Food & Beverage
The Executive Chef and culinary team at Stillpoint Lodge prioritize sustainability and create menus by the seasons. They strive to source local and regional ingredients at the height of freshness. They grow an expansive organic garden and regularly work with local fishermen, farmers, and ranchers to create menus that are simply crafted and well balanced.
Guests enjoy a new menu daily, from casual, hearty breakfast to the four-course gourmet dining experience, curated with wines from the cellar, hand-selected by the Sommelier. They feature contemporary styled cuisine from home-made snacks to decadent packed lunches to be enjoyed on excursions. With a focus on wellness and health the culinary staff can accommodate all dietary needs.
Alaska's Presidential Chalet
Originally the owner's pride and joy art studio, this exclusive VIP suite cabin is perched on the highest part of the property, boasting 360° degree views of Halibut Cove, Kachemak Bay and the Kenai Mountains. It is far larger than the other suites, with east and west panoramic sitting areas on either side of a king bed, wet bar, espresso, writing desk, and spacious ensuite bathroom with an open shower.
A private helipad doubles as a spectacular sitting area to photograph the sunrise over the mountains or take in the amazing evening alpenglow. On low tides, just a few hundred yards across the waters of Rosie’s Bight, black bears and bald eagles are commonly spotted foraging along the beach. The deck on the opposite side of the cabin is home to a private hot tub, custom standalone sauna, and sunset viewing area.
Lodge Details
The main lodge is a 5,000 square foot building located in the heart of the private peninsula. It consists of floor to ceiling windows, cathedral ceilings, gorgeous stonework, and an indoor babbling creek that leads to a reflecting pool. All of these elements combine to bring a little hint of nature indoors. The lodge is a multi- purpose common space available to all guests 24 hours a day.
Guests stay in private log cabins located throughout the property. Each one is unique and built by local craftsmen with salvaged spruce trees. They are peaceful, authentic and cozy while being furnished with luxurious bedding, robes and slippers, original artwork, modern plumbing, Wi-Fi and personal heaters. There are 3 One-Bedroom Suite cabins, 4 Two-Bedroom Suite cabins, 2 One-Bedroom Deluxe cabins, 1 Petite cabin, and the Alaska’s Presidential Chalet.
Guests have access to an infrared sauna and hot tub overlooking the ocean.

Travel Details
Stillpoint Lodge is located in Kachemak Bay and Wilderness Park roughly 12 miles from the town of Homer. Surrounded by Alaska's only state wilderness park, the only way to reach Stillpoint Lodge is by boat or float plane.
There are several ways for guests to get to the lodge.
• One is to rent a car or hire a driver and drive down the scenic Seward Highway from Anchorage to Homer. This takes about four to five hours. The bore tides and a stop at the ski village of Girdwood make this drive interesting.
• Another way to get to Homer is to fly commercially on Ravn Air. Ravn offers frequent jet flights throughout the day and cuts the travel time to about 50 minutes. These options bring you to the village of Homer, where Stillpoint Lodge will pick you up for the 25-minute boat ride across Kachemak Bay.
• Another option is to have Stillpoint Lodge arrange a float plane from Anchorage or another Southcentral, Alaska lodge to deliver you directly to the lodge dock.
• There is also a private jet FBO at the Homer airport for those who wish to fly privately into Homer and then take the lodge boat across Kachemak Bay to the lodge.
