Lazy Puffin Lodge is in Little Eagle Harbor, Ugak Bay, on the remote coast of Kodiak Island, Alaska. The lodge sits in a protected coastal valley and is accessible by boat or air charter.
Most guests spend the night in Kodiak before and after traveling to the lodge. Hotel stays in town are not included.
Some spots are 10-15 minutes from the lodge; others are 35-45 minutes depending on sea conditions.
The lodge has 5 bedrooms, and each room features 2 beds equipped with memory foam mattresses, sheets, pillows, and a comforter. Each room also includes carpet, curtains, and wire shelving, with space for personal gear.
We love Alaska and enjoy sharing knowledge, stories, and experience so you feel at home. Expect home-cooked meals, hot showers, warm coffee, conversation when you want it, and quiet when you need it.
We are happy to accommodate most dietary needs with advance notice.
