If you like the scenic route, you can fly to Anchorage and book the ferry to Cordova via the Alaska Marine Highway. From Anchorage, it’s an hour drive (or bus ride) to Whittier, including passage through the longest tunnel in North America. From Whittier, the ferry takes about 6 hours across Prince William Sound. Watch for wildlife from the ferry deck!

Cordova’s sole auto rental shop is Chinook Auto Rentals located next to the airport. They have a local discount of about $62 daily, so please let us help you book your rental and/or consider renting a vehicle as a group. They begin reserving 2025 rentals at the beginning of October 2024. Anchorage has a full-service airport with the usual car rental options if you’re considering taking the ferry.
Chinook Auto Rentals
Along with the beautiful location, these cabins house 2–8 people making them a great group option. Please let us know if you’d like help coordinating group lodging here.
Location: 5 miles out from town towards the airport, right on Eyak River and a short walk from Eyak Lake.
Bear's Den Website
Bear Country has two lodges, both housing 4-6 people with lovely views of the lake. Another good group or family option. Please ask us about their local discount before booking, we should be able to get $25 off per night!
Location: On Eyak Lake 5 miles out of town towards the airport.
Bear Country Lodge
This waterfront lodge offers an adjoining restaurant and café as well as wildlife tours, kayak rentals, and more for those who like to walk on the wild side.

Orca Adventure Lodge
The Reluctant is a pricier option, but features an attached bar and restaurant and is in close proximity to town.
Location: Main downtown area on the ocean near the harbor, a short walk to our reception venue.
Reluctant Fisherman
Likely the least expensive lodging in Cordova, this motel has a downtown location near one of the two main grocery stores. Fun fact: Cadi used to work here in the summers. She can get you a discount if this is a place you’re considering staying.
Location: One block up from Main Street and a short walk to our reception venue.
Prince William Motel
Options for AirBnBs and Vrbos in Cordova are extremely limited but there are a couple out there if you are interested.
Location: Varied. Please let us know if you’re considering one in particular and we can likely tell you how far it might be from other points of interest.
We know it’s a long journey to make for one event, so we plan to spend half the week before the wedding in Cordova and half the week after in order to spend as much time as possible with you! Please reach out to us for any questions or assistance making travel plans. We want to help in every way we can. Cordova is a special place for us and it’s our dream to share it with our loved ones. However, we totally understand if the trip is not feasible for you and your family. Regardless of if you are unable make it, can only make it for the weekend, or whether you turn the trip into the ultimate Alaskan experience, we love and appreciate each one of you. Thank you for being in our lives!
P.S. If you’re unable to make the trip north, we plan to have a smaller celebration at a later date down in the lower 48. If you’d be interested in that, please indicate on your RSVP.
Our favorite present is your presence, but if you are unable to attend and would still like to contribute to our special event, we will be using Venmo to save up for our first trip as newlyweds.
