While we do not prohibit bringing children to Cove Peaks Lodge, it is important to remember the environment where the lodge is located. We do not recommend leaving children unattended outdoors. As our lodge is adjacent to Kachemak State Park, we have a large wildlife population in our back yard, including brown and black bears, moose, wolves, and wolverines. These animals are not generally accustomed to human interaction and can be very dangerous for adults and children.
We do not have a general rate for children, but we can adjust rates for children under 12 on a case-by-case basis. Please call us prior to booking to discuss specifics.
As with children, Cove Peaks Lodge can be a dangerous place for pets. Additionally, we do not have any kennels or other places to keep pets outside during your stay.
