Tutka Bay Lodge is a 4-star property nestled at the head of the rugged nine-mile fjord in greater Kachemak Bay, Alaska. Just a short boat ride from Homer, the lodge is surrounded by tide pools, natural estuaries, and thirty acres of old-growth spruce forest. A unique trail system and quiet cove near the large oceanside deck provide a distinctly Alaska maritime feel, offering a serene space to observe marine life and soak in fresh ocean air.
The family-owned and operated lodge offers a remote, genuine, and transformative stay within Alaska’s coastal wilderness. Enjoy adventures within the bay by kayak, boat, or seaplane, or simply take in the views of a perfect juxtaposition of mountain and sea while enjoying world-class service.
Not only do the adventures abound at Tutka Bay Lodge and in Alaska as a whole, but so do the culinary aspects. Kirsten Dixon and her talented team of chefs take pride in the uniqueness of their kitchens. Kirsten is the published author of three cookbooks and a Cordon Bleu Chef. Guests are welcome to join the lodge’s very talented chefs in the kitchen at any time for an impromptu wine tasting or cooking demonstration.
With a priority on local and fresh ingredients, highlights include Alaska wild salmon, wild local berries, sourdough, fresh-baked breads and pastries, homemade jams and jellies, and specialty hand-crafted cheeses. Join the team for foraging during your stay.
All meals are included at Tutka Bay Lodge – breakfast, lunch, appetizer hour, and a four-course dinner. With three highly trained chefs, the food is often the reason guests visit. With an emphasis on locally sourced flavors and meals, guests leave feeling quite satisfied. Daily cooking classes and foraging lessons are available with the chefs.
