Plan to arrive on June 24 and leave the morning of July 4th (or 5th if you would like to stay for Cordova 4th of July festivities.
Unfortunately, our ferry is undergoing changes in scheduling and options, so you may want to opt to come by air, as the schedule is uncertain at this time.





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, and you will be stepping right in the middle of our ongoing fishing season. Lots of boats,  trucks, and fishermen running around!

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
Room with 1 queen bed- $135 plus tax per night  
Room with 2 queen beds- $145 plus tax per night  
Two bedroom suites with up to 4 beds- $175 plus tax per night  
For those looking to travel with pets,   they do allow pets, with a $30 "companion"  fare.
Dinners are $38/person and will be offered each night between 6 and 9 PM.  Breakfasts are available for $17/person from 6 to 9 am.  All of our meals and activities are simply charged to the guest room and we can settle up for all charges at check out.

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.

You can view some good pictures of rooms on this site http://www.alaskaheliski.com/location/orca-lodge/

Kings Chamber is a 3 Bedroom Fully Furnished Seasonal Apartment Rental. I have held it with the manager for the the week of the event. It is still available for a group to rent. Rate is $160 per night for single occupancy plus plus 12% tax. They usually charge an extra $20 per person, but their SPECIAL RATE is just the $160 plus tax for the whole house. There are 3 bedrooms. 2 with a queen bed in each and one bedroom with a twin bed. It would be a good spot for a small group to rent together and is still available at this time. If you contact me, I can release it and your group can work directly with managers.  It is about a ten minute walk from the Cordova Center. Cordova is safe to walk at night, especially because it won't be dark this time of year!
