About this property

Alpine Creek Lodge-Denali Highway

Alpine Creek Lodge is in the heart of the Alaska Range on the Denali Highway between Cantwell and Paxson. This is a very unique property, and a new lodge. The nearest town is over 70 miles away! We are located 68 miles East of Cantwell and 67 miles West of Paxson. No neighbors for 26 miles. The lodge sits on the South Facing slopes at the foot of a long since receded glacier. Alpine Creek is spring fed and runs year round. We are open year round, and in the winter the Denali Highway is not plowed.

Traveling into the lodge in winter via snowmobile is amazing! The Aurora Borealis is seen on most clear winter nights, and is an unforgettable experience. The rental can include anything you would like to do, to include fully guided fishing, hunting, ATV and snowmobile tours. You tell us what you would like and we'll make it happen.

We have suite rooms variable for $250 a night for two and $50.00 for each additional person. Each suite has a queen bed in them and two twin beds. We do offer the ability to rent out the entire lodge. Give us a call for other options and rates.

Excellent way to experience real Alaska

This is our first trip to Alaska, we wanted to experience the real Alaska. This place is in the middle of amazing nature, nature and nature with not much people around. Lakes, forests, mountains, wiled life, you name it. Staff and owners are super nice. Food Is good. Hosts answer any questions and created custom trips for us in to the wilderness. We had allot of fun. Special thanks to owner’s sun Bob for being an amazing guide.

Oasis in the middle of Alaska

The Lodge accommodations were comfortable, rustic, with shared bathrooms, similar to hostels. The dinner and breakfast were also included. We did a great hike up to the lake, played cornhole, cool bar with a great bartender named Tim. Need to update the games a bit, but we managed. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Need screens on windows so they can be opened for fresh air without mesquite attacks. Really cool Oasis in the middle of Alaska.

Awesome stay at the Alpine Creek Lodge

Such a great group of people who care for their patrons like family. We didn’t want to leave after the awesome tours, food, and care we received. Claude, Jennifer, Bob, Chrissie and the staff are just the best people in the world. The tours were all beautiful and adventurous (as you want)! We caught grayling and lake trout and I they set me up to take photos that are the envy of my entire family. To top it off, Chrissies’ kitchen is fabulous, with ample portions and yummy cuisine! Homemade food that is impossible to find anywhere else. Thank you to everyone for such an awesome stay! The Haydens

Dreadful

Visited this property with a group of birdwatchers from the UK. We found this place to be grubby, shabby and dirty at best. Booked for 2 nights and only stayed one as no other accommodation within 100 miles. It’s a hunting lodge with people bragging about shooting bears. Bedrooms very basic and tiny. Shared bathrooms basic. Decor and upholstery dirty. I’d read previous reviews before booking which i’m pretty sure now aren’t genuine. Owner wouldn’t cancel and refund my 2nd night so I left anyway. My advice would be don’t book it’s a dreadful place to stay.

Seeing Alaska VS. Lining Alaska

Alpine Creek Lodge – August 2016 When we decided to go to Alaska for our 25th Anniversary I started the process of sorting thru all the different opportunities sorting thru many towns, hotels, tour guides and many lodges; we happened onto Alpine Creek Lodge, MP68 on the Alaska Highway. I emailed Jennifer, she proceeded to tell me that they had packages that included fishing, sight-seeing, 4-wheeling and other activities that were custom made to our liking. I told her we also wanted to ride the train and take a tour to see the glaciers and maybe a whale. She said, “No problem, I can put your whole trip together, from the time you touch down until you take off.” To say the least she put together a package for the lodge as well as utilizing other tour agencies and the Alaska Railroad, one price for all. We spent the last 2 days ‘Seeing Alaska’. The difference between ‘Seeing Alaska’ and ‘Living Alaska’ is Alpine Creek Lodge. Russ and Sharon (their part time help from Maryland) picked us up at the hotel early. We arrived at the Lodge in the afternoon after a lunch stop, that’s when we met Jennifer, Claude and their son Bob as well as Chrissy the chef and Bandit. The next 5 days were a blur, fishing, sightseeing, 4 wheeling in the Razor to Moose Camp (could get muddy if you’re lucky), gold panning (nice hike), fishing, and glassing for Cariboo and, and visiting with Iditarod Mushers was one of highlights. Meals were served Family Style with lunch out on the trail; Bob can make one fine burger. Each evening ended with a visit to 3 Bob’s Bar, visiting with other guests, sharing stories of their day. When we left, it was like leaving family, and we will be back. With 16 months of planning and looking at many photos, our expectations were very high, I must admit the things we did and the places we saw were far above and beyond our expectations. If you want to ‘See Alaska’ get behind glass with a hundred other people, if you want to “Live Alaska”, call Jennifer and Claude at Alpine Creek Lodge.

Awesome place to base your explore from

We stayed for three days and had a wonderful time. There were very helpful suggestions offered for anything we asked about. We were directed to some of the most beautiful places to explore. It didn't matter when we can back from an explore there was warm food waiting. We were treated like family. It will be hard to beat this place for a remote Alaska wilderness adventure. We would recommend this to anyone who just wants to enjoy the beauty of Alaska with a wonderful family atmosphere.

A wonderful lodge run by a gracious family in the middle of Alaska!

Jennifer and Claude are the hosts in their home in this incredible lodge in the middle (literally) of the Denali Highway. This is a rustic lodge nestled in the middle of nowhere Alaska. Claude led us on hiking tours planned just for us that were exactly what we were looking for. Chrissy cooked tasty family style meals that were plentiful. Hot and cold lunches on the trail. Plenty of snacks. Comfortable rooms and lots of fun socializing with everyone in the common areas of the house. We must come back in the snow!! We loved it! Thank-you for a memorable stay.

Best place to stay in Denali!

We really wanted to see the back country of Denali first hand and thanks to Claude and his great guide Bob, we did just that. Staying at the lodge was like visiting family. They made us feel so welcome. Jennifer had wonderful homecooked meals and all the different people that dropped by while we were there was a treat. From fishing to hiking to ATV riding, it was great. We left with a lot of great pictures, wonderful memories and and a desire to return again soon. You will love staying here!

When going to Alaska, this is the place to stay

Never have I ever felt so comfortable on vacation! Jennifer, Claude and the others were absolutely sublime- the atmosphere was so welcoming that my boyfriend and I knew we picked the right place. The scenery was fantastic, and we were planning on going to Denali park for a day, but the area around their property was so perfect we changed our minds. Jennifer made homecooked meals everyday and we were truly treated like family. The interesting and wonderful people that dropped in made the stay that much more unique and lovely. To truly get a taste of wild Alaska, one must stay here. I will probably become obnoxious recommending Alpine Creek Lodge to everyone, because they made our vacation perfect. Thanks a million, Jennifer and Claude!

Excellent Place to Stay!!

We have had the opportunity to stay at this amazing lodge. Our church youth group did a retreat here. We were welcomed with a warm facility and great company! The owners were incredibly nice and the facility met our needs as a group and individually. There was ample space to do the activities that we wanted to do. The facilities were clean and we were able to use the facility to either cook our own meals or to have our meals cooked for us. Our teens at our church loved this facility and talk about it often. It's time to make another appointment at Alpine Creek Lodge. They sure earned our business for a lifetime and we would HIGHLY recommend this facility to anyone who may be traveling on the Denali Hwy (including big or small groups). Even if you just want to stop in for a cup of coffee!! Do it! It will be worth your stop!
