A sheltered oasis in untamed Kachemak Bay State Park, the lodge lies just north of Tutka Bay, midway between Seldovia and Halibut Cove, and only ten miles by boat from Homer, Alaska, the “Bear Viewing Capital of the World” and the gateway town for the Kenai Fjords National Park, Lake Clark National Park, and Katmai National Park.
Custom built in the mid 1970s from driftwood that was milled by hand, piece by piece, into lumber by owner/operator Keith Iverson and accessible only by boat, float plane, or helicopter, Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge offers the visitor a unique opportunity to participate in Alaska's wilderness lifestyle with a couple of true Alaskan sourdoughs. Built as a year-round home in 1973 and established as a full-fledged wilderness lodge in 1981, owners Keith and Randi Iverson invite you to celebrate 35 years of residency and 27 years of full-service lodgings in 2008.
Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge serves only a small number of overnight guests. Additional patrons are never brought in for meals, equipment rentals, day tours, or sales of any kind. With a small guest capacity and a non-commercial, homey atmosphere, you will have the time and space to feel comfortable and form new friendships. At Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge you can surround yourself in wilderness, not tourists.
The lodge is run completely on a non-polluting alternative energy system of wind and hydro power which supply the entire grounds with energy to spare. As guardians of our environment, we are pleased to be able to eliminate this need for fossil fuels in our lives and our business. The crystal clear mountain spring water is the purest on earth and may well be the most delicious, well oxygenated, and freshest natural water you have ever had the opportunity to drink.
Standing between the dramatic vertical peaks of Sadie fjord are a variety of accommodations in private, hand-crafted cabins - a sauna and bath house next to a rushing creek; a family entertainment lounge; a dining hall complete with professional chef and an Alaskan sized fire pit.
The atmosphere is laid back, peaceful, and extraordinarily different from the buzz of everyday life - a great place for a wedding, a honeymoon, a holiday, a family reunion, or a long-needed rest.
Activities include bear viewing, beachcombing, hiking secret nature trails for use of lodge guests only, wildlife photography, sea kayaking, glacier kayaking, river rafting, clamming, fishing, touring the neighboring villages of Seldovia and Halibut Cove, glacier touring, flightseeing, beach fires, saunas, or just relaxing in the hammock with a good book. Sea kayaks, shore-fishing, and halibut fishing gear are provided to guests at no extra charge. Full of character in every aspect, Sadie Cove is unique, personal, fun, adventurous, and positively memorable.
Through the years, Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge has attracted artists, writers, adventurers, and peace-seekers alike yearning to experience the beauty, friendship, service, and tranquility that can be found at this very special place. |
