Reviews for Shelter Cove Alaska Fishing Lodge in Craig, AK
Shelter Cove Lodge has earned my highest recommendation. I?ve been fishing with them for over 20 years and have so many... wonderful memories with my kids. Linda, Dave & Stacey do a remarkable job running the lodge. I have liked all the variousfishing guided over the years, but Kurt is definitely in a league of his own. Best fisherman I have ever fished with! The lodgeis very well maintained, the food is consistently exceptional. Most important to me, the fishing boats and equipment are 1stclass. I?ve said many times this is truly a ?once in a lifetime? experience I am lucky enough to have again and again. Read more
This was by far the best Alaskan fishing that we have ever had. The staff was fantastic, Dave and his team do a fabulous job... taking care of the guests. The food was excellent. Bella the morning chef was alway friendly and welcoming even at such anearly hour. The evening chef and wait staff were great. Megan and her brother, the fish cleaners were very personable andshared secrets on how to fillet the many fish that we had. Our guide, Dave was great and worked very hard in finding fish andmaking sure that we had our limit. We limited out each day except the last, falling one Salmon short. I hope to be back soon.

We LOVED our stay at the Shelter Cove Lodge! The fishing eas great. We got our limit of king salmon and halibut every day. ... Our guide Dave had been at the lodge for many years as had many of the guides. That should tell you a bit about how the ownerstreat their staff. The rooms were very nice. the dining room and reading rooms were super comfortable. We saw tons of eagles,humpback whales, sea otters, deer, sea lions, and seals. One pod of whales blew bubbles and rose right next to our boat to feedon herring. The food was great with 6 choices for entry?s every night. The owners and staff were sincerely interested inmaking sure we were comfortable and having the best time possible. My parents are 78 and they really looked out for them. Weare already planning out next trip here! Read more
Shelter Cove Lodge is the most relaxing place on earth, until you get a King Salmon on the hook! Dave Creighton & Co. have done... an awesome job over the last 10+ years guiding our "trip of a lifetime" fishing trips. The lodge is very clean, the restaurantis the best in SE Alaska, the boats are new & the fishing is world class. We look forward to going back every year. This is theBest Kept Secret in Alaska, hand down. Read more
You can't beat the view from the deck of Shelter Cove Lodge or the memories you'll make on the deck of their fishing boats. The... team here will welcome you like family and then show you the adventure of your life. Each guide knows the waters like the backof their hands and will lead you to some of the best catches you're likely to ever see. The kitchen serves gourmet dishes thatare best enjoyed in their dining hall or out on the deck as the eagles fly overhead on sunny days. If you want the true Alaskanexperience, this is the place to find it. Read more
Experience of a lifetime! I was fortunate enough to accompany my husband and in-laws on their annual trip to Shelter Cove. The... location is quaint and charming. The staff is top notch and very accommodating. The fishing was incredible - and this is comingfrom someone who does not fish at baseline - the guides make fishing fun and they taught me a lot. The way they clean andpackage the fish keeps it tasting fresh for a very long time - I am still enjoying fillets from last summer. All in all, my tripwas a blast and I cannot wait to go back!

These owners allow abusive treatment of staff, then get upset and deduct from paychecks when employees decide to leave for a... healthier working environment after nothing is done to solve any of the problems. Verbal abusive is never ok in an environmentwhere you've left your home to stay there for 3 months. Also very unequal treatment for clients, if a client isn't *perfect* ordoesn't tip well enough, the lodge claims to be fully booked the next year and weeds them out. Very immorally and unethicallyran business by money hungry ownership. Too bad for such a beautiful area. Many other great lodges in the area to check out!! Read more
