Summary: Everything was as expected for a place almost 100 years old.
Sandy Jul 23, 2025 11:35:59 AM
Summary: We loved everything about the lodge, the rooms were very clean and the rustic decor made us feel like we were right at home. The owners we very friendly and nice. We ate supper at the restaurant and it was very good. The staff were wonderful they told us a few places to go while we were in Valdez. We stayed in 8 different places on our trip to Alaska and this was our favorite!

Summary: Michelle and her family were wonderful hosts, due to a medical issue they were trying to find a new norm. Nothing bad, just a new chef, and a snarky bartender, that was most likely just stressed. Our room wasn't ready which was frustrating since the reservation was made quite awhile before our trip. We thought about grabbing an adult beverage but lounge and dining room weren't open., no times posted. When they did open the wait was quite significant for service. Nico was just a very unpleasant person. We made friends while waiting for food and drinks. The price was a great value especially with breakfast. Bed was wonderful. Michelle and her daughters rolled out the red caepet. We would stay again, because anyone can have an off day. It is a very cool place lots of history!

Summary: The owners went out of their way to accommodate our late check-in…. the atmosphere was friendly and quaint…
Thomas Jun 26, 2025 10:35:47 AM
Summary: Our stay was good, The room was comfortable. The staff went above and beyond under some strange circumstances....(short staffed in an emergency, power went out due to circuit breaker etc)

Summary: The area is very poorly maintained and the cabin condition was a bit below average.
Carol Sep 4, 2024 04:37:49 AM
Summary: I think you need to understand the history of the lodge before you stay there. My room was in the first floor and the only room with a private bath. I could hear every word the staff was saying outside my room and the room above me I could hear every snore.
Carole R Sep 1, 2024 07:50:04 AM
Summary: There was a shared bathroom. That was inconvenient. but tolerable. The annoying part was there were no drinking glasses to be found, making it impossible to take medication and difficult to rinse after brushing teeth. That should be among the basics, along with tissues. which weren’t provided either!

Summary: Historic lodge. My husband and I stayed for three nights in the three bedroom cabin, as it was the only place available at the time. There are not many options in this remote area. Despite its charm, there were some issues. There is peeling paint and exposed walls. The area is very quiet, especially at night. There are heaters in all of the rooms, so we were warm enough. We couldn’t get cell service on our phone, and the Wi-Fi was very unreliable. We couldn’t get the TV to work, so we went to the lobby to ask. We were told that it doesn’t work, but was left in the room for “aesthetics”. Two of the bedrooms have curtains instead of doors. The exposed hot water heater is in the hallway near the bathroom. We thought that there was no hot water in the kitchen sink, until we discovered that the faucets were mislabeled, and reversed. The beds were clean and comfortable, and there were enough blankets. This has gotten many positive reviews. It depends on one’s expectations. It is probably acceptable for people who are used to camping and/or roughing it. We felt that it was not up to the standards of some of the other hotels and lodges where we stayed on our Alaska trip.

Summary: Fine old place!
