"Thanks so much for the vacation of a lifetime and for sharing your lovely piece of paradise with us.  The fishing was superb ...The cabin and facilities were excellent, great freezers, smokers and sealers, and sitting on the lanai...and watching the deer on the island, the otters and seals on the waters, eagles in the sky was the most peaceful experience.  We feel as if we're leaving with a new found sensation for life and memorable moments with new friends.  These days at Alaskan Escape will be in our hearts forever..."

Wayne and Lone, Kona, HI

"First and foremost, the hospitality was beyond expectations.  Thank you!...

The fishing was lots of fun!  We spent an entire day bottom fishing and caught oodles...

I feel like I made friends and hated to leave.  It was peaceful, the bald eagles were magnificent."

Dianne, Bob and Richard, Arvada and Grand Junction, CO

"We appreciate all of the hard work that you have put into Alaskan Escape.  The logistics alone seem daunting.  But, your efforts have made our stay a memorable one and we will be back.

Steve and Doug, Davis, CA

"Great week, great fishing, great people, beautiful area.  And what a wonderful escape.  Thank you all for a week to remember."

                                                                    Guy, Redmond, WA

"...The experience was just great.  The living quarters ... were very comfortable.  ... The Lund boats where we knocked them dead.  There are no fish left for anyone else.  

    Thanks for being great hosts and we will see you next year."

"Great time all week.  Thanks for the hospitality from everyone.  Nice escape from reality.  Looking forward to coming back up here."

                                                                Blake, Snoqualmie, WA

"...I think, in retrospect, what we really enjoyed was that it was not crowded.  Compared to the Kenai, POW is really amazingly quiet. ..."

                                                                Joel, Provo, Utah

"Colorado guys visit was great.  Rustic  nature, do-it-yourself fun was way beyond our expectations.  Plenty of adventure which let us escape.  Highlight for us was catching silvers (10 - 14 lbs.) on fly fishing poles using the downrigger, and the Dungeness crab feast on your last night.  Hope to see you next year and bring along our families to see this beautiful country and experience your Alaskan Escape."

"Great place to kick back.  Great fishing, crabbing and best of all, nice, friendly people.  See you again."

                                                            Brent, Lakewood CO

"Great place, great format ... I would not change anything ... Alaskan Escape is unique and I think there is a good market for this kind of resort.  We had a great time and will be back."

                                                            Scott, Golden, CO

"... your attention to making our week here great is appreciated.  Everyone was so helpful. ... We fished and fished and nearly fill the huge freezer.  We all enjoyed the boats and lodging...we will be back."
