The Buskin River Inn is an ideal place to stay for those looking for quiet, comfortable accommodations in an idyllic setting, surrounded by excellent fishing, hiking, and sightseeing spots. It's located 6 miles from downtown Kodiak, alongside the Buskin River. Although the river isn't visible from any room in the hotel, west-facing rooms have terrific views of nearby Mount Barometer and other peaks. Wildlife enthusiasts will be in their element here: the area around the hotel is a haven for bald eagles, white-tailed deer, foxes, and other small animals. The hotel's restaurant, the Eagle's Nest, is a local favorite.
