Welcome to our historic lodge located adjacent to the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in the Copper  River
Valley. Step in and have a look around. We are one of the only
remaining original roadhouses left in Alaska. The beauty is
awesome, the fishing and outdoor activities are fantastic and the company
is, well, above average. For you do-it-yourselfers, we not only
have a good night's sleep but we offer rafting and camping equipment rentals
and campers are always welcome. Our Mission To provide a good warm bed, hot shower, great food and a cold beer (wine, or scotch for those with above average sophistication) in a historical Alaskan setting. The roof doesn't leak, the toilets usually flush, and you hardly ever hear the person in the next room snoring. For the workaholics (or not), we do provide wireless internet.

We have a tavern called The Trappers Den where you can fill your cocktail fancy. We are located at the confluence of the Gakona and Copper Rivers. Anybody that knows anything about salmon probably will recognize "Copper River." Yeah, the salmon fishing is pretty good! The best fishing is in the months of June and July for Kings, June, July and August for Reds, and September for Rainbows. We would be happy to hook you up with a guide for fishing or hunting.
We offer all the equipment you will need to float the rivers. See our rental equipment link for prices and other information.

Two of the cabins have kitchens and multiple bedrooms. We have Tipi's

continental
breakfast for those staying in the Lodge and from May 20th to September 15th
