We now have a new internet provider – we have installed Starband, a satellite system, that is much faster and keeps us in better touch with you. From there we installed access points around the property to make our cabins, Wolf Lodge, docks, and much of the grounds wireless.
The FLOATEL now has wireless internet available to those of you that would like to bring a wireless enabled laptop computer. Please be sure you have used your wireless function so you are familiar with how it works. Jim is a mechanic --- is good with a hammer. J

Sound like the place you've been looking for? That is what Jim & Jeannie McFarland had in mind when they started building their destination lodge at Thorne Bay, Alaska back in 1988.
Located on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska, two miles by water from the town of Thorne Bay (population 450).
McFarland's FLOATEL is accessibly remote.
You will arrive by boat or float plane.
The McFarland's will assist you with travel ideas.
Experiencing Southeast Alaska's beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife can be done right from your private log cabin, the rocking chair in the FLOATEL. At low tide, beachcombers can view firsthand the many varieties of underwater sea life that inhabit our waters. You can saltwater fish for several varieties of salmon, halibut, and other bottom fish. Crab pots are available for your use and three edible varieties of clams are within a quick boating distance.
Visitors to the FLOATEL soon learn there is more to Southeast Alaska than just fishing. Relaxing in your own private cabin is one of the best things about coming to the FLOATEL..
Free wireless internet connection and coin-op laundry facilities are available also.
