Above all else, our goal is to make your Alaskan adventure unforgettable! Let us treat you to an unforgettable experience, where you can make memories that will last a lifetime.

Our Story

Alaska’s Boardwalk Lodge was originally built in 1990 on the eastern shore of Prince of Wales Island, nestled inside the cove of Thorne Bay, Alaska. Each log was felled and towed across Thorne Bay, as whales surfaced around the boat then disappeared into the deep. In true Alaskan spirit, the raw lumber was milled, peeled and notched by hand, along this final frontier. It took seven years of hard work to finish this magnificent three-story lodge!

Since then facilities have been expanded to accommodate additional guests – up to 19 – and provide more amenities. The lodge is still privately owned and operated, maintaining Boardwalk’s high standards of excellence and personal touch that have made it the “showplace of Alaskan lodges.”

Alaska’s Boardwalk Lodge is an equal opportunity provider under permit from the U.S. Forest Service.

Guest Comments

★★★★★
Fantastic Corporate Outing
"We have held a corporate outing at Alaska's Boardwalk Lodge for the last 4 years (and several times in years past), and we have booked our trip for next year. There is no where else that I have been able to find that will provide the hospitality that we desire for our corporate outing. All of our guests continually talk about the great time that they had on the trip. I am not sure you can find an experience like this anywhere else in the world."
