Both houses have fully equipped kitchens, wrap-around decks with grills overlooking Lake Eyak, TV, VCR/DVD players, and free wifi internet. Our Lodge feels like home, is comfortable, spotlessly clean, and decorated with many Alaskan treasures from local adventures.
The two beautiful and unique Lodges on the property each have a separate VRBO listing. Lodge # 1 is listed as VRBO 713117....and Lodge #2 is listed as VRBO 1330574. So, if you don't find exactly what you need in one Lodge (or it is not available), please check out the other listing.
This Lodge:
Lodge #1 will comfortably fit 4-7 people...depending upon how cozy you choose to be! Photos will show the loveliness of this clean and simple chalet, which offers unparalleled mountain views all times of the day or night. This lovely chalet-type home is fully furnished, 1.5 stories, and includes a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower.There is one bedroom on the main floor that has a queen-sized bed. There is also a loft, accessed by a ladder, that offers another queen and 3 twin-sized beds. Please be sure to look at the ladder in the photos to be certain you can safely climb it! Additionally, the living room has a queen-sized sleeper sofa. The living room looks directly out to the lake and mountains, both of which are stunningly gorgeous.

We had a wonderful stay. From our morning cup of coffee on the deck overlooking the lake to our evening fire pit. We took in everything. The cabin was perfect for us. We will be back next year.

Beautiful and relaxing cabin get-away!
Absolutely stunning location, with the most thoughtful and responsive hosts! Joanie and Bob have thought of every detail, including locally made books and art, and guidebooks to the natural and human history of the area. The cabin was super clean and cozy, and well stocked with everything we needed. We slept like babies in the amazing loft. We loved our stay and will be back!

Quiet cozy corner on Lake Eyak
I really like the guidebook, it was full of information about Cordova, tons to do, places to eat. Natalie, the property manager, also recommended a few places. There were also lots of cool books to read, some games, and puzzles to entertain ourselves with as well as a Roku if we wanted to stream something. Would definitely stay again.

Warm and inviting
Beautiful cabin a short drive from the ferry terminal right on the shore of Eyak Lake. This place is immaculately clean and has all of the amenities that you might need. It has beautiful tongue and groove vaulted ceilings and numerous windows for a cozy yet spacious feel. The hosts are very communicative and make themselves available for any assistance that you may need. This is the perfect base for your Cordova adventures.

Peaceful, Lovely Lakeside Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay - the views of the mountains and the lake through the changing weather were really special, and the rental had everything we needed. We enjoyed the deck and listening to the birds. It’s a little ways out of town, but no problem with a car, and being lakeside is worth a little distance.

We are very happy with the cabin experience.
The cabin is so close to town so getting by to get supplies and food was easy. Our stay was convenient and the cabin is very cozy. My son loved the loft! The cabin has everything we needed. The owners are very friendly and on time when we needed assistance. Thank you Bob and Joan!

Little slice of heaven
My husband, myself and boys ages 8 & 10 loved staying here. The view can't be beat, and Bob and Joanie are fabulous. We visited friends in Cordova and were out and about every day hiking, fishing and exploring which worked out well as the common and dining area is pretty compact. The cabin was very clean and had some very nice touches. Would love to go back sometime.

About the host
Hosted by Joan and Robert Behrends
Bob and Joanie, the new owners of the Lodge, welcome you to their back yard. They live on the same lake (1/2 mile away), they LOVE Cordova, and their priorities include family, friends, visitors, and God.
Not necessarily in that order....
Not necessarily in that order....
Why they chose this property
Cordova is a plethora of stunning sights and earthy smells and lively personalities. We cannot drive home without feeling blessed to live here, as we look at Queen's Chair. We cannot walk down the streets without seeing someone stop in the middle of the road to say "hi". And we cannot go through a year without some new great Alaskan story. It's a wild, constant adventure....all mixed up with moments of serenity.
What makes this property unique
We chose to buy this particular property because the neighborhood is gentle and quiet....the spectacular views change by the moment...and the time was right to start a new adventure.It will only take an evening watching the colors on the mountains to see why anyone would love this place.... come see.
