Lodging

Some Alaska Lodges are in remote locations and operate off a generator.  However, at Larsen Bay Lodge we have electricity!  We are located on the outskirts of a remote village of approximately 70 residents adjoining a 2 million acre refuge - but there is a hydroelectric plant supplying electricity!  So that means you don’t have to listen to a generator and then use a flashlight after they turn the generator off for the night. Instead you can fish or hunt all day, come home, take a hot shower, if necessary wash and dry wet clothes, watch Sports Center after dinner, or plug in your video camera and watch highlights of your day afield!  In the morning if you like, you can watch CNN or the Weather Channel before heading of for another day of adventure. You can call home any time you like.  Larsen Bay Lodge offers the best of both worlds!  You can have your cake and eat it too!

Our deluxe beachfront accommodations include 2 lodges and 2 private cabins. We are located on the beach so many of our rooms have incredible bay views. The main lodge has a large dining area with a beautiful stone fireplace. Social areas are equipped with satellite TV, card table and pool table. Suites and cabins have queen size beds, private bathrooms and decks.  New for 2006 is a Laser Shot hunting simulator!

Prepare to be pampered!

Food

The food service we offer is exquisite.  All meals are provided.  We serve a large breakfast, and lunches are either cooked on the shore by the guide, or are prepared in our kitchen and packed to go!  The chef features new entrees daily.  The menu includes a variety of seafood and meats.  Our abundant and varied desserts will satisfy any sweet tooth!

Shore Lunches are a real treat.  As you ply the river for acrobatic hard-fighting salmon you will notice the smell of smoke wafting in the breeze.  Depending on how close you are to the cook fire, you may next hear a faint sizzle and later pick up on the scent of potatoes frying.  You begin to salivate and then a salmon almost snatches the rod from your hand and brings you back to the task at hand!

After you land your fish, you look anxiously back at the swirl of smoke from the cook fire.  You can now smell the fresh salmon that you caught earlier that morning cooking and you vacillate between making another cast or laying down your rod and feeling the warmth of the fire and inhaling the rich aroma of a hot lunch.  Uncontrollably you drift toward the fire and discover your fishing partners already there!  There is nothing much better than a well-earned shore lunch!

…Well there may be something better. How about all-you-can-eat fresh steamed snow crabs from your crab pot?  We can arrange for you to obtain a permit for a crab pot we will set together. The crab pot is placed in about 300’ of water and the crabs couldn’t be any fresher.  We steam them the same day will pull the pot.  Served with drawn butter, the crab melts in your mouth.  But be warned!  Once you have had fresh steamed crabs, you may never want to eat them in a restaurant again!

These are just a few highlights of the delightful meals you will enjoy when you come to Larsen Bay Lodge!
