I loved the rustic setting of the lodge and the staff was super nice and caring. I only had one issue with housekeeping cleaning out my entire room and they did not check who was staying for more than one night. This is a great option if you are road tripping.

Very good: staff, breakfast, nice bar Downside: old property… skeleton keys, creaky floors, and windows permanently shut with no ac…. And it’s a -long- way from anything you want to do

This adorable lodge had very comfortable beds and provided a fan to put in the window so that we could sleep cool, the way we like. The restaurant and the bar are both right next door, easy walking distance. It is private but also right on the way from Wrangell St Elias national Park. The surroundings are beautiful (there is a stunning view from one of the bathrooms) and we had a great time chatting with fellow travelers and local residents alike. They thought of everything, and even provided a hot breakfast with eggs sausage and muffins.

It is the oldest roadhouse in Alaska. The property is rustic, which adds character, and most spotlessly clean.

Very nice and spacious cabin, with private bathroom, great breakfast options served in a typical restaurant, very attentive and kind staff. The downside was the size of the bathroom, which was very small, but there was plenty of heated water at a good temperature.

This is a Super fun lodge to stay at! The restaurant was closed the night we were there, but the bar was definitely open and they had the same food as the restaurant. It’s the place to meet the locals and just sit back and enjoy yourself.
