Hidden Inlet Lodge is more than a remarkable piece of real estate—it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an extraordinary lifestyle immersed in the wild grandeur of Southeast Alaska. Situated within the 2.3 million-acre Misty Fjords National Monument, this private, grandfathered landholding offers unrivaled seclusion, legacy value, and a deep connection to nature that few properties on earth can match.

Accessible only by floatplane or boat, the lodge is positioned in the protected waters of Gwent Cove, an ideal natural harbor with deeded tidewater rights. This offering includes three meticulously restored historic cannery cabins, four thoughtfully updated timber-frame guest lodges, a stunning over-the-water Bay Bar with an approved liquor license, and an engineered $500,000 dock designed to accommodate the region’s dynamic 23-foot tides. A yellow cedar boardwalk connects the buildings, blending rustic charm with practical elegance.

From world-class salmon, halibut, and lingcod fishing to bear-watching, shrimping, crabbing, and guided mountain excursions, the lodge supports a luxurious yet rugged lifestyle in perfect harmony with its surroundings. Wildlife roams freely, the air is crisp and untouched, and each sunrise feels like an invitation to a new adventure. Guests and owners alike are treated to the rare peace that comes with complete disconnection from the modern world—yet the lodge remains fully operational, with water, power, and infrastructure thoughtfully maintained.

Whether envisioned as a private retreat, luxury eco-lodge, or generational family estate, Hidden Inlet Lodge offers unmatched natural beauty, operational infrastructure, and the rare chance to steward a truly iconic Alaskan wilderness property.
