From the outside the Kennicott-Mt. Blackburn cabin looks pretty basic ...
... but once inside you'll see all of the wonderful features it has to offer! It's a great place to stay any time of the year, and so close to some of the best hiking trails in Alaska.
The views from this gorgeous little cabin are spectacular.
This is the perfect spot to start the day with coffee or end an adventure with a glass of wine or a beer. As you do, you’ll be awestruck as you take in Mt. Blackburn, Ice Fall, and the Kennicott Mine, which are among the most fun things to do outside in Alaska.
Even though it is only a one-bedroom cabin, you'll find that it has plenty of space.
It has a generous 18x20 footprint, beautiful hardwoods throughout, and many nice design touches. As cabins go, it is one of the nicest accommodation options in this part of the state. Its a great place to come home to after a day of exploring the area.
The plush, comfortable couch is perfect for snuggling in and reading your favorite book.
You can always find a few places to eat in this tiny rural town. But if you'd rather stay in, the cabin is appointed with a complete kitchen. Just head on out to the local store for some groceries to cook you're own wonderful meal.
The bedroom has a large queen bed with luxurious linens that are beautiful and comfortable.
There are also nice dark curtains to draw over the windows if you don't want to let the late Alaska sun in. Everywhere you look the cabin feels fresh and inviting and the bedroom is no exception.
You can park in the lot closest to the river or a little farther away when you drive in. There is a nightly parking fee depending on which lot you choose, after which you’ll head over to the McCarthy Footbridge to await your pickup!
Bags and gear can easily be piled up on top of their sturdy wagons.
It fits perfectly on the bridge, making bringing your baggage much more straightforward. It’s a fun way to begin your adventure in the wilderness!
