Alaska has long been a go-to destination for summer travelers, drawn by its breathtaking landscapes, rich wildlife, and outdoor adventures. At Discover Alaska Lodging, we take pride in offering premium vacation rentals during the busy summer months. Our cozy cabins, executive townhomes, and waterfront properties provide the perfect base for exploring the majestic Kenai Peninsula, known for its stunning scenery and world-class fishing.
However, what many might not realize is that when the days grow shorter and the summer tourists head home, our properties don't sit empty. Instead, we have found a growing demand for short-term and extended corporate housing rentals, especially from professionals in Alaska's booming petroleum and oil services industries.
The Kenai Peninsula, often referred to as the heart of Alaska's oil and gas industry, sees a steady influx of workers throughout the year. While tourists flock to the area during summer, the winter months see an entirely different group of visitors—corporate employees and contractors from the oil and gas sector. The Kenai Peninsula is home to several vital oil and gas operations, with companies regularly sending employees and contractors to the region to work on projects that support Alaska’s vital energy infrastructure.
Discover Alaska Lodging has responded to this shift by offering corporate housing rentals, providing these professionals with comfortable, home-like accommodations during their short-term or extended stays. Our executive townhomes and rental properties are fully equipped with modern amenities, making them ideal for workers seeking a temporary home away from home.
Several major petroleum companies and oilfield service firms operate in and around Kenai, requiring consistent employee travel to the area for various projects. Some of the well-known names include:
Hilcorp Alaska, LLC – One of the leading oil producers in Alaska, Hilcorp has been heavily involved in projects on the Kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet area. Their operations require a consistent rotation of workers and contractors throughout the year.
ConocoPhillips Alaska – As another prominent energy player, ConocoPhillips has a longstanding presence in Alaska. Their operations, including in the Kenai region, often lead to the need for corporate housing during drilling, maintenance, or exploration periods.
Chugach Alaska Corporation – A key player in Alaska’s oil and gas services, Chugach provides a range of support services, from project management to oil field services. Many of their employees and contractors need temporary housing during assignments on the Peninsula.
Baker Hughes – As a global leader in oilfield services, Baker Hughes frequently sends professionals to support operations across Alaska, including Kenai. Their work includes everything from well construction to pipeline services, often requiring weeks to months of stay in the region.
Alyeska Pipeline Service Company – Though best known for managing the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), Alyeska often conducts projects that bring employees to the Kenai Peninsula for specialized work, creating a demand for temporary lodging.
Our experience with vacation rentals has taught us the importance of comfort, convenience, and flexibility—qualities that are just as valuable to corporate travelers as they are to tourists. Whether you're a petroleum engineer, a project manager overseeing a pipeline project, or a contractor with an oilfield services company, we have tailored our corporate housing offerings to suit your needs.
Fully Furnished Properties – Our executive townhomes and cabins are fully furnished with high-speed internet, modern kitchens, and cozy living spaces, providing all the comforts of home.
Flexible Rental Terms – We offer short-term or extended-stay options to accommodate varying work schedules, whether you need a place for a week or several months.
Proximity to Key Work Sites – Our properties are located conveniently close to major oil and gas operations, reducing commuting time and enhancing convenience for workers.
24/7 Support – We know that professionals working in the energy sector have demanding jobs, which is why our team is available around the clock to address any questions or concerns during your stay.
Beyond Work: Enjoying Kenai During Your Stay
Even though the primary focus of corporate travelers is work, Kenai offers an abundance of natural beauty and activities to enjoy during downtime. From winter fishing on the Kenai River to viewing the Northern Lights, there are plenty of opportunities to unwind after a long day. Many of our properties offer stunning views and are located near recreational opportunities that allow visitors to experience Alaska's wilderness even in the winter months.
