This 30,000-acre island was first used in 1920 as a fox farm and later in the 50's by salmon fishers. Now there are a dozen summer cabins on the island used during the summer fishing season. 90% of the island is owned by the state of Alaska and is not for sale.
The lodge sits on 5 acres of beachfront property which is grandfathered into a "critical wildlife habitat" area and consequently you will never have neighbors. The closest private property is 2 miles away.
The island has long sandy beaches, a bird sanctuary, scenic hiking trails, and a managerie of wildlife including moose, fox, beaver, bald eagles, owls, cranes, geese, ducks, seals, and sea birds. More importantly there are no bears, roads, cars, stores, or crowds.
