5. What is your pet policy?
We welcome your pets to Pike’s Waterfront Lodge.  All that you need to do is let us know that you are bringing a pet, and we will book you into a pet friendly room.  We charge a $10.00 non refundable pet deposit per day. We expect that you will take good care of your pet which includes not leaving your pet unattended in the room or in the hotel and that your pet will take care of you, making sure that you clean up after him or her.  We have four rooms set aside for pets and their owners since some of our other guests are allergic to pets.  Unfortunately, if your pet persuades you to sneak him or her into a non pet room, you will be liable for $300 in cleaning charges.  We hope that you enjoy your stay at Pike’s.

They are visible when the sky is dark (fall, winter, spring) and clear, with a low or minimal moon and with the appropriate solar activity. If you would like to be awakened for a display, please let the front desk know.

7. Is Pike’s named after a fish?
No – It is named for Lloyd Pike who homesteaded the area. He sold part to the Airport and built Pike’s Landing in 1959. Then in 1967 it was washed down the Chena River in the flood, rebuilt as the log structure you see in 1969, sold to Don Pruhs 1979, sold to Guy and Lillian Kasnick 1989, sold to Jay Ramras 1999. Jay built Hotel 2000. Wonder what will happen in 2009?
