About this property

National Park Stay: Comfortable cabin in Alaska's wilds, lakes, hikes. Pets OK!

This is THE classic wilderness getaway--a cozy plumbed (May 15 to September 20) log cabin in Alaska's mountain kingdom. Access the best of the Last Frontier's wide open solitude while still on the road system. This cabin has a comfortable hand-crafted queen-size log bed, soft new linens, well-equipped kitchen, bathroom, and bird’s eye loft with double futon and tranquil views. From one of the most exclusive locations INSIDE Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve, the cabin is just a few minutes' walk to scenic, secluded lakes and hilltop vistas with exceptional wildlife viewing, birding, fishing, and recreational opportunities. The Raven Cabin is the perfect space for your Great North adventures or quiet getaway to rest and recharge—without the hassle of an expensive and weather-dependent air or water taxi. During cooler months (September 20 to May 15), guests may use the plumbed wash rooms (sink, toilet, shower) in the main lodge just steps away. Pet friendly, with prior approval, $75 fee per stay. Non-smoking.

Getaway in the Alaskan wilderness

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Raven cabin for 3 nights and loved our stay. We spent 4 days hiking, driving the Nabesna road, relaxing, and enjoying nature. The cabin is rustic, but very cozy, and the bed was so comfortable. We didn’t have any cell service, but that’s part of why we enjoyed our stay so much. We used the lodge’s internet once to check for any urgent notifications, but otherwise we (and our dog Finn) used the weekend to completely unwind. Do bring bug spray though, the mosquitoes are no joke.
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024

Host profile image
Owners Michael and Victoria have poured heart and soul into restoring the property, and continue raising their family in one of the last untamed parts of Alaska. Their outfit is truly an American dream in the works. Everyone pitches in to make sure chores are done and guests want for nothing (except for maybe a few more days here!).

Michael is a lifelong Alaskan whose experience and appreciation for this place runs deep, from helping his dad grow summer gardens above the Copper River every year and riding his bike down to hook the legendary king salmon, he has spent countless hours exploring and enjoys sharing what he has learned with friends old and new. He is also the engineer behind this operation and ensures reliable, continuous heat, power, water, and connectivity year-round.

Victoria achieved her lifelong dream of working as an archaeologist in Alaska nearly 20 years ago, and today homeschools their children in one of the most beautiful wild places on earth, where the labors of their hands provide sustenance year-round and make this unique opportunity for guests possible.

Whether you're on vacation, hiking, fishing, stargazing, snowmachining, or working here in North America’s largest national park, we welcome you to our home. Though this area has no hotels, restaurants, or crowds for miles around, we provide the essentials and then some to make your trip unforgettable. If you’re looking for the real, unedited Alaska - you’ll find it here with us!

What makes this property unique
