McCarthy Lodge Resort

We tried to stay at the Kenicott Lodge and are so glad it was full! Thats when we found Ma Johnson's Hotel! Absolutely fantastic!! It was like stepping into a time warp and going back in time. And McCarthy is not to be missed! What a cool little town. We stayed 3 nights at Ma's and enjoyed every minute. We were able to walk to a glacier, took the mine tour and went flightseeing, all of which Irecommend highly!! Add this to your Alaskan vacation plans!!

Its a unique place. Very comfortable, accommodating. Hope to visit again.

The Hotel was located in the center of town. Easy to just walk across the street to dine. Very friendly staff. Would be nice to have battery operated clock. Other than that it was a great experience.

Loved the old time charm of the hotel. It was exactly as advertised. Neil and Emily were more than accommodating.

This was our first time in McCarthy and Ma Johnson staff helped us plan the visit and made us feel like family. The staff and the hotel is amazing.

This is an iconic landmark with historic charm. Sharing bathroom was no big deal since everyone was so nice and became like family. No elevator but there are first floor rooms. Copper Balley shuttle was so convenient!

This is a very well maintained and renovated historic hotel with bathrooms down the hall. Breakfast was across the street at the 'saloon'. Good food and activities but be prepared to be close to nature.

The hotel staff were great and helpful. The hotel is a historic hotel so the room just has a bed and sink. Bathrooms are shared and down the hall. Hotel is in the middle of McCarthy.

We loved staying at Ma’s. It was great to have all the dogs in and out. So fun. McCarthy is a unique community in an awesome area. We had such a lovely time. Thank you 😊

We had an issue where it could have been, “ not such a pleasant outcome.” Ragen, front desk at Ma Johnson’s handled the issue with ease and helped us out so much. She was great the way she handled our problem. This was my 4th time to McCarthy and I will definitely keep coming back. The owner, Neil was working the breakfast time and I casually asked a question of “Did he remember the band with a long name from two years ago.” He couldn’t off the top of his head and I said, don’t worry about it. He went and found out and then had a great conversation with us. He didn’t have to do that but he did. This is McCarthy and why I keep coming back. A great place with great people.
