"At this lodge on the tip of the Kenai Peninsula, luxury and wilderness work in tandem. Guests spend their days fishing for halibut, kayaking in the bay, hiking on glaciers, or lazing about the property. It's also helmed by Kirsten Dixon, a celebrated locavore chef, so meals focus on ingredients that can be fished, hunted, gathered, or grown within the state (though the wine list is decidedly not local). The property is only accessible by a small boat from Homer or a seaplane from Anchorage, but it's well worth the trek." - CNT Editors
