When we re-visited the November 30, 2005 article in USA Today, we can't help but to be pleased to be selected as one of the few Luxury Lodges in Alaska.
There are a lot of Alaska Fishing Lodges, but we have spent years separating Talon Lodge from the rest of the pack. In doing so, we took our spectacular private island location and created a true Alaska Resort with: Gourmet Cuisine, Massage Services, 1-to-1 guest to staff ratio and services that can not be found anywhere else in Alaska.
I guess the writer from USA Today, agreed - Here is his take on Talon:
In the Alaskan wilderness, the Talon Lodge flies in renowned chefs — Hawaii's Sam Choy and Napa Valley's John Ash — to cook for guests at the small island resort in Sitka.
Owner Philip Younger, a former hotel marketing executive, bought the property in 2003. He renovated old existing lodge cabins for $1.5 million, added a spa and bought larger boats, two of which are catamarans. Packages run from $2,800 to $3,600 per person, per stay.
"You're going to see a lot more of these upscale environments," said Younger. "People love the spectacular settings."
It's nice to be recognized for your vision and hard work.
