Looking for properties in Valdez can be a challenge depending on the time of year. The Robe Lake Lodge is a great alternative to downtown and not that far out (less than 15 minutes). The setting is quiet and the accommodations are nice. My friends and I stayed in the Eagle's Nest Cabin. It has ample room for six people making it an economical destination for a family or a bunch of friends. I searched for other properties and came up empty-handed. The ones that did have room looked more like a motel than a hotel (a bit shabby at best). If you are considering the area, consider the Robe Lake Lodge. Nice place, very well run. Jim read more

I would stay here again! Beautiful views overlooking the lake. We stayed in the lodge and the room was very small, but it was clean, comfy, and in our price range, which is all that mattered. It also had plenty of hooks to hang towels and coats. The lodge is very well maintained, and the shared bathroom stayed clean and put together. The breakfast options were a nice touch! read more

Robe Lake Lodge - View from the hot tub - Hotels Near Me - Valdez, Alaska

Please know that this place is a hostel. They promote themselves as a lodge and make people think that you will have this wonderful room and bathroom, but after we showed up from a long drive, we realized that we are sharing the bathroom with seven to 8 other people. For the price we paid, we totally felt that we were lied to and ripped off. Not to mention, there's nobody there, and you do your own self Check in. So you basically have no service or anyone there to help answer any questions. Only via text or phone call. You pay an expensive price under the pretense that you have wonderful lodging on the lake, only to find out that you are sharing a bathroom with eight other strangers. Do not work this place.It is not worth the price. read more

gorgeous, and all around fantastic. the price, the views, the comfort, and meeting new people. 10/10 would recommend

Booked 2 nights in a cabin about 3 times the size of the double bed it contained for significantly more than we could have stayed in a major hotel on the Valdez waterfront. We had to park up hill and walk down a gravel road about 100 feet to the cabin. The 4 high steps up to the cabin had no hand railing and there was no railing around the deck. We are in our 70s and we needed to use hiking sticks to negotiate the steps. While the room was equipped with a sink, a microwave and a fridge, it was tiny. The only dilapidated chairs were out on the front porch. The bathroom consisted of a toilet and a small shower. The water system was similar to an RV with a water and a waste tank. Whenever we used water, noisy pumps ran for a minute or so. Heat was from an electric cast iron stove but we did not need it. The cabin was supposed to have internet and there was a router in the room that provided a wi-fi signal but no internet connection. We called the manager the afternoon we arrived and it was never fixed in 2 days. We could use all our devices up the hill near another cabin so we know it was not our equipment. Power failed during our first night and was restored early in the morning. After having a sumptuous cabin that was 3-4 times bigger the previous night in Copper Center and included breakfast, this was a major disappointment for $65 a night more expensive. We considered leaving after the 1st night and forfeiting our rent. read more

Beware- if you are renting a bnb room here, you will be sharing a bathroom with up to 7 strangers. there was no spray sanitizer in the bathroom to clean surfaces after each use and cleaning staff only attend to it Once a day. Appalling that they are not following standards of Covid prevention from CDC or local health departments. Rooms are like an overpriced hostel- no furniture or table to store your things, no cubbies. No closets, just a bare room with bed and a curtain rod that falls down when you close the curtains. We were in a room with shared wall to the bathroom and got to enjoy the sound of each guest peeing. Every word was heard from the room next door thru paper thin walls. No way to get down to the lake and no onsite staff to help with issues. Way below the standards of ten other lodgings that we enjoyed on this Alaska trip including very basic cabins. Don't take a chance, look elsewhere. read more

AK reviewer: Great location, and nice accommodations. Had been repeat customers. Unfortunately this location favors tourists over local reservations. Over the winter, our group's already standing and 'secured' reservation was canceled over a heli-skiing group with little courtesy or warning. Hosts gave us a very "tough beans" attitude when communicating. Accommodations were made elsewhere. Additionally, although you may rent out the entire lodge, during the winter months the hot tub does not get turned on anymore unless you're also a fancy tour group. Lost what made it charming to begin with. read more

This place is the perfectly rustic but luxurious at the same time. Great for a few nights gets away. Close to downtown Valdez but far enough away as well. Has running and hot water, flush toilets, a comfy bed and private. Also quite clean. Pricing was competitive with surrounding options. Bonus: they allow pets in a couple of their cabins with a deposit! Views are wonderful and the booking folks were kind and helpful. Would totally stay here again and highly recommend it. read more

My family has stayed here for 2 days now and are sad to be leaving!!!! The accommodations are wonderful and the scenery is BREATHTAKING. We stayed in the main lodge. I wish we could have used the kitchen to cook but without renting the entire lodge that isn't an option. So research the restaurants close by in Valdez. The owners are not on premises but were easily accessible by phone. read more

Thank you so much Tabitha! Really appreciate the customer service! Beautiful location.

The ease of check in and hospitality was great! We don't stay in B&B's as a general rule, but it worked out perfect for what we needed last minute. It was clean, quiet and well appointed. Thanks! read more

Great cabin. Part of a lodge which had additional cabins. Very private and nice clean interior. Everything worked out perfectly for our visit. read more

This place is beyond dreamy! The perfect getaway while visiting Valdez. The lodge was stocked with everything we needed, the cleaning staff came every day and freshened everything up. We had an incredible view, hot tub, there's a fire pit that we didn't get to use do to weather - really everything you could want. The bed rooms are quiet and the beds are comfy. For those wondering about the bathroom, each floor does share a bathroom. This is more of a B&B or air B&B feel as there is no staff at the lodge, but the owners were incredibly responsive and helpful when needed. This place is really a dream - there's no where better to stay while in Valdez! Thanks for a wonderful experience! read more

Wonderful place! Very special and comfortable. Lake setting, overlooking Robe Lake.

Lots and lots of rules! Limited water for showers. Curtain to separate the bathroom from the bedroom. Main lodge and birds nest were a lot nicer than smaller secondary cabins. read more

Great spot! Gorgeous view with just the right amenities- homey lodge with thoughtful touches.

Booked 5 nights, left after two. We stayed in the Wolf Cabin. This "cabin" was not as advertised. Not only was it NOT worth $200 a night, I wouldn't have paid $50 had I seen it first. It is actually a very small trailer with flat tires with a small bed, mini fridge, microwave, RV-like toilet/shower, and small sink lined with a plywood, unfinished counter. There was no where to sit other than on the bed, which was small full-sized. Good thing we like to cuddle. The bedding was old and everything else in the trailer was old. Be careful when you flush the RV-like toilet, run the shower or turn on the sink because it is LOUD! You will undoubtedly wake up your companion and scare away any wildlife within 5 miles. You can't lock the door to secure your personal belongings when you leave to go explore. The view is of construction equipment, kind of a lake between junk and other cabins, or of old tour surrey charter buses depending on the window you look out of. It is advertised as having WiFi but we had to walk up to Eagles Nest to connect and when we walked back down the short distance to Wolf, we didn't have a strong enough signal to even use it. It is 10 miles away from town and any amenities. If you have extremely low expectations and deep pockets, this is the place for you. If not, I recommend anywhere else to include tent camping at the KOA. read more

Robe lake lodge was good and bad. Enjoyed the setting and views. Was clean and beds were comfortable. This lodge had been called 5 star by some reviewers which probably tainted my expectations The negative points are only one bathroom on lower floor serving 4 rooms and also the laundry The bath in the loft was poor at best as there was very little water pressure and took for ever to get lukewarm water. Our friends had to come downstairs and use that bathroom. There was no bathroom on the main floor. The hot tub was not useable. The water was green and skanky. That was never rectified while we were there Our group would consider staying again if these items were corrected. Overall we loved Valdez and had perfect weather to enjoy it. We did enjoy the lodge loft and living room area where we all hung out in the evenings read more

This is a beautifully built lodge overlooking Robe Lake and the surrounding mountains of Valdez. The owners are very nice and easy to work with and the lodge is set up like your own home. There's a hot tub overlooking the lake and it is extremely quiet unlike downtown Valdez in the middle of summer time. read more

We stayed at Robe Lake Lodge's Eagle's Nest Cabin during the first weekend of August 2017. The cabin offers some of the best accommodations available in the Valdez area. I'm not sure you could ask for a better view. This authentic mountain cabin is built with huge logs, and has a nice well equipped kitchen. The beds were also very comfortable with 4 separate sleeping areas, accommodating up to 8 people. The firepit out back was a nice touch, with views overlooking the Lowe River and mountains. The Wi-Fi worked well, and there was just enough cell signal to place a call or send a text. If I every make it back to the Valdez area, I would definitely stay again. read more

I can't say enough about how beautiful staying at the main lodge was. I was only there for one night. I didn't get in until around 7:30 PM. I had to leave the very next morning. I took advantage of the sauna as well as the hot tub. The hot tub is placed perfectly so that you can see all of the mountains around as well as the beautiful view of Robe Lake. The lodge was beautiful inside. The water pressure in the bathroom was weak, but that is to be expected at places like this. I can say with 100% certainty that the next time I visit Valdez, Alaska, this will be the very first place that I'd check for vacancies. read more

I come to Valdez to ride mtns. Robe lake lodge sits on top of the eastern side of Robe Lake . Really nice sunsets with a million dollar view.

Gorgeous lodge and friendly owners! We stayed in late April for our honeymoon and everything was perfect. Nice rooms and self serve breakfast. Would come back anytime and highly recommend! read more

The lodge is located overlooking Robe Lake in a beautiful scenic setting. I would have given 5 stars, but my husband and spent a sleepless night in room #1 on the ground floor, due to a loud buzzing sound which repeated about every 15 minutes. I complained to the owner, and she thought we must be light sleepers. We are not. The sound was very loud, and I hope that they have corrected it. The room was very very small with a double bed and no where to put your clothes, except for some hooks on the wall. I do not advise staying there if you are given this room. The owner moved us to a small (very, very small) cabin (The Bear cabin), and it was a huge improvement since it was quiet, even though there's not much room for suitcases. However, if you stayed in the lodge, the rooms upstairs or at the back of the ground floor, the rooms are comfortable, and the upstairs rooms have a nice sitting area overlooking the main floor. The rest of the lodge was lovely, and we enjoyed making our own toasted bagels and coffee. The view from the front deck is spectacular, and in the early morning it was wonderful to sit there in silence, listening to the sounds of the wildlife. I highly recommend staying at the lodge, but be forewarned, avoid the tiny rooms on the front of the ground floor. If you have to stay in one, make sure the buzzing sound has been repaired. read more
