The rooms were ok, although the smell of glade was beyond intense, the lack of restrooms or water in the rooms was tolerable, the guest restrooms outback were a little gross and made my eyes burn, but I wasn't expecting much.. The owners however were super unprofessional. From double charging me, to making it my problem to fix, to complaining to me about everything in their life under the sun, to badmouthing hotels.com, other guests etc. etc. I just didn't need any of that on our stay there, and should have been a sign to go somewhere else, but I knuckled through it. The icing on the cake however, was being Attacked by her dog outside my room while using the guest restrooms... Yes, attacked. As in, I'm a fully grown man, dog owner/lover myself, and ended up having to drive to urgent care to stem the blood flowing from open wounds on my leg deep enough to stick your fingers in. Hey, stuff happens right...I'm a big boy. You try to put yourself in other people's shoes and do the right thing, but its also all about the people you're dealing with.. What was the owners response? Denial, even though it happened feet from their door, and I'm bleeding all over their floor. The dog evidently was also super aggressive to another person who was staying there that we spoke with, and then I found out it bit someone else. Did they comp any part of my stay? No. In fact, I was double charged. Have they made good on their promise to get me some shot records on the dog? Nope. Have they bothered to call me back a single time to check on me? No. It's a week and a half later folks, and I'm done trying. My wife and I have left messages until their machine was full, have left a message with their front desk / family member who runs the store, have facebook messaged them, and they haven't called me back once. Great customer service. An apology would have gone a long way here. Not only did I find out that she lied to me when she said the dog has never bitten anyone before, but they're completely ghosting me? The customer? I'm not a tourist, I'm in Eureka A LOT and so are lots of my snowmachine friends. I am pursuing this now that they've decided to do nothing, and I am recommending anyone who knows me boycott this place. Gunsight Mountain Lodge is TRASH. Stay at the Eureka Lodge or Sheep Mountain Lodge, or anywhere else but here. This place is owned by people who lack any semblance of character, or decency, and as much as I like to root for local business owners; they deserve to lose their business.

We loved the peaceful setting, the comfortable beds, and the beautiful mountain views from both the windows and the front porch. Breakfast was excellent and well worth the price. We tried the Palmer Farmers Omelet, Solstice Scramble, Breakfast Burrito, Halibut Benedict, and Sheep Mountain Pancakes. Everything was good, but the standouts were the Solstice Scramble and the Halibut Benedict. The breakfast potatoes were crispy and flavorful. The only downside was that their espresso machine was down, and the drip coffee was just okay. Dinner was decent but felt a bit overpriced. We had the smoked salmon spread, Olympia halibut cakes, meatloaf, grilled halibut, grilled salmon, and roast chicken. Everything was cooked well, just not particularly memorable. Service was friendly and attentive, and we never waited long to be seated for dinner.

Nestled in the trees, you turn off the road into a little slice of Eden. The lodge is a spectacular log cabin style building with a huge deck overlooking the valley below - one that houses a spectacular river flowing from the Matanuska glacier. The days included sleeping in very comfortable beds, first in a solo cabin and then in one of the rooms within one of the larger lodges which have a few room inside. The lodge was nicer, but we liked the solo cabin a bit better. The common area in the lodge was nicer however. Very potato/potahto. They have a dining area and a full service restaurant/bar in the main building and it's a delight! Many meals are buffet style, and they have single to order items available as well. The Cioppino one evening was spectacular! In addition to the comfortable beds, they have a massive hot tub available for adults to use, a huge deck off the back of the main building and a rec room type building with a large TV and a big table for meeting up. The small refrigerators are located in the rec building and the lodges. It's enough room for snacks and a night of leftovers. One evening we were all sitting outside of the deck chatting around 10:30/11:00 and because the sun never sets, we saw a lovely rainbow just before heading to bed. Staff are great, there are tons of hiking/walking trails in the area and the place is even graced a couple dogs who love to keep you company! We'll be here again! In their little slice of the wilderness, it's a big piece of heaven!

It's a combination of a gas station, lodge, and old-fashioned All-American comfort food restaurant.

Homemade banana cream pie for dessert. It was very good, not outstanding, but for Alaska I'm grateful there is a place.

The hostess/owner of the business was on site and assisted greatly with some basic needs I forgot back at home, such as plates and utensils for the grill.

Each cabin is equipped with a coffee maker, a very small TV, and the lodge also offers complimentary K-cups and DVDs for rent. I cannot speak for the RV experience, but this is a great place to stay if you're on your way to or from Anchorage, or if you just want to get away for the weekend. Highly recommended.
