A Special Place
We are located in the heart of one of the largest pristine areas left on the planet Earth. The Hobbit Hole is a private inholding in the US Forest Service designated wilderness area called the Inian Islands- Lemesurier- Pleasant Island Wilderness. This spot was originally patented as a base for one of the largest, most productive fox farms in southeast Alaska in the 1920’s. At the northern entrance to the famed Inside Passage, we are right next to the edge of the earth to the west, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve and the Fairweather mountain range to the north, and the rest of the southeast Alaska panhandle to the south and east. Being at the beginning of the end of the salmons’ migration to their natal streams, all five species of salmon who spawn in northern southeast Alaska pass through this corridor. All this potential food results in an abundance of sea mammals and birds and other wildlife. You will surely be able to see a sea lion haul out, sea otters, seals, humpback whales and numerous species of sea birds as well as multiple sightings of bald eagles, our national bird.
