Celebrating 32 years of wilderness fun and adventures with many an unsolicited award and commendation. In fact, we've never had any reason to pursue any sort of commendation. They've always just come to us from anonymous sources. That's the real plus of visiting a lodge with a long and admired history of service and accommodation. After 32 years, we are no newcomers to this business and the reward to you is our continued (and proven) high standard of customer service, good times, and positive lifetime memories.
Back under owner management for 2010 and
beyond.
 This
beautiful Wilderness Lodge is located on a privately owned,
remote beach inside Alaska's Kachemak Bay State Park, midway between the
villages of Seldovia and Halibut Cove, and only 10 miles by boat from
Homer, Alaska, the “Bear Viewing Capital of the World.” (and also the
gateway town for the Kenai Fjords National Park, Lake Clark National
Park, and Katmai National Park.)
Custom built in the mid 1970's from driftwood that was milled by hand,
piece by piece, into lumber by owner/artist Keith Iverson and accessible
only by boat, float plane, or helicopter, Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge
offers the visitor a unique opportunity to participate in Alaska's
wilderness lifestyle in a genuine, year-round, Alaskan home and lodge.
It has been said by many guests of Sadie Cove Lodge that few places on
earth can match the natural, untouched wilderness setting and natural
ecology of Sadie Cove. Built as a year-round home in 1973 and
established as a full-fledged beachfront / ancient forest / ecologically
conscious lodge in 1981, owners Keith and Randi Iverson invite you to
celebrate 38 years of residency and 30 years of full-service lodgings
in 2010.
 The early Alaskans camped here seasonally to make stone
tools and gather berries, clams, mussels, seals, and sea birds for their
subsistence. This historic link was recognized by anthropologists who
explored the bay in the 1940's searching for the middens and the cave
paintings that are on what is now the lodge property. Today, to retain
it's peaceful atmosphere, Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge serves a small
number of overnight guests only. Additional patrons are never brought in
for meals, equipment rentals, the lodge's signature tours, or sales
of any kind. With a small guest capacity and a non-commercial, homey
atmosphere, you will have the time and space to feel comfortable and
form new friendships. At Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge you can surround
yourself in wilderness, not tourists.
The Lodge is run completely on a
non-polluting, alternative energy system of wind and hydro power which
supply the entire grounds with energy to spare. The crystal clear
mountain spring water is the purest on earth and may well be the most
delicious, well oxygenated, and freshest natural water you have ever had
the opportunity to drink.
 Standing
between the dramatic vertical peaks of Sadie fjord are a variety of
accommodations in private, hand-crafted cabins - a log cabin sauna and
bath house looking over a rushing creek; five private guest cabins, a
family entertainment lounge, a relaxing dining hall with
a beautiful view of Sadie Cove, and an Alaskan sized fire pit.
Surrounding the Lodge are several trails and seacoast walks. There is a
fleet of sea kayaks for you to explore the ocean waters with and at low
tide you can see starfish, sea anemones, shells, and a tremendous
variety of sea life from your kayak or by simply walking the
beaches. The lodge staff will introduce you to sea otters, bald eagles,
seals, whales, harbor porpoise, tiny eels, bears, mountain goats, and
Alaska's unique birdlife and ancient forests.
The atmosphere is laid back, peaceful, and extraordinarily
different from the buzz of everyday life - a great place for a wedding,
a honeymoon, a holiday, a family reunion, or a long-needed rest.

Through the years, Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge has attracted
artists, writers, ecologists, conservationists, adventurers, and
peace-seekers alike yearning to experience the beauty, friendship,
service, and tranquility that can be found at this very special
place.
