Introduction
The emphasis at the lodge is on viewing wildlife and exploring the lakes surrounding the lodge within the natural setting of the spectacular Chigmit Mountains.
The atmosphere at Redoubt Bay Lodge is pleasantly casual and “outdoorsy” and the rustic setting is best suited for those who wish to explore this unique and wild setting.
Redoubt Bay Lodge, located at the entrance to Lake Clark Pass, offers the only accommodations within a 171,000 acre critical habitat area, and is the only 5 acre privately owned property in the region. This small, rustic lodge sits on a small knoll overlooking Big River Lakes, a chain of lakes whose waters lead to the Big River and into Cook Inlet. Redoubt Bay Lodge is located 50 minutes southwest of Anchorage. The flight via float plane offers spectacular scenic views of the Cook Inlet and the western edge of the Kenai Peninsula.
The small main lodge is a hand-hewn historic log cabin that houses the dining facilities and the kitchen, where all lodge meals are prepared. There is a small reference library as well as games, stationery, and postcards for writing home.
Lakeside Cabin
This cabin demonstrates typical “Alaska bush” construction of a log cabin. There is a simple private bath and two bedrooms, sleeping five and two people respectively. The cabin is heated by a wood stove located in the small front room for relaxing. The lodge provides linen and daily housekeeping service.
Trailside Cabin
This open-style cabin offers 1 queen bed, 1 twin bed in one room, a private bath, and a pleasant view of the lake from its deck. It is close to the main lodge. The cabin has a cosy couch by the wood stove. The lodge provides linen and daily housekeeping service.
Hillside Cabin
A short but slightly steep walk beyond the Main Lodge is where the Hillside Cabin is located. This cabin offers 1 queen bed, 1 twin bed in an open-style one room setting, and a private bath. The cabin is heated by a wood stove. The lodge provides linen and daily housekeeping service.
