The Employee Experience

At the Tsaina Lodge and Rendezvous Lodge we pride ourselves on providing excellent service to our customers while making it a place where the Employees can relax and be themselves, a home base for the exploration of the surrounding mountains and streams. The Chugach National Forest and the surrounding areas offer many opportunities for skiing, hiking, fishing, rock or ice climbing and photography just to name a few.

This includes items for breakfast, lunch and snacks with a hot buffet style dinner every day.  Due to our very remote location, we are not able to cater to any special dietary needs other than a vegetarian diet. However, we do allow our staff to purchase their own food in town and store it in the communal yurts.
