We love Prince William Sound! In our pursuit to spend more time in the Sound we developed Port Ashton Lodge a cabin rental and full service lodge. Located on the 1918 Port Ashton Saltery site our retreat includes rustic log cabins and a Beach House that overlook Sawmill Bay.

We are seven miles from the Gulf of Alaska, on Evans Island. In our remote location it is common to catch barn door sized Halibut, Lingcod and Salmon, while viewing bears, eagles, whales, otters and the breath taking scenery.

Randy and Delta Junction family friends built the log cabins that sleep up to 7 guests. Yes, we have hot showers, flushing toilets and propane heaters in all the cabins.

Very Big Tides




Tides in Alaska are big...these photos show the Beach House at high tide and low tide. The high tide was 14'4". Fortunately, the Beach House can float...there is a ramp up to the deck so you can enter and exit without swimming.

One of the benefits of the big tides is we can use them to move heavy items - like lumber or a house (see Beach House Remodel blog). And during a low tide we can dig for little neck clams.

Our neighbors, Craig and Camille, dug this bucket of clams...it was a family affair with their children and Camille's sister and brother-in-law.
