Welcome to Orca Island Cabins

Orca Island Cabins offers Alaska visitors  unique yurt accommodations on a private island in scenic Humpy Cove,  Resurrection Bay, located 9 miles southeast of Seward, Alaska which is a short drive south of Anchorage.

Owned and operated by long-time Alaskans Dennis and Susan Swiderski, Orca Island Cabins invites you to enjoy comfortable and stylish overnight accommodations with Alaska wildlife and marine life right outside your cabin door. Enjoy whale watching, kayaking, fishing and hiking; or just sit back, relax and observe scenic views and wildlife from your private deck - a very special Alaska experience.

We were featured in the March 2012 MSNBC feature "Let Loose: Comfy, Back to Nature Escapes" on Travel on Today. And please enjoy a video of our property produced by Alaska HDTV in Fall 2009:

Getting Here

Access to Orca Island Cabins in Humpy Cove is via our water-taxi from Slip K-17 in the Seward Boat Harbor (30 minute cruise).  Seward is located at the head of Resurrection Bay on the Kenai Peninsula, 127 miles south of Anchorage and is accessible by automobile and rail. The drive to Seward is south along the Seward Highway (an Alaska Scenic Byway and All-American Road) and takes about 2.5 hours.
