At Favorite Bay Lodge, our guests share something special: genuine connection to Alaska's wilderness and to each other.
Whether you came to fish, watch whales, or simply sit on the deck with a book- you'll leave feeling like you found something you didn't know you were missing.
SEE WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING
"An experience of a lifetime. The fishing, food, and hospitality exceeded every expectation."
Our protected fishing grounds are just 15 minutes from your door—more time fishing, less time traveling. Kootznoowoo Inlet's calm, protected waters hold all five Pacific salmon species, giant halibut, and Dolly Varden- and the fishing grounds are closer than anywhere else in Southeast Alaska.
Our local guides Jason, Greg, and Frank know every channel, current, and secret spot. Whether you're a first-timer or seasoned angler, you'll leave with catches—and stories—to last a lifetime.
After a day on the water, return to beds so comfortable they show up in nearly every guest review. Each room celebrates Alaska wildlife- the Raven Room, the Bear Room- with views of the protected bay.
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the inlet. Private rooms with en-suite bathrooms. A Great Room warmed by the fireplace and the day's stories. This is home base.
