The RIRL vacation surpassed my expectations and provided a lasting experience one will never forget. Thanks for sharing your part of paradise and beautiful home, and by the way the fishing wasn’t too shoddy either; Birchie you’ll have to get us onto something bigger than 215 lbs on our next visit !!!

Great, first time experience for my son and another (third) trip for me!!!!

The best vacation ever!

We had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful spot you have picked out for your home and the top notch hospitality. I invite others to experience what cannot be described with words and pictures. One of the most spectacular places on earth.  Truly the trip of a lifetime with memories and new friends we will cherish forever.

Two retired professors from Auburn University wanted to fish while escaping the summer heat. Kodiak Island was perfect, we never broke a sweat. Fishing for salmon, halibut and other species of lesser name was the aim. We were not disappointed and our home freezers hold the proof. The big one that did not get away weighed 121 lb ( see pictures ). Tiffany and the children were tending to family duties in South Dakota but Birch took good care of us along with his attentive help. Accomodations were excellent as was the food. Along with the fish, we helped trap Tanner crabs which were served fresh and hot at the end of the day while Birch cleaned the days catch. A half day, fly-in bear watch did not disappoint. Our experience was worth every penny and we recommend Raspberry Island Remote Lodge to anyone who would like to experience the beauty, wildlife and fishing that Alaska has to offer. Thanks Birch!

The boys were out fishing and we needed a day off from all that work. After nice long hike along the beach and a gallon ziplock full of salmonberries picked from halfway up the mountain……we sat on the deck and enjoyed this amazing view with some of the warmest sunshine my skin has ever felt.

Thanks again for a wonderful stay at Raspberry Island. All of us are raving about the fantastic hospitality and accommodations offered by you and the staff. The fishing was fantastic. The meals were fantastic. The kayaking and hiking were fantastic. You surpassed our expectations and provided us an experience we will never forget.

Loved the time at the Lodge during our first visit to Alaska! Thanks for the memories, the hospitality, and the great fish that we brought home!

Thanks for sharing your special part of the world, family, home and business. You and your staff make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. We have many fond memories of our time at Raspberry Island.

As the lodge’s website developer, I’ve been drooling over the pictures and descriptions of the lodge on the website for over three years now.  My opportunity to visit did not disappoint!  It’s amazing when you find new ways to experience the beauty of this state as local Alaskans.  My husband and I will definitely be back!
