We loved our stay--wish it could have been longer

We had a great time at the cabin and enjoyed the outdoor beauty of it's surrounding area. Our time there was ideal--from kayaking on the lake, hiking, a day trip to Valdez, fishing, relaxing in the hammock, to our fish fry and smores on the open fire. The cabin had everything we needed a wonderful stay.

Will be back!

The ultimate relaxing weekend, my partner and I enjoyed every moment. Favorite activity was kayaking around the lake, watching the fish jump, enjoying the end of the Alaskan summer. This would be a great place to stop on the way to or from Valdez, and we will definitely make this a yearly getaway. Right off the highway but still private, didn’t see anyone else on the lake. Clean and fully stocked with everything we didn’t know we even needed. Super kind hosts who obviously love showing off this state and the cabin life- the property feels truly Alaskan- rustic but beautiful, quirky touches, outdoorsy- and the pride of ownership shows through. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable trip to Lodge 88, we will be back!

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! 💕 Reading your words truly made our day. You described exactly what we hope our guests experience at Lodge 88 — a chance to slow down, enjoy the lake, soak up a little Alaska, and simply make some wonderful memories. There’s something pretty special about paddling around the lake, watching the fish jump, and feeling like you have the whole place to yourselves. 🥰 We’re so happy you were able to enjoy those last beautiful days of an Alaskan summer. And hearing that Lodge 88 felt “truly Alaskan” to you might just be our favorite compliment! We put a lot of love into this quirky little lakeside place, and it means more than you know when our guests feel that. Thank you for choosing Lodge 88 for your getaway. We would absolutely LOVE to have you make it a yearly tradition — we’ll have the kayaks waiting! 💕🛶

Lodge 88

We had a wonderful stay for three nights. House was very clean and had many amenities. Property was beautiful! We were able to use the kayaks and rowboat on the lake bybthe house. It was very easy to stay in touch with the owners. They answered all of our questions promptly. We hated to leave!

Blessed & Renewed

As a family of 5 (with teens) we had an amazing time, we relaxed, cooked together, played games and had the opportunity to spend quality time as a family. We made memories in this lovely property. This house hands down is the best ever! We’ve traveled to different states but this one takes the 1st place. It’s fully equipped from the kitchen, laundry room to every room! Loved our game nights, relaxed by the fire place and took walks on the property. We highly recommend this property. Oh plus there’s the glacier view a couple of miles away. Don’t think twice book this place there’s plenty of activities you can do with your family. The Mendez Family

It was a very easy process to rent the cabin for the week. The owner stayed in touch with us and always got back to us quickly when we had questions. I would recommend this cabin!

What a fabulous place! This out of the way house on wonderful little lake was perfect!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place, the lake with boats and kayaks, fishing gear and a beautiful house stocked with almost anything you could need for a great week. Would absolutely stay again it’s a little far from stores but close to a glacier and incredible scenery.

Beautiful house with all of the comforts of home!

This house is a little farther from town than we would have liked but it was absolutely beautiful. We had everything we needed for our stay and truly enjoyed the house and the lake. The kayaks were very enjoyable. We watched a Moose and her calf graze outside the window… wow! The fish were jumping constantly but we were unable to catch any. Already dreaming of coming back!!!

Picture perfect

We absolutely loved Lodge 88. There was so much to do with the row boat, kayaks and well stocked fishing equipment. The mornings were so peaceful watching the animals in the lake. The house was very clean and kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The location for the glacier trek and white water rafting couldn’t have been better! This lodge is at the top of our list for favorite places we have stayed. Thank you Marlin for always answering my questions quickly. You have a great place!

Family reunion

Our two sons and their families joined us for three nights. The cabin was perfect. The fishing was fun for everyone and close to trails for day excursions. We may make this an annual event.

Excellent property!!

Home is very well-equipped with appliances, entertainment and even condiments. I would recommend buying bottled water because it has well water with iron which made drinks and pasta taste bad. Home is as described, however I wish it wasn't so close to the main road, noise was an issue at night. Excellent lakefront fishing and wildlife sightings.

Relaxing

Great place to relax. We went at the end of October for a birthday weekend even though it was chilly we have a wonderful time. We are thinking of coming back in the summer to be able to use the lake.

Amazing lake cabin!!

Beautiful relaxing stay at Lodge 88, farther out from town than I realized and only texting capabilities of you’re in the house but not a big deal when you have swans to admire and moose right in your front yard wading in the lake that you caught dinner in! We loved staying here, perfect place to stay in Alaska for the first time!

Small slice of heaven

Quite possibly the best VRBO I've ever rented. The lake location, mountain views and privacy is unbeatable. Any anglers dream come true with an entire room of fishing rods, bait, tackle, life jackets of all sizes. The layout of the house was so spacious and nicely spread out. Great places to gather, but also easy to get away and go take a nap. We loved the porch and hammocks. As soon as I finish this review, I'm taking a look at calendar to book again! This place is so unforgettable. I'll be daydreaming of it until I'm back again.
