Tucked inside the wild beauty of Kenai Fjords, our three cozy cabins and main lodge offer a truly unique Alaska experience. Located about 1 hour 15 minutes by boat from the Seward Small Boat Harbor, the property is surrounded by dramatic coastal views, pristine water, and abundant marine and land wildlife.
Bring your own food and drinks, or arrange breakfast and dinner with your hosts at the main lodge. Sports equipment and fishing gear — including kayaks, paddle boards, and rods — can be rented on-site.

Getting Here
Your adventure begins at the Seward Small Boat Harbor — the pickup address on your booking confirmation. From there, a scenic 1 hr 15 min boat ride delivers you directly to our private beach at Bowen Anchorage, where your hosts will be waiting to greet you. Walk approximately 200 feet up the trail through the rainforest to reach your cabin.
Pack warm layers, sturdy waterproof footwear, and raingear. The wilderness is the point — come prepared to embrace it.
