Petersburg, Alaska
Beachcomber Lodge is your quiet place on Mitkof Island — a comfortable basecamp for fishing, hiking, and simply breathing in the salmon-rich air of Southeast Alaska.
About Us
We opened Beachcomber Lodge because we believe a good night's sleep shouldn't require leaving the wilderness behind.
Located on Mitkof Highway in Petersburg, we sit at the edge of the Tongass National Forest — where the road meets the water and the only traffic is the occasional salmon boat passing through the inlet. Our guests are fishermen, hikers, writers, families, and anyone who has ever wanted to stay somewhere that feels honest.
There is no lobby with a ringing phone and a stack of magazines. Just clean rooms, a quiet porch, and the sound of water you can hear even through the windows.
Accommodations
Every room is cleaned with care and set up so you can actually relax — not just sleep.
A clean, quiet room with a comfortable bed, fresh linens, and everything you need for a good night. No fuss, no noise — just rest.
More space for a second person or your gear. Two comfortable beds, room to unpack, and the same quiet you'd expect from us.
A larger space for families or extended stays. Extra room to spread out after a long day on the water or the trail.
For current rates and availability, please contact us directly. We're happy to help you find the right room for your trip.
What's Around
Here's what you'll find when you stay with us.
Petersburg is known for salmon, halibut, and steelhead. We can point you toward the best local operators and help you plan your trip on the water.
Miles of trail network through old-growth rainforest start just minutes from our door. From easy walks to full-day hikes, the Tongass is yours.
A working waterfront town with a Norwegian heritage, a salmon cannery history, and a community that still values showing visitors a good time.
Eagles, otters, deer, and the occasional bear — all part of the daily scenery. Petersburg gives you wilderness without requiring a plane ride.
Located right off Mitkof Highway with free parking. The ferry terminal, grocery store, and downtown are all within a short drive.
A quiet neighborhood, well-lit parking, and a lodge that takes safety and cleanliness seriously. Sleep easy in the middle of the woods.
Some places you visit and check off a list. Petersburg is the kind of place you remember because it made you slow down — and that's exactly what Beachcomber Lodge is for.
