This is the most incredible places that I have ever visited. It is truly remote which my son Travis and I wanted. The lodge was awesome. The food was better than any five star restaurants I have been to. Cheryl and Cliff treated you like family. The guides were the best and took care of your every need to catch fish and cooked incredible shore lunches. The fishing exceeded our expectations and lost count of how many Kings we caught. We will definitely return.

Thank you so much. We really enjoyed you and Travis and you both clearly enjoyed the Anvik for all it has to offer! We can't wait to fish with you two again!

Whether a beginner or a seasoned fisher(wo)man, everyone is treated with respect and courtesy. The owners treat everyone as family and the guides are phenomenal. The lodge staff ensure that you are pampered from the time you wake up until time to go to bed. And the food! It is amazing. If anyone is thinking about a remote fishing experience but is hesitant because of uncertainty how they will cope in the wilderness or they do no feel that their fishing skills are "good enough," please consider going to Anvik River Lodge. All will be treated well. Those experienced with fishing will appreciate that they will be the ONLY ones on the river and the variety of fish is awesome. I can't wait until I can save up to go again!

This group sets the bar at it’s highest for Alaska wilderness adventure. Come as friends and leave as family. Feel safe, isolated, pampered, connected and remote at the same time. Impeccable staff, accommodations, dining, and fishing. Go for the adventure and live the remote Alaska experience. You won’t be disappointed. My respect to owner/operators Cheryl and Cliff and their gracious, professional staff. You do fantastic jobs making your plush, heavenly, well cared for facility look so good. Guests see very little of the painstaking laborious effort applied constantly to achieve the level of quality that shines through every aspect of the ARL experience. While it seems effortless, it is not. Wow. Great job again. Twelve guests can’t be wrong when unanimously singing praises from start to finish. Thank you for making every one of us feel like your favorite. Not one complaint was heard. Pretty special place. Thanks for sharing your home with us. Can’t wait to see you again. ML…

The owners of Anvik River Lodge are wonderful and terrific hosts. They have thought of everything to make your stay with them the fishing experience of a lifetime. Once you have been to ARL you will want to go back. The fishing was incredible, my friend Rick and I both achieved the Grand Slam every day, which symbolizes the quality of the guides, they knew where all of the different types of fish were and the best methods to catch them . They were also fun to be with for a day, we had Nick, Drew, Nate, Noah and Harry. Every day we had lunch, prepared by your fishing guide some prepared food and other days fresh cooked fish that we had caught that morning all the meals were delicious and as they are preparing your food you are still catching fish from the shore as a matter of fact so many grayling and char you need to take a break. The nightly meals are all fantastic. We had a delicious cookout on a gravel bar up river the first night which is perfect because you get to meet all of the people staying at the lodge with you that week in an extremely friendly setting. Every night after that we had wonderful meals all prepared by a great staff. Lori, Dani, Colton and Cheryl all have their own style and different responsibilities, from restocking the open bar, making wonderful appetizers to the main meals and home made deserts, all paired with your choice of wine. Breakfast is also great,fresh eggs,fruit, toast , bacon, sausage, juice and coffee. What could be better than an unbelievable day of fishing topped off by a fantastic home cooked gourmet meal. This was our second stay at AVR and it was exactly the same as the first time. Cliff and Cheryl keep up what you are doing because I am positive nobody does it better. We will definitely see you again. Dick Pytko Rick Harvey Edgartown, Massachusetts…

After 40 years in the hotel industry, and now retired, I can say without hesitation that the Anvik River Lodge has owners who will deliver a level of service unlike any that you may have experienced at other full service fishing lodges in Alaska, which by the way, is truly is in the big leagues for fly fishing. Upon arrival, our group of three met and were introduced to the entire staff. From that moment, going forward, we recognized by name by each and every one of them. You will find this level of service available by only the top resorts in America.
