Off-Grid Living on Raspberry Island
isn’t a talking point here—it’s simply how we live. There is no town or public infrastructure on Raspberry Island, and access is only by boat or seaplane. Independence is not an aesthetic; it is our daily reality.
At Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge, we generate our own electricity through a combination of hydro and solar power, with two permanent magnet hydro alternators and 48 bifacial solar panels totaling nearly 26 kW of capacity. Power is stored in a lithium iron phosphate battery bank of more than 60 kWh and distributed throughout the property by two 15 kW inverters. For added redundancy, the system is backed by both 40 kW CAT and 28 kW Northern Lights diesel generators. The result is seamless, uninterrupted power — 24 hours a day — without reliance on the outside world.
Our fresh water begins in the same watershed that powers us. A dedicated line diverts from the same system, passes through filtration and pressure regulation, and supplies the property with remarkably pure, cold mountain water — some of the best you will ever drink.
Operating in true wilderness requires self-reliance. Over the years, we have built the infrastructure to support that standard: full maintenance and workshop facilities, a complete wood shop, on-site fish processing with walk-in freezer storage, equipment sheds, and dedicated on-site housing for our team. Living and working here requires more than seasonal logistics—it requires commitment.
Our location within Alaska’s wild demands independence, yet guests experience only comfort. Most forget we are off-grid at all. That is exactly as it should be.

THE LODGE
Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge is an off-grid wilderness property within the Kodiak Archipelago, built around access to fishing, wildlife, and coastal Alaska while maintaining comfort, privacy, and simplicity in a remote setting.
The Main Lodge
Built from locally milled Sitka spruce, the main lodge is the center of daily life at the property—warm, open, and positioned to look directly across Raspberry Strait toward the surrounding mountains and ocean.
Private Cabins
Eight private, fully appointed guest cabins offer quiet separation from the main lodge while remaining only a short walk away. Each cabin has its own view of the surrounding property and wilderness beyond.
Food and Drink
Meals are prepared from scratch each day, often centered around locally harvested seafood, with fresh breads, plated dinners, and complimentary beer and wine served in a relaxed communal atmosphere.
