About Coffman Cove Lodging

More than 40 years ago, Jerry and Caroline Hedges built what was simply known as the bunkhouse—a place where friends could gather to experience everything they loved about Alaska: incredible fishing, breathtaking scenery, and the kind of hospitality that turns strangers into lifelong friends.

What began as a simple place to stay has grown into a tradition spanning generations.

Today, Coffman Cove Lodging is proudly owned and operated by Jerry's son, Travis Hedges, and his wife, Heather. Together, they continue the legacy Jerry and Caroline started, welcoming every guest with the same warmth, local knowledge, and genuine passion for Alaska that made the bunkhouse so special all those years ago.

Many of our guests return year after year. Some have been making the trip for more than four decades, becoming part of our extended family and creating memories that span generations. Around here, you're not just booking a fishing trip—you become part of a tradition built on friendship, adventure, and unforgettable days on the water.

Whether you're chasing trophy King Salmon, hauling in giant Halibut, or simply taking in the beauty of Southeast Alaska, our goal remains exactly as Jerry intended all those years ago.

Because, as Jerry always said...

"It's all about the fun."
