We are authorities at helping our guests book the best, most stunning Alaska bear watching tours.

Indulge your senses watching for whales, porpoises, sea otters, and seals in this rich marine environment, or relax on the decks that surround the lodge, and enjoy the scenery of the Kachemak Bay State Park.

When you return to Halibut Cove, you can relax in the lodge, a secluded getaway with dramatic high ceilings cut across by rustic timbers.

The hosts of this remote wilderness lodge are two sourdough Alaskans, Kevin and Lucinda Sidelinger. Kevin, who built the lodge using timbers from the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, created a unique building that compliments the environment. The Douglas fir, timber-framed bedrooms offer plenty of space as well as large windows and panoramic views of the bay, mountains, and beaches, along with private baths and an undeniably Alaskan flavor. 
Enjoy the mountains, and the cove from a comfy deck chair, talking to Kevin and Lucinda about their life in Alaska. They can always be encouraged to share their years of pioneering oyster farming on the bay, or trekking across remote wilderness areas in the Great Land with their favorite Llamas. It is the perfect complement to a very Alaskan experience. Join Lucinda as she prepares your meals, or just enjoy the melding of scents wafting from the kitchen.

Halibut Cove & Kachemak Bay, Alaska

A view from the top of the West end of Ismailof Island, looking down on the community of Halibut Cove. The blue of the sky matches the water, the vegetation is dark green, and the snow-capped mountains of the Kachemak Bay State Park are in the background.
Halibut Cove is a small island community in a majestic setting. There are approximately 100 summer time residents and visitors who enjoy the 1 local restaurant, boardwalks, and 2 art galleries that culminate on one end of the island.  Even Alaskans vacation to this part of the state to remind themselves of why they moved to Alaska in the first place.

Alaska’s Ridgewood Wilderness Lodge is located on the Kenai Peninsula, on the South side of Kachemak Bay in Halibut Cove, Alaska, and is adjacent to the Kachemak Bay State Park, just 7 miles from Homer, Alaska.
