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.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful spot you have picked out for your home and the top notch hospitality. I invite others to experience what cannot be described with words and pictures. One of the most spectacular places on earth. Truly the trip of a lifetime with memories and new friends we will cherish forever.
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!
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.
Unbelievable experience! From daily limits of fish, fantastic scenery, the bears, the whales, porpoises, and the food!! The Robbins’ hospitality is second to none. We will never forget you and will always treasure the time spent here.
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.
Raspberry Island Remote (Lodge) turned out to be the highest point in a trip where nothing was low.
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.
Thanks so much for another great trip! Good fishing, sight-seeing, beach combing, and food!!
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!
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.
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!
We…leave with the kind of regret you feel when you leave family behind. Our intent was to escape work and experience Alaska together…..All was achieved on a grand scale—we celebrated reeling in those big fish and kayaking along magnificent scenery (even spotting a bear close to us on a rocky shore) together….What a wonderful, peaceful, secluded fun spot managed by delightful people….
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.
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.
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.
