The Lodge at Otter Cove

Enjoy the serenity of this intimate, all-inclusive lodge, which sits on a private beach just a 20-minute water taxi ride from Homer. Family-run and completely renovated in 2022, the Lodge at Otter Cove offers four cozy, rustic cabins, 3 delicious meals a day, and a variety of activities to choose from.

You’ll begin your stay with a trip across the bay on the lodge’s own water taxi. When you step out, you’ll be surrounded by just the sounds of nature, as you’ll be surrounded by Kachemak Bay State Park. It’s the perfect place to unwind and unplug (but not to worry—the lodge has Wi-Fi), gaze out at the shimmering water, and listen to the gentle lapping of the waves.

Choose your Cabin

The 4 cozy cabins each have their own deck and outdoor seating area. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable, remodeled space with high-end, custom-built beds, as well as down comforters and full private bathrooms, plus ample storage space. Two cabins have two rooms each; one with two queen-size beds and a double murphy bed, the other with two queen-size beds. The other two cabins have one room with two queen-size beds.

3 Meals a Day & Dessert Around the Campfire

When it comes to dining, the Lodge at Otter Cove knows the joy that great food served in a welcoming environment can bring. Breakfast is either sit-down or grab-and-go, depending on your activity for the day. For lunch, you can build your own masterpiece at the sandwich bar and add chips and dessert. Dinners always include a plated main dish, plus a second entrée option in a cast-iron skillet. And, you can take advantage of appetizers or dessert cooked over a campfire (perhaps a pizza or a decadent berry cobbler) and served on the beach…as long as the weather cooperates!

Choose Your Adventure

Then choose a fun activity each day—like fishing, hiking, kayaking, (or bear watching for an additional charge)—led by expert guides. Opt for the premium package and you’ll also have options like a wildlife and waterfall eco-cruise, Ring of Fire flightseeing, or an evening dinner cruise. You may, for example, paddle in calm water out to a private lunch spot, looking for puffins, sea otters dolphins, and whales, with Alaska’s stunning scenery creating the dramatic backdrop. Then paddle back to the lodge for another amazing meal and some time gazing out at the tranquil waters.
