La Caleta means "safe cove" in Spanish and infers warmth and security. Our boathouse in Sadie Cove reflects the whimsy and delight of this safe, protected anchorage. La Caleta is a building constructed with homespun creativity and enthusiasm. Willie and Marcee built this haven themselves using locally milled lumber, natural materials and elbow grease.
The
setting is spectacular—peaks shoot from the water as the tide line constantly
reshapes the vista. La Caleta is a beautiful place to nestle
into to enjoy the natural rhythms of the wilderness. Folks familiar with
the area can enjoy peaceful, private time, doing independent adventures,
enjoying the solitude. Kayaks are available for rent and Sadie Cove is
a great place to explore by foot or boat. Sailwood Adventures can also
provide guides to help you enjoy the area if hiking or kayaking interests
you.Accommodations:
La Caleta
is equipped with a full kitchen including cooking and eating utensils,
hot and cold running water, electricity, both wood and gas heat.
There is a small
refrigerator with limited ice making capacity—you may want to bring
extra
in a portable cooler. The stove and oven use propane as does
the
water heater. The water is potable and is some of the finest on
the
planet.

Gull
Rock Water Taxi Loop
On your trip to
or from La Caleta Wilderness Lodge, why not add a boat
tour of Gull Rock? This is a world class seabird rookery—the summer breeding
ground for thousands of cormorants, seagulls, kittiwakes, common
murres and horned puffins.
It's fascinating to see all these birds together with their nesting
babies. Hear the wild, raucous alarms when a raiding bald eagle swoops
by. Gull Rock is a Kachemak Bay "must see." Add $30 to your water taxi fare.

The upstairs sleeping area is one open room, family style, suitable for up to eight people, and is equipped with beds and mattresses. As you can see, the view from the upstairs window is something special.

The sauna is wood fired, has a dressing room and connects to the bath house. The bath house has a shower, sink and a composting toilet for eco-friendly waste disposal. The sauna/bathhouse is separate from the main building, but connected by a comfortable boardwalk.

There are grills as well as a fire pit for cooking with wood.You should also bring a day pack, water bottle, suntan lotion, sunglasses, rain gear, polypro or pile top and bottom, tennis or camp shoes, extra socks, bug dope, binoculars...
