Unalakleet River Lodge Alaska
2010 Rates and Information
The rate per person is $4,950. And, it’s based on double occupancy.
When does it begin
The 2010 season will begin June 14th and run through the week of Sept. 5th. The
packages run from Sunday to Saturday.
You said you’d meet me at the airport
Yes, we’ll be there. And we’ll transfer you and your luggage to the boat for a
short river trip to the lodge. After you’ve settled in to your cabin, join us in
the main lodge and check out the view. The bar will be open and the hors
d’oeuvres will be ready.
That evening you’ll meet your guide and the other staff members, talk about
the schedule for the week and just spend time appreciating where you are 210
miles south of the Arctic Circle, 140 miles south of Nome, in an area that was
vital to the United States security (also known as the DEW Line). We have maps,
books, and occasionally one of the local residents stopping in to share
information and history on the area.
IS IT GOING TO BE REALLY CROWDED
No, although the lodge can handle 19 people (and we make exceptions for groups),
Jeff and I are committed to keeping the guest numbers small. We’d like to our
reputation of being unique, intimate and exclusive. It makes your experience
more memorable as well as ours.

WHAT’S THE WEATHER LIKE.
Alaskan weather is ummm, variable. You may enjoy an entire week of sunshine,
but there’s always the possibility of rain. So, you’ll need to bring rain
gear and warm clothing. Temps are on an average of 60’s during the day and 50’s
in the evening. And during June and July, you’ll see a lot of daylight.
TAKE MY STUFF DON’T TAKE MY STUFF
We have rods and reels that we’re more than happy to let you use. We also have
hip boots so your tootsies don’t get wet. You may want to bring your waders or
that favorite rod and reel you’ve been dying to try. Our tackle shop stocks
just about anything you might need and the prices aren’t too bad either.
After booking, you’ll receive a what to bring, what to wear and what’s
just not needed.
I SAW THE PHOTOS BUT TELL ME WHAT THE CABINS ARE REALLY LIKE
We all know you’re here for one thing and one thing only Fishing! Call
it pamper, call it lavish we like to call it "bush" comfort! You
won’t believe it! All the bed linens and towels are Polo/Ralph Lauren. Hey,
comfort is important and what better way to guarantee comfort choose
quality.
NO SALT NO FAT NO CALORIES
So, you have a special diet. That’s not a problem. Our chef is happy to
accommodate special dietary needs for our guests. Just let us know. The calorie
issue, well, that will be up to you!
THE GODS, I MEAN THE GUIDES
Whether it’s your first time to hold a rod or you hold a "world’s
record", you’ll be impressed with the experience and expertise of our
staff, as well as their commitment to safety and service.
YOU’D PROBABLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE DAILY LIMITS ARE
As of today, the daily limits for 2010 haven’t been published. However, we
thought we’d share the numbers from the past.
Rather impressive don’t you
think?

| Arctic Char only 2 over 20" 10 |
| Arctic Grayling only 1 over 15" 5 |

I CANT STAY AN ENTIRE WEEK
Three and four day packages, between June 14th and September 5th,
can be arranged within 45 days of desired travel dates if space is
available.
WHAT IF I HAVE A REALLY LARGE GROUP
We do try to accommodate groups from time to time. As I mentioned, the lodge
will handle 19 maximum. What we’ve found, is that when a group comes for
meetings, fishing and more meetings, it’ a different environment people know
each other, they have a set agenda and there’s usually someone delegated as a
tour guide. It works!
ID LIKE TO MAKE A RESERVATION
A 50% deposit is required to confirm and guarantee space. After that, space will
be released and not guaranteed. When we’ve received your deposit, a written
confirmation will be sent to you and will give you the date that final payment
is due I’ll tell you now, it’s 60 days prior to your confirmed arrival
date. You’ll also get a reminder before it’s due.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE TO CANCEL
| A $250 per person Non-Refundable service charge for complete cancellation
after confirmation and receipt of deposit. |
| Cancellation made within 90 days of confirmed date is subject to 50%
cancellation fee. |
| Cancellation made within 30 days is subject to 100% cancellation fee. |
| No refund/credit for unused portion of package. No refunds shall be made
after guest arrival. |
| Alternate dates may be specially arranged based upon space availability. |
