Log cabins are situated all over the state and popular areas include the Kenai peninsular, Juneau regions and large options close to Denali national park. Many cabins are part of a larger park that can have several on their site however they are usually set in a quite location to give a very private feel. Also being on a site does give the benefit of having some amenities close to hand and these can include a shop, bar and reception where information about the local area can usually be found. A car is of course essential when staying in a cabin and having a vehicle to hand will make accessing the local area easy and with such remote roads driving is a pleasure.


Facilities in a typical cabin will include clean sheets and bedding, pots and pans and cutlery. Most cabins consist of kitchen/diner, lounge area, bedroom/s and bathroom, although in some more luxurious cabins en-suite bathrooms, verandas, outdoor BBQ areas and even hot tubs can be included in what the cabin has to offer. Hiking trails can often be found within easy walking distance from your cabin and routes that start and finish at your cabin door can be easily organised.


Log cabins are also a very popular option for those planning a fishing holiday in Alaska and with so many cabins located near the many rivers or along the rich coast a cabin can be ideal as all or part of your holiday, and as many have room for several people this option is perfect for a group of friends. And what better way to celebrate catching that prize salmon by taking it back to your cabin for a wonderful meal in celebration of your success on the banks.


A log cabin is also a great way to spend a romantic break with a loved one, imagine the log fire burning as you relax together after a tiring but rewarding day together on one of the trails, relax with a glass of wine in the cosy warmth of your cabin with the peace and quiet this destination offers there will be no interruptions.

If you fancy a bit more variety in your destination and have a bit longer to spare then another great option is two cabins, spend your first week in a cabin overlooking Alaska’s beautiful coast line followed by a week in a remote forest surrounded by nothing but trees and set in the most peaceful and tranquil of settings.

However you choose to spend your holiday make sure you consider a log cabin as all or at least part of your trip to Alaska, they truly do offer the most relaxing of holidays and staying in one makes for the perfect getaway and really does give you the chance to leave the traumas and troubles you are trying to get away from behind. Enjoy the wilderness of Alaska from your very Alaskan log cabin.
