If you choose to take the water taxi, it will pick you up at the South Public Boat ramp at the time you specify. Parking is directly adjacent to the dock for $10/day.

Marathon Helicopters (907-224-3616) The flight takes approximately 10 minutes for up to 3 people and gear.  If you choose to take the helicopter, departure is from the Seward airport.

Finally, if you own your own kayaks or boats, you may provide your own transportation. Granite Point is a 7 mile paddle from Fourth of July Beach. If you choose to motor your own boat to the property, there is great anchorage right in front of the property.

Granite Point has partnered with Kayak Adventures Worldwide to offer unforgettable guided experiences for our guests.

Pepper Creek Cabin is located in a secluded set back off of the beach. It is the most accessible cabin from the drop-off beach, and avoids the steep stairs and trails. The Mountain Lodge, The Ledge, and Fox Den Cabin are located on a 150′ cliff overlooking Resurrection Bay. You must ascend 84 steps in 4 staircases and a short 30-yard trail to arrive at these cabins- plus a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire bay. Wolf Ridge Cabin is 500′ further up the mountain from the lodge and requires a 20+ minute hike to reach.

Those with cabins up the cliff (all except Pepper Creek) should consider fitness levels and be prepared to be self reliant, as you will need to carry all of your belonging up the stairs and trail with you.

Granite Point is an adventurer’s paradise. There is no shortage of things to explore during your stay here. We provide complimentary use of kayaks and paddle boards. We supply PFDs, paddles, spray skirts, and additional safety gear you may need.

From our beach you can explore tide pools and sea caves during the low tide. Additionally, the fishing from the shore is incredible. You can fish from the beach or our kayaks, and have a shot at catching King, Silver, or Pink Salmon, Halibut, or Rockfish.

We also maintain a hiking trail that takes you into the alpine above Resurrection Bay. 

Need a break from being outside? Each cabin is stocked with games and books for your enjoyment. 

See Things To Do for more information. 

Children are allowed on the property, however, the main lodge, Fox Den, and The Ledge are all near a cliff side without a fence or railing. Parents must be prepared to watch children very closely in these areas. Children are not allowed to play near the cliffsides.

Granite Point does allow pets on the property ($20 pet fee). Please note that though your cabin is private, it is in proximity to other guests. Please consider whether your dog interacts well with strangers and other dogs while booking. 

We follow Leave No Trace and Pack-In Pack-Out principles, meaning that solid waste must be picked up and carried out when you leave. 

While rarely seen on the property, they are native to the area. They are seen most frequently on the hill sides in May when they come out of hibernation or fishing at the various salmon streams that empty into Resurrection Bay. When hiking in bear country keep your head up watching for any activity and make noise (clap or sing) to alert bears to your presence. Please consider bringing bear spray for any excursions you may go on.

Water at The Mountain Lodge is double filtered rain water. The Ledge, Fox Den and Wolf Ridge cabins have rain water collection barrels that gravity feed into the kitchen sink for dish washing and hand washing. Each cabin is outfitted with a water filter for drinking water. We filter water directly from Pepper Creek.

Here are the essentials:

• Ice for coolers
• A backpack for carrying things up the stairs and trails
• Rain Gear
• Hiking boots and whatever shoes you may want to wear on the beach, kayaking, etc.
• Multiple sets of warm layers (puffy jackets are nice to have, even in the middle of summer)
• Headlamp or flashlight
• Sun protection

We provide clean, private, and well appointed outhouses for all cabins.

Granite Point is not able to provide guests with food and asks that guests bring all of the meals, snacks, and beverages that they may want. The cabins have a “take what you need, leave what you don’t” system, which can be used, but not relied on when planning for your trip.

Each cabin is fully equipped with any kitchen supplies you may need. Cabins also have stoves for cooking. Propane is provided with your stay.  

Each cabin also has coolers available for use. Please bring your own ice if you choose to use them.

The Mountain Lodge guests have an energy efficient refrigerator and freezer to use. All the other cabins have bear proof coolers for your use so bring in bags of ice!
