Winterlake Lodge

B Corp
Contact us

Winterlake Lodge is an exclusive wilderness lodge near the western edge of the Alaska Range. This remote lodge is off the road network so reached by seaplane. On a clear day the mountain peaks, glaciers and lush flora that surround are all visible.

With such spectacular scenery, Winterlake Lodge baits the curious traveller to don the hiking boots and explore. Endless adventures are in easy reach by helicopter, glacier trekking, hiking or salmon fishing. Closer to the lodge, go kayaking or canoeing, have a swim in the lake, take a yoga class or sit by the log fire and just be.

The main lodge sits in the middle of the property surrounded by a cluster of rustic log cabins all overlooking Finger Lake. This is the scene that welcomes the historic Iditarod dog sledging race each year.

Why we like Winterlake Lodge

The welcoming nature of this family-run property is evident before even stepping off the floatplane. Every aspect is tailored to incorporate the best of the wild surroundings from the daily activities to the delicious evening meal.

Ultima Thule Lodge is an exclusive wilderness lodge within the wild and remote lands of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Preserve, the largest protected wilderness on earth.

Redoubt Bay Lodge £££££

  • Alaska
  • Safari and Wildlife Lodge

This intimate lodge is nestled amongst the mountains that form the entrance to Lake Clark National Park and overlooking Big River Lakes. It is reached via a scenic 50-minute floatplane ride from Anchorage. The main drawcard of Redoubt Bay Lodge is that it offers some of Alaska’s best bear viewing in a stunning, remote wilderness setting of 171,000-acres. This small rustic lodge, with just three traditional timber cabins, is cosy and simple in design. The emphasis is on the wildlife viewing and the surrounding lakes. Activities include watching bears come to the waters to fish for salmon, kayaking around the lakes, fishing or hiking in the Redoubt Bay Critical Habitat Area.
