Beautiful Granite Point Mountain Lodge on Resurrection Bay! Reviews

Everything was excellent and we loved the experience. We’d all go back just to visit the caretaker Levi. Couldn’t be better!

This was one of the most interesting places I have ever stayed. Immersed in nature and half an hour boat ride from Seward, Granite Point Lodge is a great way to experience the wildlife and views of Resurrection Bay. The kayaking and fishing was wonderful! Rockfish were plentiful and had delicious fillets for dinner. Lots of seals and eagles. The house was an engineering feat perched on a cliff 150’ above the bay. It was difficult to stop looking out the wide windows at the views. Highly recommend if you are physically fit to get up the stairs to the house.

Was the most memorable VRBO stay my family has experienced! Levi was an amazing host. He took us kayaking and shooting. Also he went above and beyond when we had a medical emergency with my daughter involving insulin supplies. He and the owner Jeff could not have been more helpful. I will book again with them no doubt! Thanks for the awesome stay and unbelievable service! Especially when we really needed it. Thanks again.

Staying at the cabin is such an amazing experience. The location is stunning and the cabin is gorgeous! This was the place we were most excited to stay at during our trip, and it did not disappoint! Will definitely be back one day!!

We had our "annual ladies trip" at Granite Point! As many of the other reviews point out: yes, the stairs are really something to be aware of (very steep; not safe for anyone with any physical ailments, & small children would make me very nervous). The views from the cabin/fire pit are indeed amazing! The hike behind the property is very steep, but truly incredibly beautiful (we are all from AK and really loved this hike). We were very grateful for the kitchen & all of it's amenities (it had everything we needed). It is worth noting (since we were not aware of this) that Granite Point is *not* secluded; the camp fire area is pretty close to the other cabin (we often heard the dog barking at cabin next door / kid crying next door) and people from the other cabins have to walk through your space to get own to the beach or up to the hiking trail. It did not feel as secluded as we thought we'd be; so it's worth noting to others who are wanting that experience. The compostable toilet smells really pretty bad and we were told to only use it in emergency situations (so you use outhouse). Due to the smell of toilet inside, it makes you not want to use the shower either. We were okay with not showering for two days - but just something to be aware of. Levi - the groundskeeper/property manager - was helpful with providing information and anything we needed. It was convenient to have kayaks/SUPs provided on site. Thanks for providing us with beautiful views & experiences for our annual trip!

We had a fabulous stay. It was everything we expected and more; great hiking, beautiful views, kayaking was the best, the lodge was exceptional! The property manager was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. He even showed up with fresh caught fish for us!! Delicious!! We would definitely come back for another stay. And we will tell all our friends about this wilderness escape! Thank you for sharing your little piece of Heaven!

We held our wedding here and it was absolutely gorgeous! The campfire area is just below the cabin, not down on the beach as we thought, which was great because it was super convenient for those who didn't want to go up and down. Folks should be aware that it is quite the trek up stairs and uneven ground to get there though, so it was a workout with all the food and gear for the wedding. Completely worth it though!! Levi was a great host, filling us in on various things and helping out when he could. The views were incredible and the setting was unlike anything I've experienced. And I grew up in Alaska, so I've seen a lot of amazing views. The beach was really fun too, hunting for sea glass and hanging out in the sun. Folks should know that you can't take the kayaks or paddleboards out without Levi's help or a guide though, for safety reasons. We loved our visit and can't wait to see the wedding pictures. Our family was visiting from everywhere (Maui to New Hampshire) and all said it was better than they could have imagined.

This place is awesome! hot showers in an off grid mountain cabin! pack moderately because its a hike up quite a bit of stairs to get up to the lodge. we rented a boat but there is a water taxi if you don't have a boat. Jeff was great to work with and so was all of his help. Levi is the caretaker and he is a great person to have around up there. we saw all kinds of wildlife while were out there. cant say enough good things about this place. i would love to come back here again someday!

Jeff, thank you for building and sharing this place with others. This was the perfect getaway location for us. We were a little worried about the steps, but made it just fine. The setting is even better than pictures can capture. During our 3 night stay, we enjoyed sitting by the firepit taking in the amazing view, watching and listening to humpback blow their spout and splash in the water sea lions yelling, otters playing, Dall porpoise jumping, cruise ships pass by and bald eagles fly just overhead. This is our kind of "roughing it". We had water, electricity and comfortable beds and couches along with a full kitchen, plus the outdoor area with plenty of seating. Thank you also Jeff for encouraging us to spend at least one of our full days enjoying the property (I originally planned activities in/around Seward each day) but decided to adjust and leave one full day with no plans...it was a great and memorable day). We all wish we would have had added 1 more day to just enjoy the property. The water taxi was great, and we were blessed with great weather. Overall, my wife was a little concerned about this part of the trip since it is a bit out of our comfort zone, but absolutely loved it once we got there. Be sure to plan appropriately...there are a lot of stairs, but it is absolutely manageable. We left our big luggage in the car and just packed what we knew we needed in backpacks and duffel bags. We brought just enough but not too much food, and a few bundles of firewood. It was the highlight of our alaska trip which included some incredible experiences in Juneau, Denali and Whittier. We all say just being at the lodge was the best part of the whole trip. Thanks again Jeff for building and sharing this place.
