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
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.
In two short days we have seen whales, bears, otters, fox, eagles, and puffins, thank you the Robbins family.
Raspberry Island Remote Lodge rounded up our 10-day trip to Alaska-and it was the trip’s highlight! Nowhere else did we find this abundance of unspoiled nature and wildlife, this special tranquility and serenity. On our arrival day Birch took the time to show us the feeding grounds of the whales, then the playgrounds of the otters, and finally the rock of the sea-lions-an unforgettable day! Seeking the Grizzlies at Frasier Lake, being very close to them without feeling threatened, was an impressive experience; a walk with Jack along the shoreline showed the unspoiled beauty of Raspberry Strait. Finally we kayaked a full day in the area, accompanied by eagles, otters and whales…
Thanks so much for another great trip! Good fishing, sight-seeing, beach combing, and food!!
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.
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!
…we have had stellar five days …. Fishing has been superb, meals fabulous, bear viewing and kayaking a great time for my boys. We venture back to the hot, humid East Coast with heavy hearts but fond memories (and plenty of fish). Hope to be back again soon.
Amazing place! We had a wonderful time, everything was well done. The staff was so friendly and fun to be around. The meals were fantastic and the fishing was great, the boat captains were top notch, and fun to be with. The surroundings where absolutely beautiful. We have been to other lodges but this lodge is by far the best we have ever been to!
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!
I find myself smiling some days thinking of what a wonderful place Raspberry Island is. Great people, fishing, food, views…. You know!
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.
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.

First time to Alaska, and this was the the best. 3 days fishing and one day bear view... Our cabin was beautiful, cozy and comfortable. Slept like a baby each night... It was just a super place, super people. Birch and Tiffany, their kids and the crew, along with friends we made – everyone was super easy to get along. We had the best best time and will always recommend Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge!
Immediately felt at home when we got there! We were genuinely welcomed to the Island and instantly felt a connection to Birch, Tiffany, staff and even the other guests. It was amazing and a special glimpse into Alaska. Fishing was surreal as we not only caught amazing fish, but did it surrounded by such beautiful scenery and wildlife like whales, otters, puffins, etc. The Bear viewing was also incredible because we saw so many awesome bears showing off their personality and loved the seaplane ride out. One of our favorite things though was the late night evening around the dinner table, singing songs as another guest played guitar, drinking too much wine/scotch, and laughing with people we just met like we had known them for years!
