A Hidden Gem

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 6, 2016
I am joining TripAdvisor for the sole purpose of writing this post. My girlfriend and I spent eight days in Alaska traveling in an RV. What my girlfriend didn't know was that I was working behind the scenes with Stillpoint Lodge to plan what turned out to be an amazing and unforgettable proposal.

Beka, the manager at Stillpoint, worked with me for weeks to make sure this was a night to remember. She was friendly and responsive, going out of her way to make sure all of our scheduled plans went off without a hitch.

A meal was prepared with Alaskan flare, topped off with a request for my girlfriend's favorite dessert, which the cooking staff said they spent hours perfecting just for her! The food was delicious for every meal.

The views were stunning. An otter was swimming by the dock to greet us when we arrived by boat, our room overlooked a quiet cove, and the mountains around us were inspiring. It was the perfect setting to propose... And most importantly she said yes!

We had an action-packed time at Stillpoint: a hike to a lake with floating icebergs calving off of a glacier, sea kayaking, massages, fishing, whale watching, driving golf balls into the cove, even a professional quality photo shoot done by one of the Stillpoint staff members.

In a location as remote and scenic as this one, there was also plenty of down time to hot tub, meditate, and relax.

The staff were friendly and personable. In a short time we made friends that we were sad to leave. We are determined to get back to this special place soon. If you want to celebrate a special occasion in Alaska, or just want the best of what Alaska has to offer, I simply can't imagine a better place than this one.

We had the opportunity to visit Stillpoint Lodge & stay in one of the cabins. What an incredible place!!!!!
First off, Halibut Cove is breathtakingly beautiful and this lodge & the cabins are just in a perfect spot to capture the great views.
Second, the owners & staff are top notch -- always making sure we had what we needed. And the food? AMAZING!!!! Super healthy & very tasty.
We took a boat ride out to look for whales & saw plenty of wildlife.
I also had the chance to have a massage and it was SO great -- seriously one of the best ever.
Honestly, we didn't want to go home! Consider yourself lucky if you get a chance to stay at Stillpoint Lodge.

Room tip: All the cabins are amazing! We took a tour to check 'em out.

Stillpoint Lodge is one of the most magical places I have visited: from the moment I stepped on the dock I felt like I could breathe easier. Jan and Jim, the owners, and passionate about providing enjoyment and committed service, which I would say is the highlight of this paradise. The cabins are charming and quaint, the garden is impressive and provides for much of the incredible, sustainable dining, and the views are unbelievable. Kayaks are available for use at any time, but the crew will take you anywhere in Kachemak bay if need be. But there really is no reason to leave the lodge, paths, and still splendor that encompasses the grounds of Stillpoint.

Stillpoint is a magical place!. Each cabin has it's own charm and view. The food and service is incredible. You can get a massage, walk a labyrinth, kayak, hike or watch the eagles. A quiet and relaxing setting.

I have to say the healthy and delicious meals rival any retreat center anywhere! I felt absolutely spoiled and well nourished on many levels.
The owner Jan and the manager Beka were both contentious and caring and went out of their way to accommodate my needs.

Stillpoint has to be seen to be believed. The location is absolutely gorgeous, on a peninsula in a quiet cove surrounded by mountains. Stillpoint has workshops, retreats, and is available to groups for conferences, meetings, weddings. The main Lodge is very spacious, simply beautiful, with huge glass windows to take advantage of the beautiful views, comfortable furniture, showers and bathroom facilities and a professional kitchen. Each cabin is beautifully furnished and takes advantage of a view from one of the sides of the property.There are also kayaks available. THere is a large deck with chairs with views of both end of the cove. I have stayed in the cozy, fully furnished, self service Hermitage Cabin, usually for a week, for about 10 years. It is one of my favorite places in the world to stay. The Thurstons, who own and built this fabulous property as a labor of love, are wonderful people and their staff is outstanding.
