This beautiful Eco-Lodge is located on a privately owned, remote beach inside Alaska's Kachemak Bay State Park, midway between the villages of Seldovia and Halibut Cove, and only 10 miles by boat from Homer, Alaska, the “Bear Viewing Capital of the World.” (and also the gateway town for the Kenai Fjords National Park, Lake Clark National Park, and Katmai National Park.)
Custom built in the mid 1970's from driftwood that was milled by hand, piece by piece, into lumber by owner/operator Keith Iverson and accessible only by boat, float plane, or helicopter, Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge offers the visitor a unique opportunity to participate in Alaska's wilderness lifestyle with a couple of true Alaskan sourdoughs. It has been said by many guests of the lodge that few places on earth can match the natural, untouched wilderness setting and natural ecology of Sadie Cove. Built as a year-round home in 1973 and established as a full-fledged wilderness eco lodge in 1981, owners Keith and Randi Iverson invite you to celebrate 35 years of residency and 27 years of full-service lodgings in 2008.
The Lodge is run completely on a non-polluting, alternative energy system of wind and hydro power which supply the entire grounds with energy to spare. As the ecological guardians of Sadie Cove, we are pleased to be able to eliminate this need for fossil fuels in our lives and our business. The crystal clear mountain spring water is the purest on earth and may well be the most delicious, well oxygenated, and freshest natural water you have ever had the opportunity to drink.
Activities include bear viewing, whale watching, eco-tours, beachcombing, hiking secret nature trails for use of lodge guests only, wildlife photography, sea kayaking, glacier kayaking, river rafting, clamming, fishing, touring the neighboring villages of Seldovia and Halibut Cove, glacier touring, flightseeing, beach fires, saunas, or just relaxing in the hammock with a good book. Sea kayaks, shore-fishing, and halibut fishing gear are provided to guests at no extra charge. Full of character in every aspect, Sadie Cove is unique, personal, fun, adventurous, and positively memorable.
Through the years, Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge has attracted artists, writers, ecologists, conservationists, adventurers, and peace-seekers alike yearning to experience the beauty, friendship, service, and tranquility that can be found at this very special place.
Transportation to and from the lodge is by water taxi or helicopter depending on the conditions on the bay.
