Yakutat Lodge - Yakutat, Alaska

This was our first time visiting Yakutat and the Situk, and we had plenty of expectations. Good fishing and good hospitality were key to our trip hopes. I can tell you that Yakutat Lodge was not just good, they were excellent! Fantastic guide services that provided personal best experiences not only in fish but also in personal connections with the guides (Ryan, Mike and Tyson) . The food was far beyond simply consistent in the ordinary meal fare, but the specials went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Kudos to the chef and all the providers for wonderful meals (Bree, Edward and others) . The wait staff was attentive and enjoyable, not only providing for our meal needs but also enjoying conversations regarding the local area and life in Yakutat. |And then there is the organizing staff and ownership. Cody was fantastic and very personable. He helped to make sure our experience was immensely enjoyable. He was willing to help and address any lodging or logistical concerns we may have encountered. He was such a blessing. Craig was always checking with us and providing up to date options for us in the uncertainty of weather and access to fishing and services. He does good at organizing and provision, but is also great hospitality. And not to forget, our fish cleaner Jaydon, she was helpful, friendly and well skilled at preserving our catch and helping us get it organized for travel. What an amazing group to work and enjoy this fishing adventure with. Blessings to all the crew! We will be returning whenever we get our own plans in working order and Yakutat Lodge will be our first call.

We ate two meals here while in Yakutat: lunch and dinner. Both were good, but the dinner was outstanding and as good as any you'd have anywhere! Fresh halibut cooked to perfection with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Thanks!

Hit the sockeye season with help from the Lodge. All the guides were fantastic: Mason, Mike, Luke were all really knowledgeable and help us catch more fish than I could have imagined. Food at the lodge was great, and everyone was helpful. Trip of a lifetime.

Awesome experience. Great place to bring the family. The staff is unbelievable. And make you feel like family. Craig, Cody and Adam are the best.

This is a hard review to write because Yakutat Lodge is geared up for fishing trips, which is not what I was there for. |The lodge is right by the airport (literally step out of the terminal into the lodge) which was really convenient for me. Should you want to go into the town, there is a local taxi that'll take you for $40 round trip- there's not much in Yakutat though!|My room was well decorated and clean with a decent shower, toiletries and lots of coffee. |There was no wardrobe or hanging rail for clothes though and the hot water pressure for the sinks was awful.|The reataurant/ bar on site is open pretty much all day and the food was really good, particularly the pulled pork burger. |The service in the restaurant let it down. The young guy in the evening was nice but rushed off his feet whilst the man serving at breakfast and lunch was the rudest man I've ever encountered and made me feel quite uncomfortable.|The guys in the office/ reception were all welcoming and helpful.|Price was decent for what it is.

The customer service I experience at yak lodge is not like anything I’ve ever experienced elsewhere. Brianna and Chris are once in a lifetime characters. Brittany and Ed are truly a master of their craft. Whenever I have a question, Cody and Kraig are quick to answer. 10/10 recommend this lodge and the amazing staff.

The cheesecake is a little expensive though🙄.

I have been fortunate to spend lots of time at Yakutat lodge over the years. I arranged a trip for a business peer group I am a member of so 14 of us went up. We had meetings and housed at the big house which is spectacular. I highly recommend this lodge. Great staff and spectacular guides. A very unique place.

Amazing place, friendly and knowledge staff. The "big house" cabin is beautiful and well kept with amazing views of the bay and mountains. Cody will take care of all of your needs, best fishing guides I have ever met. Make the trip and you will not regret is!
