ABSOLUTELY the best lodge we have ever been to. 5 star dining and suites with fireplaces and hottubs in Alaska! My husband and I have traveled to many lodges in Alaska and around the world. We are used to hotels such as the Ritz Carleton and Four Seasons. Many lodges like to refer to themselves as "high end or luxury lodges". Very ...
This trip was the best vacation we have had. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to have fun fishing, bear watching, and fine food all combined in one trip. We had four days of the best salt water fising, catching 25-30 pound king salmons everyday, limits of choe salmon and yellow eye, and we caught a 60 pound halibit as well as ...

Amazing lodge!!!

The first night in Sitka was spent at the Sitka Hotel which by most standards is a few steps below Motel 6. I had begun to worry about the way our fishing adventure was beginning. We were picked up by Dove Island staff the next morning at 5am and went to the island which was a complete turnaround from where we had been the night before. Very ...

The most unprofessional lodge in Alaska. I found the staff and owners to be remiss in what they profess to provide. Stay clear of this lodge. Unethical.

Alaska in all it's glory

The first thing I noticed from the moment I stepped onto Dove Island was the total peace I felt. The seclusion makes you feel all the more like the staff is there just for you, and they are. The staff attends to your every need if possible. The lodge remindes me of a comforable family cabin. The food is the best and freshest ( usually caught that ...
