"Set on 35 oceanfront acres at the mouth of a seven-mile fjord in Kachemak Bay, this intimate lodge comprises six distinct cabins decorated with seasonal touches and stocked with local mini-bar items; it pairs outdoor exploration—kayaking to hidden coves, hiking alpine meadows, float-plane trips to see bears, and deep-sea salmon fishing—with a strong culinary focus led by two renowned Alaskan chefs. Guests can participate in foraging and hands-on cooking classes, visit a local oyster farm for dinner ingredients, and sample products from the on-site salt distilling station, making the property notable for combining authentic local foodways with immersive outdoor activities." - Bailey Berg
