What to Bring to Kayakers Cove

Kayakers Cove is located in a secluded wilderness setting. With that in mind, we've compiled a list of items you'll want to bring to make your stay with us as comfortable and enjoyable as as possible.

Food and Beverages

You will want to bring your own food and beverages, including some drinking water. We do have a gravity fed water line from a nearby spring and this water we can filter for drinking. The kitchen is equipped with a propane stove, sink, pots and pans, dishes and utensils. If you bring food and beverages that need to be kept cold, please bring an ice chest.  And please be prepared to carry out all your recycling in sturdy containers or heavy plastic bags.

Firewood

Firewood is essential at Kayakers Cove as all our buildings are heated with wood, and sitting 'round the campfire is a popular pastime for most guests (especially since the fire ring is in the gazebo out of the rain with a view of Resurrection Bay) Also, you may want to relax in the wood fired sauna after a day of playing outdoors.

Firewood is usually available at local shops including Safeway, Seward Marketplace, The Fish House, Essential One, or Miller’s Landing.

 Lighting

You may want to bring lighting in the form of propane or battery powered lanterns, or solar powered lights/string lights.

Appropriate Clothing

Bring clothing for layering.  Long underwear, wool, fleece, warm socks, rain gear, and rubber boots or shoes that can get wed.  A comfy pair of shoes/slippers for wearing inside is always a good idea.

Bedding

Please, note that we do not supply bedding for our cabins or our bunkhouse. You'll need to bring your own bedding and/or sleeping bag when you stay with us.  Or you can rent a sleeping bag from us for $5 per stay. Please indicate in your reservation that you will need sleeping bags to rent and let us know again when you arrive.

No Pets!

Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed at Kayakers Cove other than dogs owned by our caretakers.
