"Set on a private island in Resurrection Bay, these waterfront yurt-style accommodations combine rustic charm with modern comforts—each yurt features a queen bed, futon, fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom with running water, and a deck over the water—making it an ideal base for sea-based wildlife encounters. Guests have access to kayaks, rowboats, SUPs, and fishing gear to explore quiet coves and salmon streams in search of seals, otters, and whales, plus hiking trails, an island art gallery, and communal fire-pit gatherings that foster a social island atmosphere." - Bailey Berg
