Your Alaskan Hosts
Keith & Randi Iverson
| Keith A modern-day Alaskan pioneer, Keith purchased his land in Sadie Cove in 1973 and proceeded to build. He began in the Scandinavian tradition with the sauna where he spent his first winter planning and sketching what would ultimately become Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge. Some of the humorous ways Keith found to finance this project can be read about in his autobiography, Alaska Viking. Of his life in Alaska, Keith says "Early on I discovered that my successes as an architectural consultant and the freedom of driving my Porsches were not what I wanted from life. I came to Alaska on a whim and found exactly what I was looking for and have never left." An intrepid adventurer, Keith has climbed, walked, snowshoed, skied, hunted, and fished thousands of miles around this area in his 30 years of residency. He has many a salty sea story to tell of his travels around Kachemak Bay in all manner of watercraft from kayaks to open skiffs to commercial fishing boats in our beautiful but sometimes feisty weather.  Establishing and
building Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge with his own hands and the help of
his friends, Keith has become as much a part of Kachemak Bay as the
trees which grow here and the wildlife which lives here. He is a true
local sourdough with many a story to share.
Randi Our Mission Newly married on December 21, 1997, Keith and Randi included in their wedding vows to care for and especially to protect each other. We make that same promise to our home, Kachemak Bay State Park, and to you, our guests. Together we provide services of which we are proud. We strive to have a low impact on the environment by using non-polluting alternative energy systems and by "leaving no trace" when out on the trails. We support conservation organizations, and believe in using common sense when viewing wildlife. People like you visit our home because they have a special dream and we help make that dream come true by easing the anxieties, hassles, and perceived risks of adventure. Our mission is to cater to and provide an exceptional experience for every person who visits us. 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. |
Is it really as nice a place as it looks? What do
