Where to Stay in Alaska

Sheldon Chalet

Deep in the mountains of the Alaska Range, nestled between glaciers and soaring peaks, sits Sheldon Chalet. Far away from civilisation, the chalet is the ultimate getaway for adventurers looking for a little luxury in the wilderness. Perched right in the middle of the Don Sheldon Amphitheatre, the chalet is set within 4.9 acres of private grounds at an elevation of 6,000 ft, with views over Denali and some of the clearest skies for Northern Lights viewing.

Alaska Bear Camp

Alaska Bear Camp on Cook Inlet is a sustainable base for exploring Alaska's most pristine brown bear habitat, providing wilderness accommodations that are low on impact yet high on comfort. Built on a historic homestead on the ancestral land of the Dena'ina people, the remote parcel on roadless land was grandfathered in to remain private when Lake Clark National Park was established in 1980.

Ultima Thule Lodge

Deep in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness, where bears roam freely and eagles soar high above the land, alive with flora & fauna, Ultima Thule Lodge appears to be in the land that time forgot, with no sign of civilisation.

Redoubt Bay Lodge

Composed of just three log cabins decorated in a traditional outdoorsy Alaskan style, this lodge sits on the shores of a scenic lake and provides spectacular views of the surrounding Chigmit Mountains. Owned and operated by the same family for over 30 years, you'll be assured a warm welcome and a wonderful wildlife-viewing experience when staying at this remote and rustic setting.

Katmai Wilderness Lodge

Katmai National Park has both the largest grizzlies and the highest concentration of grizzlies in the world. Situated within the national park is Katmai Wilderness Lodge, a quaint, eco-friendly lodge set along the coastline with a spectacular backdrop of majestic mountains. With a maximum of just 12 guests at a time, and a range of intimate wildlife excursions on offer, this remote destination is one of the best places to view Alaska’s grizzly bears away from the crowds.

Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge

Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge is in a peaceful, picturesque corner of Alaska. Jump on board a ferry in the Alaskan port city of Seward and you'll soon find yourself at this exquisite lodge nestled at the mouth of Resurrection Bay. The eight charming cabins are set amongst the woods on the privately owned Fox Island, with beautiful views of the bay on one side and a freshwater lagoon on the other.

Tutka Bay Lodge

Tutka Bay is an incredible lodge to stay at where you feel as if you are experiencing the true Alaskan wilderness. The lodge is only accessible via boat and the vistas you will see en-route to the lodge are spectacular. Once you arrive at the lodge you can settle into your private cabin and look out from over the fjords, bays and glaciers.

Grizzly Cruiser

Often referred to as the ‘grizzly ship’ or 'grizzly cruiser' there are no prizes for guessing as to what the aim of a trip on this exclusive ship is. Even its name Ursus is Latin for bear. This cruiser ship is a refurbished crab fishing boat and can accommodate just eight passengers along with its experienced and knowledgeable crew.

Denali Backcountry Lodge

Travel deep inside the rugged backcountry of Denali National Park with a stay at Denali Backcountry Lodge. The lodge is only accessible by air and is located at the foot of the towering Alaska Range and provides the perfect balance of comfort and rustic charm.
