Located in the historic community of Ellamar on the shores of Tatitlik Narrows the lodge is nestled in the lush Sitka spruce rain forests of Chugach National Forest with snow capped peaks of Mt. Ellamar and Copper Mountain in the background. The main lodge features private bedrooms, a large living room, complete bathroom and kitchen facilities, and a spacious deck overlooking spectacular views. Two private guest houses and a sauna complete the lodge. The owners are long-time Alaska bush pilots, well known for their quality service, hospitality and delicious gourmet foods.
Known for her sea otter pupping grounds, lush meadows and rain forest Ellamar is ideal for activities such as kayaking along the rugged shorelines of Tatitlick Narrows, exploring uninhabited islands, observing sea otters playing with their babies, birdwatching, tidepooling, beachcombing, going on nature walks, climbing Ellamar and Copper Mountains, exploring historical sites left behind by early copper miners or just relaxing and enjoying your surroundings.
