Incredible view, gourmet food, and a homey atmosphere - what more could you want! For four days we were pampered and treated like family. Activities are extensive and varied interests are accommodated. Kayaking, fishing, hiking and excellent photographic opportunities abound. Fresh oysters from their oyster farm; fresh greens, a just caught silver salmon for dinner! Desserts to die for! I... More

Wonderful stay! We were made to feel part of the family. Guided activities included hiking, and kayaking. Even when it rained, they found excursions for us. Cannot say enough good about it.

Should the following be too wordy, simply book at least a 3 night stay and you’ll be glad you did. My husband and I stayed at the Lodge for 5 nights towards the end of August. We flew into Anchorage the night before and took Grant Air to Homer. Once in Homer, we caught a ride to the Spit from... More

Firstly, this not a true "wilderness" lodge. While the building and setting are impressive, it is set on a populated harbor. The only thing wild about it is its owners, who might do better sticking to their oyster farming and moose hunting than to hosting visitors to lovely Alaska. Their prices are outrageous for what they offer...skimpy breakfasts that hardly... More

To spend time living with the wonderful Ridgewood family in an idyllic setting overlooking halibut bay was the icing on the cake-from Lucinda and Jess's home cooked gourmet meals and Kevin's freshly caught oysters from their oyster farm to Bowman's personalized exciting daily excursions fishing and watching eagles scoop fish 10 feet from the boat, kayaking in a glacial lake...

Also the meals that they prepare for you are out of this world. Lucinda truely has a passion for cooking and it comes through. We highly recommend taking advantage of all... More

We stayed 3 nights and would have stayed longer if we could. It is run by Kevin, Lucinda, Bowman and Jess Sidelinger and they make you feel part of their family. A number of guided hikes, sea and lake kayaking and boat trips are included in the price. Bowman was very knowledgeable and a patient and quality guide. We saw... More

The Ridgewood is lovely and the Sidelingers are a very nice family. However, you should know that you will be basically living with them. The rooms are small, there are no dressers or hangers, and there is not much room to sit. Your free time will probably be spent downstairs with the family as they carry on their lives. We... More

We loved our 4 days with the Sidelinger family. The Lodge is fantastic, and has very comfortable and clean rooms. The food is outstanding and very varied. The standard is very high. All the outings we went on were very well organised, and exceptionally well thought out. All details were covered. There is a spectre of activities to participate in,... More
