National Park Stay: Premium comfort in Alaska's wilds. Hiking, lakes, tranquility. Pets OK!

From one of the most exclusive locations INSIDE Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve, THE classic Alaskan experience--a cozy log cabin in the Last Frontier’s mountain kingdom. Access the best of great northern wildness while still on the road system. Just a few minutes' walk to scenic, secluded mountain lakes and hilltop vistas with exceptional wildlife viewing, birding, and fishing opportunities…the possibilities for your adventure are endless. With two comfortable hand-crafted queen log beds (one on main level, one in loft), soft new linens, well-equipped kitchen, and flat screen TV/DVD with huge borrowing library, the Alaskan Cabin is the perfect base camp for your bucket trip adventures, special occasion trip, or just a quiet getaway to unplug, rest, and recharge. It has private en suite bathroom from May 15 to September 20; in winter, guests may use fully plumbed washrooms (sink, toilet, shower) in the main lodge just steps away. Pet friendly, $75 fee per stay. Non-smoking.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. The cabin also includes a coffee maker. Change of towels is available on request.
