Here at our Mountain Getaway @ The Alaska Lodge you will enjoy a relaxing picturesque and quiet vacation. While staying you might see moose, fox, and the occasional bear. We also have bald eagles, swans, loons and ducks. With the binoculars you are likely to spot Dall sheep on the surrounding mountains. Please note that our Mountain Getaway home does not have lake access. It has an amazing view but no access to the lake through this property.
Relax on the couch or at the fire pit while surveying the amazing view of Matanuska Peak. The house sits at just over 800 feet and the Peak shoots to 6097 feet just behind the lake! Enjoy our wi-fi, smart tv, games and more as you hang out in the peaceful setting of the property.
Staying with us puts you right in the middle of what most folks want to see on an Alaskan adventure. Within a short drive of the lodge you can walk on a glacier, pan for gold, fish for salmon in a river or the ocean, hike fantastic trails, pet reindeer, moose or musk-ox, hunt for fossils or many other FANTASTIC activities!
