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
A must stay! Plan that trip, book that trip and be ready for the best vacation. Unplug and enjoy!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the lodge and on the boats! Great fishery, lots of variety, and consistent catches. The whole operation is so well run and the hospitality is outstanding. Thanks for a great experience!
Our stay here on Raspberry Island has been amazing! It was everything we thought it would be an much much more! I think we saw every animal you could possibly see! We came within 30 ft of a huge Finback Whale in our kayaks, and even closer to the Alaskan Brown Bear! Fishing was a Blast! We loved watching the Eagles feast after Birch cleaned our Fish! The food was out of this world! You will definitely not go hungry!
Amazing place with so much attention to detail! It was the perfect family vacation and had something for every member of our family. We especially enjoyed the staff. They all worked extremely hard to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. I don’t know how we are ever going to top this one.
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.
Thoreau had his Walden Pond, his serene, peaceful, beautiful bit of the wonder of Nature. Anyone visiting Raspberry Island, its Remote Camp, the exquisite beauty of the forested hill sides falling precipitously towards inviting fishing waters, has found their own magical Walden Pond, here in this spot. Add to this, warm hospitality…and you have a very special inviting repose. Thank you for all of this, memories long to be cherished, and especially the “best carrot cake” in the world. Till we meet again.
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.
We have had a delightful, if all too brief, first visit to Raspberry Island. We have been planning this trip for years and imagining the place, but the reality far outweighs the imagining. The hospitality has been delightful and the environment wonderful. We will be taking home heavy boxes of fish, but the memories will far outweigh that!
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.
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!
What a fun week spending our time eating fantastic food and drinking good beer mingled in with tracking bears and chasing whales. Thank you for your kind hospitality. Hope to see you again next year!
Got to spend the week with my Son – so it had to be good. The silvers were hit and miss for a while and then ended with a bang! Caught 2 82 lb butt-fish and my fly rod is aching. Great setting, food and hosts! My expectations were high and they were exceeded in every way! Thanks Robbins!
Words can not describe how lucky we are to have met such a wonderful family and a place so magnificent. This IS heaven on earth. The food was delicious and all the dinners were especially first class. Thank you for the bear viewing, the kayaking, hiking, fishing…Thank you again for sharing one of many Alaskan treasures. We look forward to our next visit.
Birch, Tiffany, et al…. thank you for such a wonderful experience. you have opened your home, cabins and hearts to us. everyone who works here is caring and believes in the mission of Raspberry Island Remote. You feel how special this place is the moment you walk off the boat until you walk balk on to leave for the last time. tank you for great memories, thank you for being special people and tank you for a great life experience.
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.
