Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge in Alaska is a unique off the grid vacation just miles from the bear viewing capital of the world.
Tucked inside Alaska’s Kachemak Bay State Park, Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge is located on a privately owned, remote beach that is only accessible by boat, float plane, or helicopter. The lodge was built from driftwood that was salvaged from the beaches of Kachemak Bay and milled by hand, piece by piece, into lumber and constructed without preservatives, chemicals, or oils of any kind.
Sadie Cove is completely off the grid and runs on hydro-electric power which is supplied from a mountain stream and a wind power generator. Wild, ocean-run seafood is served along with fresh, organic produce, some of which is grown in the garden on the grounds. What’s also unique is that the early Alaskans camped on the property of Sadie Cove seasonally to make stone tools and gather berries, clams, mussels, seals, and sea birds for their subsistence. Old paintings can still be found in caves along the grounds.
Sadie Cove accommodates just eight lucky guests at a time and has spectacular views with plenty of activities to enjoy such as hiking, sea kayaking, sailing, fishing, and whale and wildlife viewing. Awarded and recognized extensively by the media, this unique property is a great way to get away from the chaos of everyday life.
If you go: Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge is just 10 miles from the bear viewing capital of the world. Rates start at $450USD per night and are all-inclusive.
