A buddy and I stayed here over Memorial weekend. This is a true Alaskan experience. We kayaked out to a waterfall, fished, saw bears, and sea lions. The yurks are awesome and unique. They are on a bluff on the island and the views are the best I've ever seen. Dennis and Susan are gracious hosts. This was by far... More

We stayed for 2 nights. Owners are extemely helpful. Bedding had hair in it from a previous guest : / Not much to do except kayaking since the island is very small. Very beautiful location, no cell phone or internet connection.

My husband and I stayed two nights in May 2013 - we are from California and were looking to be engulfed in as much "Alaska" as possible. This definitely fit the bill! On the boat ride out with Dennis & Susan we encountered a bunch of Dall porpoises as they played and raced our boat. While on the island, we... More

Our family of five took a two week vacation in Alaska, checking out several locations. We wish we had stayed here much longer than the single night that we did. Simply gorgeous surroundings. No electricity, no phone service, no internet, no machinery, just bliss. My son and I paddled out in the kayaks and promptly reeled in a couple of... More

My son and his girlfriend and I stayed on this Island for just one night in August. Even though it was raining we enjoyed this adventure and felt totally at peace with the ocean environment. We saw loads of jellyfish from our decks as well as salmon, eagles and otters. There is a tidal pool in the rocks and all... More

We stayed in the Stellar Jay cabin, which is one of the two newer cabins (the other is the Puffin) located higher up on the mountain across a bridge from the main group of cabins. It felt... More

My husband and I stayed in one of these fabulous yurts for 3 nights and experienced pure rejuvenation. It was our first time in Alaska and are so thankful we included this into our trip. No matter what the weather you will enjoy your surroundings. The yurt is so incredibly comfortable with the efficient propane heater and full size gas... More

We just returned from a two night stay at Orca Island. We live in Alaska (Anchorage) and frequently travel throughout Alaska for work. I've been to many places in the state and this overall setting ranks near the top. The setting at Orca Island is simply beautiful. The trip from Anchorage is so very easy because everything you need is... More

Our family of 4 just returned from an Alaskan vacation that included 2 nights at Orca Island Cabins and our experience at the yurts was one of the highlights of our trip. We rented 2 yurts - one for my husband and I and one for our 2 sons (ages 17 & 20). From the moment that we left the... More
