About Us
Our Story
Alaska has been in our blood for a long time. Deb came up during college to work at Denali National Park as a park ranger, and it stole her heart. She spent 4 seasons there and at Talkeetna before moving to Tok permanently in 2010. Jonathan was born in Alaska and started commercial fishing as a teen with his Grandpa in Southeast Alaska in the late 80's. He has been a charter fishing guide for over 20 years and is currently a bush pilot flying for 40 Mile Air in Tok. Deb teaches kindergarten at the K-12 school here.
We enjoy the challenge of raising fresh food during Alaska's short growing season. Our family works together cut wood and to preserve the fruits of the garden, as well as berries and meat that we harvest from the land (you might be here when the smokehouse is full of fillets…or when we are butchering a moose, caribou, or dall sheep!) Every season has its chores! Winter evenings around the woodstove can be a welcome respite from the full days spent sucking the marrow of summer and doing chores!
You can often (not) find us off the grid; on river trips or fly-in adventures, hunting, fishing, hiking, berry picking, rafting, canoeing, and cross country skiing.
We look forward to meeting you on YOUR adventure!
Warm regards,
Your hosts, Jonathan and Deb Alsup
About Cloudberry Cabins, our "in-town" properties
We started Cloudberry Cabins with just the OG Cloudberry Cabin in 2011. From there, we have grown to 6 beautiful unique cabins in our little corner of Tok. The cabins are spread out within about a square mile of each other, each on its own private property and each with a different feel and design to cater to many different needs.
We have had so much fun designing each one, from the Ptarmigan Treehouse to the newest addition, the Deluxe Salmonberry Chalet.
The Cloudberry Cabins are conveniently located just 3 miles from the Tok Junction, just a few minutes' drive from all of the conveniences, yet worlds away on our own 80+ acres of boreal forest. We believe we provide the finest lodging available in Tok, Alaska with so many options, from a cozy cabin to a gorgeous 3 bedroom home.
About the Log Cabin Wilderness Lodge
Located 28 miles south of Tok, 300 miles northeast of Anchorage, 240 miles southwest of Fairbanks, the Lodge'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 in this unique blend of rural charm and modern convenience.
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 bought it and built the Log Cabin Wilderness Lodge, creating a paradise for visitors. In 2025, the Alsup family was blessed to acquire the Lodge, and we are dedicated to upholding the Alaskan hospitality and authentic Alaskan lifestyle that has defined the Log Cabin Wilderness Lodge.
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.
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 country skiing or snowmachinging right from your doorstep. We believe this is one of the most special places on the planet, and we eagerly look forward to sharing it with you!
