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.

Historic old lodge, in the country, and adjacent to a fast flowing river. Has alot of character and fun place to stay. Staff was very friendly and place was clean. I would recommend a newer bed mattress for the one we had sagged due to our weights . Would stay again.
