Building the Lodge: Two Seasons in the Wilderness

How a Dream Became a Wilderness Lodge

Over two seasons, every board, beam, and pathway was flown in by floatplane, carried by hand, and shaped by weather, time, and a small team who believed in creating something worthy of this landscape. From hammering in midnight sun to sharing coffee with curious brown bears in the distance, Katmai Sky Lodge grew from a dream into a place meant for connection, reflection, and wild Alaska moments. Now, as we open for our first full season in 2026, we’re excited to share the story behind it.
