At the end of every summer vacation, we always rate our top 3 experiences and this was top 1 for all 4 family members. We absolutely loved our stay at Fox Island. Worth every penny. I hope the owners of the lodge understand that it is the staff which make this place what it is! In Alaska, beautiful views are a dime a dozen. The rooms were comfort and simple. The bathroom small. What makes this place special is feeling well taken care of by the people. Go on a kayak excursion and come back to a delicious meal with extra ice cream because the chief heard it was your favorite. Spotting wildlife with Luc every night at dinner. Brady is a rockstar with customer service. We mention wanting to do some catch and release fishing. Brady tracked down a fishing pole from Eddie who was kind enough to let us use his personal poles. Brady made sure our boys enjoyed a hot sauna every night. Brady open the store to make sure we could shop for souvenirs because of course we waited until last minute. We did a family cold plunge and ended the night around a campfire with s’mores all arranged by the staff. The chief made a special dessert for my son and I for our birthdays. A staff full of accommodating people who want to make your stay rememberable. The staff deserve all the accolades and compensation of a job well done. We were never in our room. We were always out socializing with a drink in our hand, a full belly, and big smiles on our faces. Just come and enjoy. Then end your visit on a high with the national park cruise back to the mainland.
