This was the absolute highlight of our Alaskan vacation. We spent 11 days in Alaska in July 2010 with time in Seward, Whittier, Anchorage and Denali before we arrived in Kodiak. We'd had such an awesome time already that Birch and Tiffany had their work cut out for them in regards to measuring up to our experiences already, bu they sure did! The lodge is amazing with a fabulous view. Bald eagles swoop by regularly especially after the daily catch is cleaned. The cabins are clean and comfortable but let's be honest, you don't come all that way to stay in the cabin. Birch arranged for us to go on a bear viewing excursion to Katmai the day we arrived on Kodiak which was breath taking to be so close to such an awesome animal. Then we flew to the lodge. The next day we all went ocean fishing and caught about 80lbs worth of Salmon and Halibut to take home. We threw out a crab pot in the morning and Tiffany prepared the dozen snow crab we caught which was so fresh it tasting. The next day my wife and I fished again with another couple staying at the resort while our kids relaxed at the lodge and my parents went sea kayaking. Again we caught another 40lbs of fish and everyone else had a great time with what they did. The food was amazing! Tiffany is a great cook and is eager to accommodate any request. We even took our 2 year old daughter who had a blast playing with their kids. I would highly recommend anyone to consider this part of their Alaskan vacation and we can't wait to make a return trip to Raspberry Island!
