Olds River Inn offers guest cabins with two or four beds, a bathroom, and a kitchen that is outfitted with pots, pans and dishes; a microwave and stove; and a small fridge. The inn is on the island's road system, and there are several rivers and creeks that guests can drive to within a few minutes that are prime for trout and salmon. Saltwater fishing charters can also be arranged from the inn. The cabins at the Olds River Inn have both river and ocean access views, so it is possible to have your evening meal on the porch of your cabin while watching humpback whales swimming in the bay and bears walking along the river searching for salmon. Internet and satellite TV keep you connected while you're at the inn. Pets are not allowed.

Zachar Bay Lodge
Zachar Bay Lodge offers salt and fresh water fishing adventures to guests, who can try for five species of salmon (chum, sockeye, king, silver and pink), depending on when they stay.
