I lived my room. Amazing view and the coat hooks were so useful. The restaurant was great too. I was disappointed with the poutine, but it was so much better than many American attempts at this Canadian specialty. Pizza was one of the best I've had. (Note December trip during cold snap).

We loved staying with Ed, Barb and their sweet staff. They are kind, accommodating, helpful and lovely people. I would stay here again and highly recommend it. I feel like we got to know a bit of this enchanting and unique community for which they are excellent ambassadors.

Amazing friendly hospitality from all staff!! Comfy rooms, with views of the water!! The grab and go food is amazing and perfect for bringing along for a day of fishing, whale watching, or exploring!! The breakfast, pastries and fish and chips from the restaurant were amazing!! Such a fun little spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the day to day and relax!! My family loved it and will definitely be back!!

This place is a diamond in the rough!!! The staff is so pleasant and kind!! The food is delicious and mouthwatering!!! My sheets smelled fresh and clean!!! My view was absolutely spectacular!!! The fishing was amazing and the company was absolutely out of this world!!! I will be back next year for sure!!!

Rented a car from here to go on a bear hunt. No bear, but still probably your best bet for exploring the area on your own if you are coming on a cruise ship.

Icy Strait Lodge delivered an unforgettable Alaskan experience!! The scenic views of the mountains and bay were absolutely stunning and set the tone for a memorable and adventurous stay. The service was exceptional, especially from Chris, whose deep knowledge of local fishing and warm hospitality truly elevated our trip.
Whether out on the water or unwinding at the lodge, every moment felt thoughtfully curated. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a genuine taste of Alaska!

Ed was amazing! He took a ton of extra time telling us all about Hoonah. The care and pride he takes in his establishment is second to none.
We had dinner and drinks at the restaurant and to say I was happy would be an understatement. Jesse was on the top of her game. She took such great care of us.
The halibut fish and chips were amazing. Better than your regular diner plain cod. The amount of fry was perfect and the home made tartar sauce was awesome.
If you are here visiting or come through on a cruise, you have to eat here rather than the main street touristy spots. And when you're done call the local taxi. She was amazing!

Mediocre service and high prices.

Alisha that works in the restaurant is amazing. Not sure what the chefs name was but he was great to. Very friendly and accommodating. We really appreciated the late check out sense or flight didn't leave till 3 something
Great place in a beautiful location. The bakery is nice for a quick breakfast before getting out on the water. The owners and entire staff is extremely accommodating to guests needs.
Walkability: Without other means of travel, walking can be necessary. It's a short hike to the harbor.
Noteworthy details: Chris runs a great operation with the boat rentals for DIY fishing trips. He provides enough information to have a successful trip.

I also feel like I've reviewed this place in the past, but if I haven't, let me say that it's the only place to get dinner or breakfast this time of year in Hoonah Alaska. That being said, they're trivia night every Wednesday is really fun, the meals are expensive but reasonably priced for being on an island where everything has to be shipped in by boat or by plane. I just wish I could understand the Google system better because it seems like it keep getting the same places that when I rate them or post on them I still get them again to have to do again, and I don't understand that, but that has nothing to do with icy straight Lodge, and it would be nice if Google Assistant was recognized that when I say something like icy straight Lodge it should capitalize the first letter of all three words without me having to do it.

My dad and I rented a boat for a day. Unbelievable price for what you get, we caught halibut, sea bass, rock fish. We saw orcas, whales, sea lions and otters. I would highly recommend icy strait lodge for your fishing boat needs. 10x better than going in a charter.
