SUMMER
May 26 – September 26
Fishing, Sea Kayaking, Hiking, Fly-out Bear Viewing, and Wildlife Cruises
Set among the Sitka spruce and salmonberry bushes on our property, at the foot of a mountain and on the edge of the sea, our eight private guest cabins, central main lodge, and Nordic-themed spa emphasize comfort within the surrounding wilderness. Many guests come for the fishing, but others choose to build their stay around a mix of outdoor experiences.
Our family has shaped Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge for over four decades, spanning three generations, for new and returning travelers who value Alaska’s wilderness without surrendering comfort, safety, or thoughtful care. We invite you to join us here and experience what makes this part of Alaska so special.
FALL
September 31 – December 13
Roosevelt Elk, Sitka Black-Tailed Deer, and Sea Ducks
Raspberry Island and nearby Southwest Afognak Island are home to Alaska’s Roosevelt elk and Sitka black-tailed Deer. The waters between these islands provide important wintering habitat for harlequin, Barrows goldeneye, long-tailed ducks, scoters, red-breasted and common mergansers, and other puddlers.
Our modern, off-grid, oceanfront wilderness lodge serves as a safe and comfortable base of operations, offering unguided daily boat drop-off and pick-up hunts for elk and deer, along with fully guided fair chase hunts for sea duck species collection. We invite you to join us here—enjoy the hunting part of your hunt, let us take care of the rest.
What Our Guests Say
Here for a week of fun, activity, rest and relaxation, I have enjoyed the days tremendously. I love finding new things to do and try and this trip had many of those.
We are return clients to KRIRL, with another trip planned for 2025. It’s just that special of a place! On this trip, we fished for silvers, kings, halibut, rock fish and lingcod. The fishing and hospitality of Birch and Tiffany are first class. You feel like family the moment you arrive. I can’t say enough positive things about Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge. If you’re looking for cozy accommodations and world class fishing, KRIRL is the place for you.
Thank you for everything. Everyone I have talked to has asked about the Raspberry Island experience and I have found it turns out to be a 30 to 45 minute description. You know this is weird but I cannot stop thinking about that area and everything that makes it special.
A dream come true! Years of talking about a fishing trip to Alaska is finally a reality with experiences we will remember forever. We met great people and were treated with the highest respect and greatest accommodations. The fishing was better then expected and the scenery was out of this world. You made this father-son fishing trip our best ever!
Honestly, I don’t know where to begin. From the moment Mark and Andy started planning this trip, I have been replaying our previous Alaska vacations in my mind. Each one was different, floating, bare boating, lots of fishing–BUT nothing prepared me for your wonderful lodge experience! I have never felt so instantly welcomed, so involved and so satisfied at the end of the day. Thank you for all of your hard work and kindness…. And of course, the big bonus-lots of fish and crab!
Our experience was worth every penny and we recommend Raspberry Island Remote Lodge to anyone who would like to experience the beauty, wildlife and fishing that Alaska has to offer. Thanks Birch!
I’ve fished out of several camps and lodges and Raspberry Island Remote (Lodge) is the best by a long shot. I wouldn’t change a thing. The fish and fishing was better than I expected and the hospitality was the best.
We thank you for the fantastic days. We will never forget your hospitality and your effort to make our stay a memory for life.
Wonderful 5 days of fishing and relaxing. Taking home plenty of halibut, salmon and crab-limited on all 2 days, last day of ‘fun fishing’ incredible, I caught and released over 15 Silvers and uncounted Pinks on flies and spinners. Birch did a great job putting us on the fish and keeping us relaxed with the conversation. I’ve fished Alaska before but this is the only place that I’m already planning to come back to. Wonderful people, wonderful fishing, wonderful site. 5 stars on everything.
Truly wondrful place, must be because this is our sixth trip!! No better place to unplug, enjoy the remoteness, enjoy great fishing, and be treated like family.

Thank you so much for sharing your home and Kodiak Island. My adventure was incredible, as incredible as your hospitality. My memories of this place will be unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back and make more, especially to share them with my family and friends.
What a great setting and excellent meals. We enjoyed the hospitality and the fishing. Our bear watch in Katmai was successful as well as three days of great fishing. Raspberry….does provide for the complete Alaska Experience. We hope to return soon.
What another wonderful stay at Raspberry Island! The level of comfort provided by Tiffany, Birch and staff makes this one of the best lodges in Alaska. The food was great, the fishing was outstanding and the facilities are top notch. The ability to fish for different species and to fish in several different locations in one day makes this area very unique.
Thanks again for a wonderful stay at Raspberry Island. All of us are raving about the fantastic hospitality and accommodations offered by you and the staff. The fishing was fantastic. The meals were fantastic. The kayaking and hiking were fantastic. You surpassed our expectations and provided us an experience we will never forget.
