Cordova accommodations are simple, yet comfortable and casual. Surrounded by incredible scenery, the rooms serve as a functional home base for your daily adventures. Expect functional, not fancy, and you won't be taken by surprise. Look up and around...the views are incredible. 

We are seriously all about fishing here, and not a resort community. You will be stepping right in the middle of our busy ongoing fishing season. Lots of commercial boats, trucks, and fishermen running around! Net piles, machinery, and metal warehouses is the norm.

Many of the lodging options have kindly offered a special rate. I am still working on special rates on some of these options. These will be posted shortly.

Although the official event ends the afternoon/evening of the 28th, the gansey exhibit will be on display through June 30, and it is an option to stay longer for further adventures and explorations.

ORCA ADVENTURE LODGE




Orca Lodge was in recent years the site of a functioning salmon cannery.  Recently converted to a lodge, located within a few minutes drive from town, this housing opportunity has a few different options.  One of its special features is the cookhouse with chef in residence.  There are a few group family style rooms that if reserved soon would be a great opportunity for this group for groups coming together or meeting up for the event.  They are kindly offereing us a special rate for the event.   They are not available on line so they will need to call for these rates.  Tell them you are with the NET LOFT FIBER & FRIENDS GROUP

Orca is right next to the water and has great scenic views.  If you are coming with a family, there are family suites such as the two bedroom suites listed above, and there are activities such as halibut fishing based right out of the lodge.  Rooms are not fancy in any way, and the environment is truly the remains of an old cannery, but if you like an authentic rustic experience where you can walk out and watch the otters floating by, you will love Orca.  It is about a five minute drive from town and they have a van that can transport you back and forth at no charge.
