Kachemak Bay Wilderness Lodge

A truly magical experience! The lodge is top of the line but the people and the level of service and attention to detail is what makes this a vacation that will be ever so hard to top! The food was superb! The staff a joy! The location a beauty!

This is our second trip to the lodge. It exceeds all of our expectations. The property and views are gorgeous. The chef used maximally locally sourced ingredients for a creative menu that changed everyday. The guest cabins are all unique and have all of the comforts of home. The staff are young, energetic and adventure-loving. They cater to our every desire, starting with the owner who gave us a private tour of nearby Halibut Cove to sample fresh local oysters. We went canoeing, kayaking, hiking, fishing and sightseeing. Local wildlife add to the ambience with bald eagles, horned and tufted puffins, sea otters, seals, kittiwake gulls and catchable pink and sockeye salmon. We even saved a couple for dinner. Local add on options such as flyouts for bearwatching, and halibut fishing can be arranged as well. I enjoy having my coffee and watching the views across the bay as shown in the picture. We were here when the berries were ripe. Sweet and tasty. Can’t wait to return at some point in the future.

Words can’t do this place justice. Every single staff member is a gem, the food is delicious, natural beauty abundant. Tide pools, glaciers, hemlock forests, bears, otters, puffins… Our minds were blown at every turn. If you have the slightest inclination to make this happen, just do it. You will never regret it.

This is a place where magic happens. The staff is exceptional! The food is divine and the adventures surpass expectations! Each day was more magical than the next. Tide pool learning, hikes in hemlock old growth forests, hikes to a glacier lake and a trek up a snowpack ridge are just of few of the wonderful opportunities we enjoyed!!

KBWL is the most wonderful place! We have visited this lodge three times and we will definitely return again. Every staff person and guide is friendly, warm, knowledgeable and super safety oriented. In wild Alaska, this is a very comforting feeling! Every day at the lodge is different: kayaking, hiking, tidepooling, beach combing and great bird watching! Equipment is top notch and their mission is to show guests the best this corner of Alaska has to offer, in style! Guest cabins are curated for comfort and stocked with fresh wildflowers, french press coffee, teas and snacks. The food is AMAZING, with a farm-to-table approach and a cookie jar that is always full! When we are visiting we feel like family.
