We had an amazing 5-night stay at Taste of Alaska towards the end of December. We spent 3 nights in the log house and 2 nights in the main lodge, thoroughly enjoying both accommodations. Staying in the main lodge was particularly convenient as we didn’t have to bundle up for breakfast.
The log house offered a cozy, private space with a spacious patio and a kitchen stocked with basic supplies, making it easy to whip up a quick meal. The owners, especially Debbie, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Debbie made it a point to chat with guests during breakfast and even helped us connect with a local driver for a trip to Chena Hot Springs.
We also enjoyed visiting Paws for Adventure, just a short walk from the property, and trying out the snowshoes provided. The property’s location, away from the city, was its biggest highlight—offering stunning mountain views, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and, of course, the auroras. The aurora alarm was a thoughtful touch, allowing us to witness incredible shows on two nights.
While breakfast was basic, it was sufficient, and the overall experience of being surrounded by Arctic wilderness made this a fantastic place to stay. Highly recommend it!
