Wrangell Mountains Wilderness Lodge

Our stay at the Wrangell Mountains Wilderness Lodge was fantastic! We fully enjoyed our four-night vacation at this wonderful, magical lodge. We hope to return some day and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, delicious stay deep in the Alaska wilderness. Wrangell Mountains Wilderness Lodge provides a five-star experience. The fully-equipped cabin with the eco-friendly wood pellet heater and hot shower kept us warm, cozy and clean. The hiking was superb with jaw-dropping views in every direction. And the exceptional, gourmet food – including the take-away lunches – was a big surprise. Home grown and harvested natural ingredients were featured in every meal and the 100-year old sour dough and the firewood ice cream were just two of the many delicious stand outs. The creativity and quality of their kitchen rivals that of any San Francisco restaurant. The recreation was superb. We had so much fun hiking into the mountain wilderness on two days with views of Mt. Sanford (16,237 ft.) and many other peaks, and we spent the third day alone, canoeing on a 2-mile lake with swans, eagles and ducks nestled in the foot hills with 360° views of snow-covered peaks in the Wrangell, Mentasta, Alaska and Chugach mountain ranges. And topping it all off was the nice connection we made with the wonderful family that runs the WMWL. Michael and Victoria and their two kids were exceptional hosts. They taught us much about Alaska and the subsistence ethic that supports the people that live there, especially those in remote areas like the Nabesna Road region. They shared their knowledge and love for the area with us and had great recommendations for our excursions. The Wrangell Mountains Wilderness Lodge provides a complete, unique and wonderful experience on the “quiet” side of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, a very special place where you will find all the creature comforts in the middle of a gobsmaking wilderness. It doesn’t get any better. We recommend it without reservation. Ellen and Louis (San Francisco, California)

We loved our 3 nights in the Alaskan cabin. Very clean, well stocked. We ate a lot of meals at the lodge which were delicious! The bagged lunches were so great to take on our all day hikes. This northern part of Wrangell is quiet, beautiful , and offered great hikes. It was so nice to come back to a super dinner and a comfortable cabin! One early evening after hiking we walked down to Jack Lake behind the lodge for a cooling swim! Amazing! Michael and Victoria are great hosts! Wish we would’ve stayed longer.

Truly an amazing destination! Within the beauty and serenity of the Wrangell St. Elias Mountains is a wonderful family owned and operated lodge that should not be missed. Traveling from Indiana to Anchorage with our family, the stop at the Wrangell Mountains Wilderness Lodge, and the trails along the Nabesna Road, were one the highlights of the trip. We particularly enjoyed the family’s attention to detail and their warm welcome. We stayed in the Alaskan Cabin and it happily fitted our family of 4. The cabin was spotless with all the needed comforts to ensure a relaxing stay. The highlight for us was the spectacular dinner, breakfast, and packed lunch! Exceptional food prepared with pride and love using local ingredients. If you are traveling between Tok and Anchorage, or just looking for a fantastic destination, don’t pass up Wrangell Mountains Wilderness Lodge. Side note, don’t be afraid of the Nabesna Road… it is in great condition clear up to Mile 28 where the lodge is located.

My husband and I stayed in the Alaska cabin and it was so clean and comfortable. We had a mini fridge, stove/oven, pellet stove for the cold nights. We even had a bathroom w/shower. Our hosts made us a spectacular dinner in the lodge. They were very knowledgeable of the area, and all the hiking trail. They were super friendly!

We stayed in the Raven cabin. It was perfect! It was clean and had everything you would need. A great place to unwind and decompress. So much to do and see there. We flew in and landed right there in front of our cabin. We also did the meal plan and the food was amazing! Top quality and plenty of it. You won’t go hungry. The owners were so nice and accommodating! Definitely a must! We would stay there again.
