Tutka Bay Wilderness Lodge

Frommer's Review

Jon and Nelda Osgood's personalities are reflected in the amazing place they've built -- open and enthusiastic, perfectionist and safety conscious, clean-cut but truly Alaskan. On pilings and on a narrow, grassy isthmus by the green water of the Tutka Bay fjord, they've put together what amounts to an upscale hotel in the wilderness, with cabins connected by long boardwalks, a deck large enough for a helicopter to land on, and a kitchen capable of producing gourmet meals. It's quite a feat -- the water system alone is a wonder. There's plenty to do: guided tide-pool and forest walks, bird-watching, hiking, berry picking, rowing, fishing from the dock, and other activities around the lodge; you can pay extra for guided fishing or kayaking, bear-viewing flights, and other outdoor experiences that go farther afield.
