entire winter wouldn’t be cost-effective for just one ceremony. But we hope more couples will choose this unique experience because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t want such an iconic Alaskan wedding photo?

Call Us to Inquire About the “Iceberg Backdrop Ceremony”!

We’re happy to discuss your vision and help make it happen.

All Alaskan Shotgun Weddings come with 3 rooms to get ready in:

Bridal Suite        -        Family Suite        -        Grooms Room

Grooms take less time, so they can also hang out and play pool or darts in the game room while waiting a few more hours for the bride!

Alaskan Shotgun Weddings for April thru May 8th like an elopement, are for smaller weddings of 34 headcount or less, are in the lodge on the main level common area, in case the reception needs to be inside the lodge (as we cannot guarantee those wedding dates wont have snow on the ground still). We can do the Alaskan Shotgun Weddings on later May dates, but they will have the 40X60 clear tent for sure and are allowed 150 guests. Additional guests over 150 - $500 charge. Kitchen access (for warming). Walk in Fridge & Freezer access.

Alaskan Shotgun Weddings for June thru October wedding couples may take us up on a complimentary night’s stay on the night of their wedding in the Wolves Den. These weddings can be for larger weddings of 150 headcount or less. They are mainly held outside in the event tent, except for the 3 suites to get ready in. Wedding parties and families may hang out in the main common area of the lodge prior to the wedding but with the wedding ceremony and reception, most guests attending will probably be outside near the firepit or river, in the tent, at the pallet bar, or chillin’ on the deck. More than 150 guests a $500 fee will apply. Kitchen access (for warming). Walk in Fridge & Freezer access.

For our multiple day weddings the 4th night is still free if available on the 3 day weekday weddings. Lodging includes 18 beds in 7 private bedrooms. All rooms have private bathrooms. All rooms range in size, all beds range from Kings to Twins, and all rooms have a range from 1 to 5 beds. All mattresses are high end Nordstrom’s Heavenly Beds or better. All furniture is custom made log furniture by the great Kenny Scofield. The linens and towels are awesome. Robes are all Frette. Candles are Joe Malone candles. The décor was done by professional interior designers. The game room is the bomb. The floors are porcelain. The building is made from hand sewn Sprucewood Logs. All bedrooms have smart TVs. Kitchen has a commercial stove. Walk-in Fridge. Walk-in Freezer. Insane Fish Processing equipment with free vacuum sealing bags. Bar-b-cues on deck. Meat Monster riverside. Unlimited bank fishing. Unlimited firewood. Aluminum fishing docks. Flat to the river-no stairs to climb! Rods are available for lodge guests only. Jacuzzi on deck for 10 people. Get your tan on! Bring your swimsuit!
