Celebrating 26 years of wilderness
fun and adventures
 This
beautiful Eco-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/operator 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 with a couple of true Alaskan
sourdoughs. It has been said by many guests of the 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 wilderness eco lodge in 1981, owners Keith
and Randi Iverson invite you to celebrate 35 years of residency and 27
years of full-service lodgings in 2008.
 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
the peaceful atmosphere of the wilderness and to maintain the ecologic
sustainability of the land, 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 eco 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. As the ecological
guardians of Sadie Cove, we are pleased to be able to eliminate this
need for fossil fuels in our lives and our business. 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 sauna and bath house
next to a rushing creek; a family entertainment lounge, a dining hall
complete with professional chef and an Alaskan sized fire pit.
Surrounding the Lodge is a network of 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. A
team of guides from the Lodge 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

peace-seekers alike yearning to experience the beauty, friendship,
service, and tranquility that can be found at this very special
place.

Beginning in the summer season of 2007 a
new tree will be planted in Alaska for each and every guest of the lodge in
order to offset the carbon emissions that are the inconvenient result of travel.
We look forward to a new forest of Birch and Spruce one day as a fond
remembrance of everyone that has shared our adventure and as an example of what
2 folks in the wilderness can accomplish for the environment with the help of
others. When we say "Thank you for sharing our adventure", we really mean it.
