Wrangell Mountain Lodge

The property is just a gem. It's worth the drive and I can't recommend it enough. James and Cristina were awesome and you can tell that they've put their heart and soul into the cabins, property, and entire experience. From check in to checkout, they were available, but not intrusive. The cabins were immaculate, décor on point with the surrounding area, and contained the modern amenities that many others in the area lack. Full bathrooms (water based toilet, shower, and sink), comfy beds, and just a wonderful ambience. You feel connected to the outdoors, but also safe and secure. Your reservation comes with access to the cookhouse and it comes stocked with everything you'd need to cook and serve a 5 star meal. Fridge and freezer access. We brought burgers, dogs, and a few sides to make for dinner for 8, and nothing was lacking. James and Cristina utilize the cookhouse to make and serve you breakfast...and let's just say that it's very hearty. You won't go away hungry. My only gripe was that we couldn't stay longer! Thanks James and Cristina! It was a wonderful experience and even though Alaska is full of beauty and adventure, staying at Wrangell Mountain Lodge was one of the main highlights of our trip.

When we booked this hotel it had very few reviews and pictures. Having stayed there now it makes sense why they have recieved tons of top reviews. We thought we booked a hotel, but this is 4 small cabins on private property that is a full B&B. The rooms were cozy, well decorated and had full flushable plumbing and hot showers. It is convieniently located halfway up the McCarthy road. The WiFi in the cabins was the best we had during our whole Alaska trip, we were able to stream shows on our computer when we were worn out from hiking all day. Lets also talk about food, this far out on the McCarthy road there are really zero food options. Bring your own food, they provide both a full fridge and kitchen to cook whatever you would need in their cook house. No need to worry about breakfast though, they have quick cereal to go options if you want but the hosts were willing to wake up whenever we were ready to cook us a full breakfast each morning. I'm talking 2 pancakes, scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage and bacon plus orange juice and apple juice made individually for each person. You can't beat the view around the cabin or the creek that runs right behind them to walk along. If you are planning to go to McCarthy/Kennicot, you would be a fool not to stay here as a couple.

This property is off the grid. You are surrounded by woods in the Wrangell Mts. This was an experience just travelling McCarthy Road to get to the lodge. The hosts provided an amazing breakfast each day. What a memorable stay.

These are cabins. We were in Blackburn cabins and this one was a good change after them: Shower, awesome breakfast, better kitchen (we cook), super easy to access, close to river, raspberry growing just around. As in Blackburn you get the bonfire. Pity we were thee only for one night (tight schedule). Kids didn't want to leave. One thing (the host warns about it) the hot water control is super sensitive and hard to get right, but my wife was able to take shower, no problem. Need to be always ready for bears (spray or firearm) and instruct kids to hang around adults all the time. If we ever around that area again we'll definitely book that place (if available). :)

Opportunity to experience a bit of Alaska off the grid but with modern conveniences of en-suite flush toilets and hot showers. Owners are very hospitable. Large cookhouse breakfast was included and cookhouse was available for preparing your own lunch and/or dinner. Good location for exploring the park.

Lovely cabins in the woods at mile 26 on the McCarthy Road. The 60 mile road is not for everyone, but beautiful. Great full breakfast provided. No restaurants nearby for other meals, but a pristine, well equipped cookhouse to prepare your own meals. Hosts James and Christina very helpful and responsive.

The Wrangell Mountain Lodge was our favorite place we stayed during our two-week trip. We stayed in the fishing cabin, which was very clean and cozy/comfortable. The property is gorgeous and the breakfast was amazing. They also let you use the cook house to make other meals, which is very helpful given the remoteness. Perfect place to stay to explore the McCarthy Road area of Wrangell St Elias.

Very rustic. Well decorated.

This place is fabulous! If you are going to Wrangell- St Elias NP this is an excellent place to stay. Cristina & James are great hosts. The cabins are very nice, nicely decorated and with very modern indoor full bathrooms. They provided breakfast that was much better than we expected. Pancakes, eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon and of course juice, coffee and tea. And the cook house is available for you to use to fix your own lunch or dinner. We can't say enough about how nice Cristina & James were and how wonderful this place is.

We loved our stay here! James and his wife were very friendly and helpful. Our cabin was very comfortable and felt perfect for the area. The road to the lodge is actually a very nice gravel road. I am not sure if it has been fixed since the previous reviews, but it is in excellent condition now.
