Once people arrive at the lodge, most just want to stay put, relax in our big huge living room, ride bikes, paddle kayaks, play tennis, sit in the hot tub or sauna, enjoy scenic nature strolls, hammocks or just eat and do nothing.

Bikes

We have a collection of new, aluminum, 7-speed, twist grip shifter, big tired bicycles you can use to explore the property or neighbourhood. Pedal to the local pub for a pint. Pass by the park for a peek. Exercise off your breakfast. All we ask is that you're back in an hour and a half (so others can use them).

Kayaks

Our kayaks are excellent for people who haven't kayaked much, or at all. They are very stable. You can cruise up and down the shoreline and commune with the waterfowl and maybe see a seal or two. If our 90 minute time limit isn't long enough, we have friends that rent the real super sea kayaks for those of you who want the full kayaking experience.

Walks

The property features an interesting network of trails around our 165 acres. Short walks, long walks, very easy or a little bit challenging, we have them all. There is also a 375 acre park a short, you guessed it, walk from the lodge. Pick up one of our nature guides ($2.00) to enhance your stroll.

Hot Tub

We just finished the new one in 1999. It has a fabulous ocean view, change room, indoor and outdoor showers and a cozy little sauna right there.

Tennis Courts

There are two nice courts in the woods. Nothing too fancy or organized, no sign up times, just show up and maybe play doubles if there are a lot of people waiting (doesn't happen often). Forgot your racket? We can lend you one.

Boat Tours

During July and August, on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday mornings, (weather permitting) we take guests out for a tour of the surrounding islands on our 1944, 32-foot ex-navy lifeboat. No extra charge, just sign up and enjoy our "three hour tour" (well, maybe 2 hours). Check out the seals, the amazing wind eroded cliffs of Valdez Island and be sure to look for the "incredible overhanging tree".

Lounge

Not really a "lounge" as we use word today. Its really just a big (30'x60') living room with a great view of the ocean, a giant fireplace and lots of big, stuffy couches and chairs. Classical music or light jazz is featured, never the radio. Choose the beverage of you choice from the office (beer, wine, liquors or a selection of non-alcoholic favorites) and relax and converse with your friends, old or new.

Property

The lodge property is mostly wilderness. Only a portion was logged over 80 years ago and the rest of it is still old-growth forest. Most of the gigantic old fir and cedar trees are there for you to enjoy. We have a network of trails to get you around most of the property. There is over a mile and a half of waterfront, some rocky bluff and some white crushed shell beaches. The point has mostly southern exposure for nice sunny days. Mother Nature is the official landscaper.
