These romantic and tranquil lakeside cabins hidden in the Alaskan wilderness have nine custom designed Yukon-style cabin tents in wooded settings, connected by gravel pathways and boardwalks to protect the fragile ground below. These comfortable accommodations combine cabin comfort with canvas tent charm. With small front porches that have chairs, guests will be able to sit outside to relax and take in the scenic Alaskan wilderness.

Two of the cabins reflect the historic property's charm and are lakeside log cabins. One of them has a loft that kids love, and two newer log cabins have attached private baths/showers. All cabins offer charming indoor amenities, including lodge-style furnishings, linens, comforters, propane heaters, and lights. Modern “his and hers” bathhouses with flush toilets and hot showers are located a short distance from the cabins.

There is a main lodge for guests to use that is equipped with books, board games, a wood stove, and comfortable spaces to sit and relax. It has been renovated to preserve its rich history but modernized for guest service. There is plenty of room to enjoy a book or a game or to just hang out with friends. On site, you will find a ping pong table under a canopy, a wood-fired sauna, a bonfire pit, a screen porch gazebo, and lakeside chairs on the beach. Only a short walk away from the surrounding cabins, the main lodge is easily accessible for guests to enjoy. Book your dream holiday glamping rental near Girdwood today!
