Two Unique Alaska Lodges

I can't say enough about the level of service at this lovely lodge. A spectacular remote location with exceptional food. The food is 5 star, world class, great variety. Even the campfire s'mores fixings were all gourmet homemade! We did a brief cooking class/demo that was super fun. The big cooking classes done by their James Beard award chef in a kooky transformed boat look amazing. The staff makes you feel like they really WANT to be there and want you to love their piece of Alaska as much as they do. Superb caring service. If you want a 5-star resort experience in Alaska, where customer focus is key - this is your lodge.

You read reviews and you say to yourself how can it be possible that a place is so perfect. Winterlake is one of these rare places. The package just works - great accommodation - only six cabins all stunning, the culinary delights and the activities - as little or as much as you like. I think what makes this place so special is the staff. You can have all the physical trappings you like but unless you feel welcome and you get the feeling that they actually care about the individual little else matters.

Holy mackerel! I'ts going to be hard to reel in the superlatives here. My wife and I spent three incredible days and nights here recently - and we're already looking forward to our return. We've traveled extensively, but Tutka Bay is without equal in every regard - setting, facilities, equipment, service, cuisine, personnel, recreational opportunities. We are complete food snobs - but were nevertheless astounded by the culinary freaking GENIUS of the chefs at Tutka! And get a load of this - they actually overnight the best cheeses you've ever eaten (for "cocktail hour") from a gourmet cheese shop in New York! I can honestly say that we felt like honored and privileged members of the family at Tutka Bay, thanks to the incredibly friendly, articulate, well-educated, proactive, amazing staffers - more than two to every guest - who took exceptional care of us. All other superlatives aside, these folks are the heart and soul of Tutka Bay. (Thanks to all - you know who you are!) This place is not inexpensive, but it's worth every dollar. If you can afford Tutka Bay, don't hesitate - this will be one of the most memorable and wonderful experiences of your life! We will most definitely return.

When we stayed there, we got to do a wide range of activities ranging from helicopter assisted activities to other stuff on site. We saw a Caribou 30 feet away at the end as well as a brown bear, 2 black bear and 3 moose. We also went rafting which was amazing, where we saw 8 or 10 doll sheep and 2 bald eagles. In addition, the food was exquisite and the fly fishing on site was very enjoyable.
