This was the best hotel/stay of our 3 week Alaska trip. It's such a charming, old historic lodge!…read moreIt's got beautiful views, it's clean and we had a wonderful breakfast the next morning. The owners were running the kitchen and they were so modest and kind. We wished we could have joined for dinner the night before but we showed up a few minutes after the kitchen had closed. The atmoshpere in the saloon/bar and the restaurant bring you back to long lost times. It's charming and authentic. You can tell the people running this place really care. It's clean, they think of everything you could want/need and I believe they undersell themselves. They could charge a lot more than what they're charging right now. It was our cheapest and best hotel stay. These types of places would be $400plus in California. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Options are limited when it comes to finding a place to stay in this corner of the state...but…read morethere is none better, I dare say, in the entire state as Gakona Lodge! We pulled in later than I wanted and had to leave way too early, but the time we had in Cabin #3 was fantastic! Ample room for a family of five in a rustic cabin set in this amazing valley, alongside a swift moving creek, within walking distance of good eats...it is a perfect roadside oasis! We ate at the bar that night since the restaurant dining room was closed...mostly pub fare...but healthy portions and with a touch of someone who cares hand cut fries, a hint of tarragon in the tartar sauce,...best damn cheese curds I've ever had...holy crap...the curds were like garlic nuggets...and cheese! Someone is doing great things with somewhat limited offerings. Even the tap list is subject to what's available...lucky for them there's Gakona Brewing (sounds like a guy in his basement) down the road knocking out a couple kegs of beer for them to keep the ale flowing! After dinner, we made it back to our cabin and watched a DVD on how to skin a bear...because...ALASKA! WTF NOT? Cozy warm beds and a good nights sleep...a simple, but adequate breakfast of fruit, AMAZING HOMEMADE SCONES, coffee and juices put us back on the road...I wish i could have spent days here in this little oasis...maybe next time when I have a little more time on my hands... Thank You for being the perfect little getaway from it all!

My husband and I are kind of awkward with strangers, but we didn't feel any of that with the owners. (I'm ashamed to say I don't remember their names, but it has been almost 7 years - wow...) I couldn't recommend them any higher.
