All rooms feature blackout curtains to provide our guests a restful nights sleep.
OUTDOOR PATIO:
In the evenings, unwind on the cabin's private deck, where you can watch the sunset over the bay and enjoy a BBQ dinner cooked on the outdoor grill. And when you're ready to retire for the night, you'll fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the water lapping against the shore.
The biggest draw of our cabin is the incredible outdoor opportunities that await you. The Kachemak Bay State Park is a hiker's paradise, with over 200 miles of trails that wind through this stunning landscape. You can also explore the park by kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard, taking in the breathtaking views of glaciers, mountains, and wildlife. For fishermen, the waters of Halibut Cove are teeming with trophy halibut, salmon, and rockfish, and there are several local charter companies that can take you out on the water for an unforgettable day of fishing.
With a unique combination of adventure and leisure on the edge of the wilderness, there’s no better way to have an authentic Alaskan trip of a lifetime. No matter how you prefer to spend your Alaska vacation, we’re excited to help you create a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the Last Frontier!
