My experience was unpleasant. The lodge was dirty, the staff inattentive, the grounds cluttered and scattered with trash. The hot tub was cloudy and scummy. The beds were uncomfortable. The frequent cruise ships blocked the ocean view. The island was less remote than anticipated. For non-fishers, there is little to do. One bright spot: the dinners were lovely.

Dove Island is our favorite destination & we have been back almost every year for 10 years. We love the magnificent ocean... More

What a beautiful facility ---- much better than the pictures show. We checked into our room, which by the way, was extremely comfortable. At dinner the... More

I just finished my third trip at Dove Island Lodge in Sitka and can only say the highest remarks for such a great place. The owners seem to make it a personal mission to make sure every guest is taken care of while staying at the resort. The fishing, well the fishing is everything I expect, but I already knew... More

Just returned from a trip at Dove Island in Sitka. I have been gathering my thoughts to try to be constructive. This lodge is a disappointment. First, the owners are distant, unwelcoming and rude. The only time an interest was shown to us was after it was very clear that we were very unhappy. I assume one of the owners... More
