Halibut Cove Lodge is setting the standard of excellence for adventure, lodging and dining in Alaska. Guests have likened their stay at the lodge to a cozy visit with great friends - but with better food and services.

You will get to know the owners, Laura and Rick, during your stay since the couple maintains an active role in running the lodge.

This comfortable yet elegant atmosphere is created by design. After falling in love with Alaska during his years as a commercial fisherman, Owner/Operator Rick Betance, along with his wife Laura, set out to create this special wilderness resort. At Halibut Cove Lodge, guests enjoy an incredible Alaskan experience without sacrificing comfort, service, or amenities.

Rick's commitment to first-class service runs through every aspect of the business. Activities and lodge experience are intimate, refined and personalized. Guest loads are capped to ensure ideal staff-to-guest ratio. No detail is left untied. No smile is allowed to slip. No guest leaves feeling less than totally satisfied.

Rick, his family, and his extended family of staff members are committed to sustaining a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere at the lodge where service is indeed refined, but decidedly down to earth.

"Creating Halibut Cove Lodge has been a labor of love for me, and I realize that I am one of those fortunate people who truly love what they do. And what's not to love? I work with a great staff, in a beautiful wilderness setting, helping people fully enjoy the very best that Alaska has to offer".
