Gakona Lodge & Trading Post

This place was great, it looked even better than the pictures! The room and the bathroom were excellent, and the breakfast was super yummy. The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful. Thank you! We’ll definitely be back.

Stayed here for one night, amazing property and service! Right in front of the Gakona River, which is such a serene site. Rooms are clean and in excellent shape. Bathrooms are communal and were in very good shape, towels and all amenities were all provided. Furthermore the Trapper's Den bar is right next door, with amazing food. Chris, our bartender was amazing! Such great service and had a fun night! Great selection of local craft beers, and food from the kitchen! More props to Kona the dog, who was the highlight of our stay here! Loved every bit of it, will definitely be back!

We ate at the restaurant. The decor & atmosphere were rustic & "old Alaska" feeling, which was just right. The staff were busting their butts to take care of everyone & were friendly with our large group. Food was very good. Something was wrong with their on tap beer (I think bad batch from brewery) it was undrinkable. Quite a positive experience overall. We'd go back

We had a fabulous time - it’s rustic, which is exactly what you should expect of a historic site, the Bar is friendly and welcoming (as are the locals) and the food is creative and delicious (not you ordinary bar food). New owners and staff go out of their way to make your stay memorable! Are there still a few glitches - absolutely - buy, forgive & forget and enjoy the unique experience of a piece of history - thank you Michelle!

I have been staying here with my work and am wanting to come back for a vacation. The owners are very sweet and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this to fellow travelers. The rooms and bathrooms in the Lodge are excellent. My bed in room six was the most comfortable that I have slept in, in a very long time. Its right on the river and I saw two Bald Eagles and one Moose.

This lodge is fantastic! Comfy beds, homey atmosphere, welcoming staff and lots of cool information about the history of the location and lodge. Also a delicous breakfast! Will definitely come back if im ever in the area.

On our way out to the National Park found this little gem in the middle of nowhere. There was absolutely nothing we did not enjoy about our stay. The people were extremely kind and accommodating we stayed in one of the newer cabins on the property with a beautiful deck overlooking the river. It was a good base camp for us to use on our trip out to the National park. We enjoyed the tavern as well as the carriage house and if we are back this way will certainly try to stay again

This lodge was the first place I stopped once I made it to Alaska. I spent 6 days in the road driving from San Antonio,TX. I was more than happy, they accommodated me and my family. The place is a nice cabin, surrounded by nature, there’s a river right behind it. A small bar that serves some nice Alaskan brewed IPAs. Can’t thank them enough for hosting us.
