Our stay at CCL was fantastic. There are several things that sets this lodge apart from the previous lodge we stayed at in Sitka. Main Lodge: Just beautiful and the location couldn’t be better. It’s very spacious and has many comfy couches and recliners if you just want to kick up your feet and relax. There are windows in the dining area where you can enjoy the ocean views while dining. You will not find a buffet line crammed with many anglers at this lodge. Kristi prepares delicious meals and you will be served your meals. Her desserts and sourdough bread were amazing. I tried convincing her to sell me a loaf of her sourdough bread to take home but to no avail. Lol! Will wash dishes for Kristi’s bread! Lol! This lodge is very intimate and carries a maximum of 18 anglers. Rooms: All rooms are oceanfront with a deck. Listening to the crashing waves and taking in Alaska’s crisp air provided a very peaceful and restful stay. Slept well. I was a non-angler so I had to purchase my own lunch which was perfectly fine with me because I love going into town while my husband is out fishing. I come here to decompress from the busy lifestyle back home. There is a great nearby grocery/liquor store within walking distance that serves hot meals and has a deli. Kristi and staff will be more than happy to transport you to/from the downtown area. Kristi has the perfect demeanor. She is so kind and sweet. She was always available to answer any questions I had. Since it was our first time at the lodge, we didn’t know what to expect or how things operated at this lodge. She was never hurried or stressed and never once did we feel we were surrounded by chaos. According to my husband, he had a blast fishing with Nathan and deckhand Hunter. Both were outstanding personally and professionally. He was fortunate to have fished with a great group. The fish processor that CCL uses is great. The fish arrived frozen and was beautifully packaged and individually marked. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for an overall great experience. This lodge did not disappoint. The Kraft family runs a great operation here in Sitka. It’s very obvious they put a lot of love and care into this lodge. See you in the years to...

Read moreFull disclosure, I had wanted to book a different fishing lodge originally, but after some research and looking into available dates, I booked with Cascade Creek Lodge. It was a great choice. The Kraft family have been running this lodge since around 2016(?) and they have perfected the Alaskan fishing experience. The rooms , all newly renovated, with a private balcony over looking Mt Edgecomb let you get lulled to sleep by the sound of the Pacific lapping against the shore right outside your window. The view is second to none. The beds are super comfortable and the rooms have all the amenities and more, that one could ask for from a fishing lodge.|| Labeling Cascade Creek a fishing lodge, seems to be doing it an injustice, the food served to the guests is outstanding. Kristie, who prepared all the meals has an amazing palette, and she has perfected her signature dishes served at the lodge.I was a little worried about a lack of choice, but after the first couple of meals, I enjoyed not having to think about what I was going to have because everything was great. The spruce tip Creme Brulee was one of my favorites.|| The fishing blew away all of my expectations. My party fished with Captain Nathan and his mate Dillon(Sandwich King). They had us on the fish at all times, and could not have been more attentive and helpful. I have been fishing more many years, but if it will be your first time out with them, they will have you catching fish like a pro in no time. I just finished putting away over a hundred pounds of fillets my son and I caught and I can’t wait to cook some. We caught our limit of rock fish, King salmon, halibut, and ling cod.|| The truly outstanding thing Cascade Creek Lodge gets right is the attention to detail and logistics of making the guests stay hassle free. From the moment they pick you up from the airport to the moment you pick up your labeled flash frozen fillets at Sitka airport all the Ts are crossed and the i’s are dotted. With so many moving parts on an excursion like this one would think an occasional hiccup might occur; it didn’t.||Book now you will thank yourself...
