About the Log Cabin Wilderness Lodge

Located 28 miles south of Tok, 300 miles northeast of Anchorage, 240 miles southwest of Fairbanks, six miles from the nearest neighbors, LCLW's 11 acres are surrounded by millions of acres of public land. Though off the electrical grid and far from the nearest cell phone tower, free WiFi service is available to visitors of at this unique blend of rural charm and modern convenience.

Log Cabin Wilderness Lodge includes the main lodge and 5 on-site cabins, and offers a remarkable blend of stunning landscapes and frequent wildlife sightings, comfortable accommodations – some historic, some just a few years old – and a variety of activities such as freshwater fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and aurora viewing in some of the darkest skies on Earth.

Initially named the "Log Cabin Inn," this property was established in the 1940s along what was then the primary route from Tok to Anchorage.  Among the early guests who visited the Log Cabin Inn were Hollywood icons John Wayne and Andy Devine.

In 1970, the Log Cabin Inn closed when the road was relocated to a more stable area on the western side of the valley and was subsequently transformed into a private residence. When the property became available in 2004, John and Jill Rusyniak acquired it and launched the Log Cabin Wilderness Lodge, creating a paradise for visitors. In 2025, the Alsup family took ownership, and we are dedicated to upholding the authentic service that has defined the Log Cabin Wilderness Lodge.

Imagine yourself peacefully paddling in our lake, strolling along a sparkling mountain stream, gazing at Dall's Sheep or moose from your front porch, or embarking on epic adventures such as mountain biking, hiking, snowmachining, fishing, or cross countryskiing right from your doorstep.  We believe this is one of the best places on the planet, and we eagerly look forward to sharing it with you!

Warm regards,

Your hosts, Jonathan and Deb Alsup
