deHavilland Otter This one carried every stick of wood, every nail, every gallon of paint, and every knife and fork for the Loonsong Mountain Lake Camp into a tiny lake near Homer Alaska. Took over a hundred trips...but there's no other way to get there. Stay there a week and they'll drop the Sunday paper on the porch for you from the same airplane.
Don't think we'e ever seen a prettier, more isolated spot anywhere. This deluxe lodge offers days filled with sea kayaking, fishing for trout or salmon, hiking, and boating. Evenings allow you to enjoy spacious rooms with massive posts and beams constructed with giant spruce logs. Charming antiques, art, pioneer artifacts and a cozy wood burning stove warm the living room. A kitchen, bath, two guest rooms and a sleeping loft, accessed by hand-hewn stairs, accommodate a single couple, family, or up to six friends. Huge picture windows frame the lake, forested mountainsides and the blue ice-face of a vast, unnamed glacier. The sod-roofed Finnish sauna will soothe your body and soul at day's end. The "wahoo!" of bathers splashing in crystal clear waters is often answered by the loons, suprised to find other swimmers in "their" lake. |
