Our stay at CCL was wonderful. 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 patio. Listening to the crashing waves and taking in Alaska’s crisp fresh 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 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, thought and care into this lodge. See you in the years to come! Thank you!

My husband and I took our first trip to Sitka in May 2021 to fish for king salmon and halibut. After many hours of research we chose to stay at Cascade Creek since it is a smaller lodge, is right on the water, has nice rooms and provides delicious meals. We are so glad we stayed at Cascade Creek! We caught our limits on king salmon and halibut each day (plus black rockfish). The owners of the lodge were very welcoming and accommodating, and the captain and deckhand on our fishing boat were great; they found the fish and were great at helping us land them on to the boat. The breakfasts and dinners at the lodge each day were very good, and it was nice to enjoy our meals overlooking the water and talking about our day on the water with the other guests. All of the other guests at the lodge were nice, friendly, and we enjoyed meeting people from all over the country. The lodge is in a great location, in walking distance to the grocery store and liquor store; it's actually a very beautiful walk along the water the entire time. The staff at the lodge were so helpful and gave us rides to and from town when needed, although we never had to leave on the days we fished since the lodge provided everything. We were very happy with our trip and are already planning on coming back to Cascade Creek in 2023!

We've stayed with Cascade Creek Lodge the last three years.
The Kraft Family treat you like one of their own, from the time you step off the plane, to the send-off the day of departure.
Food is 4-star, the rooms and facility are clean and well maintained. The view from the rooms offer fantastic sunsets, whales, seals and of course Bald Eagles.
Wendy and I have been paired with with some wonderful fish people. Adult novices, and six year old professionals.
The boats are well equipped and professionally Captained. The deck hands are impressive to watch as they work the boat to insure your time aboard is not wasted tangled, or waiting on bait.
Our catch is professionally processed and waiting for us at the airport the morning of our flight home. Three trips, and we have yet to arrive home with a thawed harvest.
Go enjoy! We are headed back in 2024!

While I've fished elsewhere in Alaska several times, the experience at Cascade Creek Inn and Charters was by far the best experience I've had. We booked a trip for 6, ranging from my 80 year old father to my 12 year old daughter. The Kraft family ensured everything went like clockwork, from pick up at the airport, lodging, fishing, packing, and processing. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well appointed; some had kitchenettes if desired. Meals were prepared locally and did not disappoint; certainly no need to leave the lodge for meals. The provided foul weather gear was very nice, and the boat was clean, well maintained, and equipped with excellent fishing equipment. The boats are captained by the Krafts themselves, with excellent local deck hands. Truly, we can't say enough just how well run this lodge and charter business is! The best review and testimony though really came from the locals. Whether at the airport or on the pier, people seemed to know the Kraft family well, and regarded them in the highest reputation. Looking forward to getting back there whenever we can!

This place is truly a gem! We were a group of six on a women’s fishing retreat. We found the staff to be so accommodating with individual requests, including specific dietary issues. The meals were delicious! The setting is perfect, and you can leave the door to your balcony open to hear the surf at night. Our fishing captain, Tyler, was amazing and made it his goal for us to fish our limit in salmon and halibut. I highly recommend a stay at the Cascade Creek Lodge!

I'ld fished with Captain Tyler with my husband and family who just don't share the passion. Thankfully, my girlfriends of 48 - 25 years joined me to fill our boat as the Legendary Luring Ladies for 3 memorable days! Several gals landed their first King Salmon and Halibut, only to call their husbands to ask them to clean the freezer, to their dismay. The lodge surpassed our hopes by inclusively accommodating one dairy-free individual, while we all savored each calorie. We already booked next-year's trip, while limiting each gal to inviting one friend. Bonus? Seeing Orca pods, sea lions, bald eagles, and whales, while sleeping to the sound of lapping waves.

Joan, The "Luring Ladies" lived up to their name!! What a great time :) They had at least one episode where 4 kings were hooked and fighting at the same time and we would have given them the same name if they had not beat us to the punch! Sincerely, Caryn, Rich and crew

Have fished much of SE Alaska, but never Sitka. Connecting with the family at Cascade Creek just made our trip very special. I had that sense when searching last winter for a place. Conversations with both Caryn and Rich were positive and gracious that I knew this was the right place for our group. They fully met our expectations...on land and out on the water!! What was special.... Location: easy to get to; right on the water; tasty, nutritious, savory meals; comfortable beds; a sauna that looks out over the water!!; 'down home' feeling with engaged yet comfortable staff. Fishing: great, well equiped 30' walk around comfortable boats; well maintained equipment; fun, skilled captain/deckhand. Experience: We all felt like 'family' , owners/staff were there to insure our comfort and to genuinely engage with guests welcoming them as new friends. We were lucky weatherwise with four great days on the water! That added with good catches, a most comfortable place to come back to , and the caring nature of staff all made for an exceptional trip!

The reviews you read here are true and honest. The Cascade Creek lodge is the definition of a fishing lodge and our room was clean and comfortable. We watched seals, sea otters and eagles from our balcony. Caryn and Rich and their staff are attentive and the breakfasts and dinners were fantastic. But, we came for the fishing. This was the first time fishing in Alaska for my son and I and we could not have been any happier than with Tyler and his deckhand John. We were with three vets on the boat and everyone was pleasant and helpful. We caught our limit on kings and halibut each day plus some other species. We each took home 50lbs of wonderful fish. We will be back.

4 of us fished this lodge for four days in mid-July. The lodge provided thorough info on what to bring and what to expect. The rooms were modern with queen beds and bathrooms. Breakfast and dinner were tasty and filling. The captain, Nathan, and deckhand, Isaac, were friendly, knowledgeable, and always helpful. They kept the boat, the tackle, and the baits ready for action. We caught limits of halibut, king salmon, and rock fish. We caught approximately 20 silvers using trolling and mooching techniques. Finally, we caught black cod at 1,700 feet with electric reels. I rate my Cascade Creek Lodge experience , as the very best of my 5 Alaska trips!

Caryn, Rich and their entire family are wonderful people who can not do enough for you. Christy prepares fabulous meals and her over the top deserts are killer. she is extremely attentive to dietary restrictions. We limited out each day on King and Halibut. Added a variety of other fish onto the boat and fortunately had a break in the weather so we made the run to 3,000 feet and brought up what we came for, Black Cod aka Sable. THANK YOU TYLER. If you are heading to Alaska, this is the only place to go and fish from. Thank you everyone for an amazing stay. "the cousins" Mel and Jeff
