Cove Peaks Lodge is a beautiful Alaskan wilderness resort located on the Kenai Peninsula in Kachemak Bay, less than an hour boat ride from Homer.
"What a Fantastic Stay!! The team at Cove Peaks provide everything we needed and bent over backwards to make sure our group had the best time possible. When the fishing guide could not make it they called up the sea plane for a tour, When the beer ran out (my fault and not all the beer of course) they made margaritas! I cant say enough about Danny, David and most of all Terisa for making sure our first Alaska adventure was something impossible to top!!"
This fantastic lodge provides a unique opportunity to experience the best of Alaska. World class fishing, glacial hikes, Orcas, bears, you'll see it all. The accommodations were very comfortable, the staff attentive and the food and drink were top notch. A great value base camp for your next visit to Alaska!
I am not sure where to start with this review. There’s so many positive things to say about this place. Upon arrival at the boat Danny and Dave are a duo you immediately take a liking to. These guys are hard working coal miners who have taken on this adventure of a lodge and they are doing it well. You cross the bay and arrive at this gorgeous lodge that you can tell will feel like a home away from home. Enjoy watching the eagles soar as your landing on the beach! Once in the lodge you meet Micheal and Sam who will provide you with unbelievably amazing food breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I can’t say enough about the food, it’s beyond top notch. Then you meet Ms Theresa. She’s the sweetest lady in all of Alaska who will ensure everything is perfect your whole stay here! The staff know the best pilots for float plane trips, guides for fishing, and any other activities you want to do. The spaces available at the lodge are spacious lots of outdoor space, sauna, wood burning fireplace, Netflix for rainy days, a library to relax, reliable internet if you require that. I will be an annual guest here. My only regret is waiting so long to come stay here! Enjoy Alaska in style with Cove Peaks Lodge!
Best service ever by real people nothing phony, the cook and food is amazing, everyone is genuine and the fishing is great. Fishing is not always guaranteed but hospitality can be, here there is every chance to land the big one and a 100% chance to be treated right by the greatest people. Thank you cove peaks,
Cove Peaks Lodge... the name says a lot. Anyone looking for a premium Rustic yet Modern Alaskan adventure Lodge??? This is the place for you. I just spent a week with my father taking in the sites, fishing, bear hunting, whale watching, bird watching... pretty much whatever your Dreams are on an Alaskan trip, this Lodge will accommodate you. The first few hours of our trip the Orka whales came right up to our boat. The charter through the Lodge has exceptional services and cares deeply about showing the clients a quality time... and don’t worry about getting fed, the 5 star chef preparing your meals will leave you comfortably stuffed after every meal. Would I recommend this Lodge? The answer is YES!!!! Will I be going back??? The answer is Hell yes!!!
Group of six of us went up for a 3 day bear hunt/fishing trip. Focused mostly on the bear hunt, but did get out and catch some fish. Had an absolute blast. Good fishing and saw plenty of bears (17 in 2.5 days) with some success! Food was awesome and the lodge was fun and comfortable. Transporter, cook, and lodge manager were super fun to be around. Beat our expectations; already figuring out how to get back next year.
Absolutely amazing. The entire staff is top notch. Very well run - the food is amazing. I have fished all over Alaska and the accommodations here along with their fishing charter partners can’t be beat! I highly recommend and will be going back.
I couldn't have picked a better place to stay on my first trip to Alaska. The staff is amazing, the food even better. This a beautifully secluded spot cant beat the views from the lodge deck.
I had the pleasure of staying at the Cove Peaks Lodge this June, and can honestly say that everything was first class! The lodge was beautiful and immaculate, the food was incredible, and the staff (whom by the way, own the place) were enjoyable and very personable. Cove Peaks turn key'd everything from the arrival at the airport, to setting up our ocean and river fishing, and our water taxi back to Homer. I am looking forward to setting up a followup trip, to bring my executive management team. Fish on!
I recently spent a week with part of the Cove Peaks Lodge team in Halibut Cove, Alaska. I have dreamt of visiting Alaska since I was a small child. My experience at Cove Peaks far exceeded anything I could have imagined. During our time at Cove Peaks, my son hunted, and successfully harvested a black bear, and the two of us spent a great deal of time fishing and exploring Kachemuk Bay. The transporter and Charter Captain were knowledgeable and professional, yet down to earth people. They saw to our enjoyment and comfort in a safe manner. Their excitement at encountering Orcas, catching a nice fish, or harvesting a good bear matched our own. At the lodge, the Lodge Manager and Chef existed to help us have a wonderful time — and they two were excited to hear of our adventures nightly, perhaps more than anyone else we have encountered. I highly recommend the Cove Peak Lodge, particularly the team of professionals that staff the lodge. Mike
We recently spent 3 nights at Cove Peaks. Dave Schaaf and his crew treat all guests as family. They attend to all your needs. The meals are first class, and the fishing is amazing! My son and business colleagues formed memories that will last a lifetime. The three days were filled with Alaska’s beauty and great action aboard captains Ron’s boat. All of the Halibut and Salmon that were caught were professionally processed and waiting for all of us upon our return home. It was a trip my son will never forget. We look forward to coming back and enjoying the lodge again,
We visited Alaska at the end of August this year and had the pleasure of spending part of our trip at Cove Peaks Lodge, in Halibut Cove. This was, by far, our favorite part of our trip! While staying at Cove Peaks Lodge, we got to go kayaking on the ocean, hiked to a glacier, went deep sea fishing, ate wild berries, and enjoyed close up views of local wildlife! We got to see eagles, sea otters, bears, and seals! The cooking was absolutely phenomenal, every meal we had was incredible! We got to stay in one of four cabins on the Lodge property that was warm, comfortable, and equipped with everything you could need from home. The staff were amazing, they took such good care of us while we were there! Cove Peaks Lodge has access to anything you could ask for in Alaska! If you are planning a trip to this beautiful state, you can’t find a better place to spend your time! We highly recommend staying at Cove Peaks Lodge! We didn’t want to leave when it was time to go.

Cove peaks has everything you could ever want from an Alaskan adventure wrapped up into one place. The first morning waking up in the lodge I was staring face to face with a boar black bear that was wandering along through the tall grass behind the main cabin. The salmon and halibut fishing was also superb with a take home of 48lbs and fantastic views of Mt. Saint Augustine. We were able to see orca whales and humpbacks all in one day, hike glaciers and see wildlife everywhere. The lodge has an amazing view of Halibut bay, the Kachemak Bay State park and not only that, the lodge has food that is mouthwatering! The experience and the scenery of Alaska alone will capture you, but Cove Peaks was the place to meet the Last Frontier.
Our family was fortunate to spend a week at Cove Peaks Lodge in July and had the vacation of a lifetime!
The breathtaking sunsets, constantly changing beach, listening to the eagles that were nesting nearby, watching the sea otters and the fishing trips all exceeded our expectations!
The hospitality of the staff is unmatched. They work hard to make sure everyone has a terrific experience. We were so spoiled by all of the amazing food! It's a good thing I walked the beach a lot!
It's a perfect place to relax and read a book. But, if needed they have great internet so we were able to easily stay in contact with family back home.
One highlight of the trip was our college age daughter caught her first fish EVER...then she caught an 80 lb halibut, the biggest one of the group! She had the BEST time and will forever remember her Alaska adventure!
I would highly recommend the hike to Glacier Lake, its well worth it!
We hope to go again and share this wonderful place with more of our family.
Cove Peaks Lodge truly is a taste of heaven on earth.
