    Great time for our group of 4 staying in the River View cabin and enjoying an afternoon scenic float trip one day. All of the staff are great and personable, sharing all they can about the area. Will definitely be back!

    We had an amazing time on the full day tour, we saw tons of wildlife and our guide was knowledgeable and skilled. The view from Skilak Lake was absolutely amazing!

    Great company. Have been staying here and/or using them for fishing trips for 30 years. The new owner, Eric continues the philosophy of Gary G. the original owner, in making each customer feel welcomed by providing the best customer experience possible. They are very accommodating. We stayed in the Big Log Cabin this week. Very spacious with a well equipped kitchen. Reide (pronounced Reed) was always smiling and helpful with getting us hip boots and providing fishing tips. We look forward to future visits the next time we visit Alaska.

    Amazing trip! We caught fish, we saw a bear, a mama moose and her baby. We had great conversation. Our guide, Hambone was great!
