11 friends spread across 2 adjacent cabins was a great experience. Views of the bay came with daily sunsets on the water and visits from our pet whale, eagles and Whiskey the fishing dog. Yakutat Charters comes right to the Leonard's dock to pick us up; couldn't have been easier. All support staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Cabins were cleaned daily and had all the amenities for us to focus on having fun. Fish processing was fantastic. Dawn and JT (caretakers) are super friendly and were there to help us with every special need. I'm looking forward to our next stay already. Thank you, Dawn and JT!
This year's trip to Yakutat once again found me at Leonard's Landing and it was yet again another great experience. On the hotel side on their business, you can expect common use areas like the living room outside of the office and kitchen to relax in and prep meals. These are also great places to share and learn about adventures with other anglers. Leonard's also features a dry room take the wet out of gear and clothes after a day on the river or longer camp-out. It sure is nice to start your day dry!! Dawn and her team did everything that they could to make my stay the best possible experience. A special thanks goes out to her and the rest of her crew at Leonard's Landing! Sincerely, Aaron
Gary, one of the guides, that the lodge uses... Not to be trusted...... Wife took deposit months ago... He double booked... Blamed everyone but himself for being a crappy businessman... Frankly, not a great fishing guide eitger.... Stay away from Gary Lenards comp'd skiffs for day, but, you don't pay thousands, and expect a guide, and it don't happen.... Id have gone elseware... I'll go back... Book with a guide directly that I now know...
This is a phenomenal place to immerse oneself into the REAL Alaska experience as well as to take in some fantastic fishing! The beautifully-managed lodge provides comfortable rooms/ cabins to accommodate a wide range of guests from a single person to an entire family. The peninsula-like setting on which the lodge is situated proveds a beautiful background with Sitka Spruce forestry, gravel beaches, and a lovely view of Yakutat harbor and nearby islands. The lodge is located conveniently close to the town of Yakutat (and only a few miles from the airport). Ample fishing for all 5 species of salmon as well as Steelhead and other species is available on the nearby Situk River; species vary throughout the year. The bay location facilitates fishing from bay boats as well as ocean charters (which focus on salmon and halibut). There are stunning glaciers in the area to which you can take a charter (Hubbard Glacier) or a hike (glacier at Harlequin Lake). I have been to Alaska over 20 times. Leonard's Landing Lodge is my favorite!…
After a long COVID-19 caused delay, my wife and I, all five of our grandkids, and my daughter and her husband (9 of us), spent a long weekend in Yakutat, Alaska fishing, exploring the small community, and enjoying the wondrous natural Alaskan beauty. The Leonard's Landing facilities were nicer than we had expected. We stayed three nights in adjoining cabins facing the water and the magnificent mountain range. Waking early each morning to the early sunrise was breath-taking, creating a mental image that none of us will forget. The Leonard's Landing staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful. Our rooms were clean, neat, comfortable, and well equipped. After our first day of charter fishing, the lodge staff cleaned a small halibut for us, we carried it to the cabin, and my granddaughter used the cabin's kitchen facilities to prepare perhaps the best fish dinner I have ever had. Fresh halibut from the ocean, with boiled potatoes and green beans purchased from the small local store. The housekeeping staff managed to clean and organize our cabin when we were away, assuring that everything was neat, tidy, and well stocked for our return. Needless to say, Leonard's Landing and its staff were significant contributors to a very memorable and fun family vacation. My family and I thank them for helping create life-long memories.…
