It is a tastefully decorated two story open architecture that beckons one to explore the common sitting areas and balconies. The large modern kitchen offers all the gadgets needed to create your own meals or munch on the many snacks and juice provided. There is free WIFI,no TV. Guests can entertain themselves with a shuffleboard table, reading books, or playing a variety of instruments found throughout. We enjoyed the well tuned piano and guitar! There's also a fine massage chair! The wood stove offers a great place to toast your ...feet. The whole place is clean and inviting. After a hot shower we hopped into a soft bed. It's soooo quiet! You'll sleep like a baby. Our host invited us to make ourselves at home and use any food stuff for breakfasts or snacks. Plenty of Keurig coffee and tea. We made eggs and English muffins for breakfast. We were the only guests. Not that many tourists in November. Those of you in route to Valdez, McCarthy, Tok, Canada, Delta Junction this is a perfect place to stay and rejuvenate instead of pushing through. Or, the cabin could be a great place for hunters, fisher people, or friends and families to just plan a fun getaway. RV folks should park it and enjoy a night ' at an Alaskan 'home.' The prices are reasonable. I believe we paid about $189 for the night. It was worth it. Easy to find, plenty of parking. Can't believe this gem has been hosted by the same great hosts for 12 years!

She said, how her "mother made it" with pride in her eyes. We have never had Russian food and boy were we delighted! We shared the rich flavorful mushroom medley and Chebureky, light fluffy bread, like filo, filled with well seasoned meat. They open at 5, we will have to plan on being on the road later so we can enjoy her delicious food as we pass through. The lodge is cozy and it felt like we were sitting down at Grandmas table. Plan on eating here, you will be blessed! Did I mention everything is fresh made with fresh ingredients??? It is!

We ordered the Cornish hen with salad, Mushroom Medley with bread and homemade tea. The Mushroom medley arrived first, it was so good and full of flavor, matched perfectly with the toasted bread. The cornish hen was seasoned and cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy inside. The homemade tea smelled so good and tasted divine! Although there is a For Sale sign in the front, not sure that will happen when it gets sold. So if you are in the area, stop by and check it out before it changes ownership!

Shawn who is running it is as kind as can be with some good conversation but breakfast as the season winds down wasn't edible.

I ate my sausage and toast but that was it. Coffee was good too. I imagine in the summer when it's busier, they have things prepped in advance... at least I hope so. $20+ per meal is a bit much when it's that bad.

What a great campground!! We were looking to head north to close out our summer camping festivities…read moreand stumbled upon Tolsona Wilderness Campground online. It's a rather large campground with water and electric at many sites, along with a single dump station in the common area. Every site is along the River, which is fabulous too. In all reality, I don't think there are any bad spots, but we liked ours, which was away from the common areas. While we loved seeing all the kids playing on the playground and the creek, we were there for the peace & quiet. We appreciated being able to book online. The map showed us spots where our rig would fit and that was helpful, although we weren't able to fit in the spot requested after all. I walked to the office to see about another site and they were very accommodating. Turns out my husband saw a site that would be perfect and not only was it available, it was indeed perfect!!! We took note of the spot number and will definitely be requesting that spot again. In the common area, there is the office, which has snacks and campground memorabilia, there is a coffee shack with snacks, playground and picnic are. They also rent float tubes for the creek. While there is limited WiFi, there is no cell service and the WiFi doesn't reach the majority of the grounds. If you must have reception, I highly recommend you bring your Starlink. They do a family theme every weekend apparently... which we were unaware of. It was a little odd when we saw campsites with Halloween decorations in August followed by children in costumes coming to our site to trick or treat. We didn't love strangers strolling through our campsite as we were trying to decompress for the weekend and ended up feeling obligated to share our weekend treats, which selfishly was annoying, but at the same time, adorable to see the grateful children's faces light up! We'll definitely be back... next time I'll check their calendar to see what the festivities are if we don't want to partake, I'll figure out some way to make notice of that at our site.

Wrangell-St. Elias quickly became one of my favorite national parks we've visited. Despite it being…read morethe largest American national park, since so much of the park is remote, it's hard to see the vast majority of it. Visiting Wrangell-St. Elias required more than our typical planning since it is so remote. A lot of rental car companies will prohibit their cars from driving on McCarthy Road, so we had to find a specialty company to book with who would also provide us with a spare tire just in case. Gotta say, arriving to McCarthy Road and seeing the massive warning sign made me even more nervous, but we got so lucky - the road was so incredibly easy to drive. We found out later that it been graded less than a week before we showed up. The drive was so beautiful that it made the two hours fly by. McCarthy itself was such an incredible town to spend time in. We didn't get to fully explore because we showed up so late in the season that a lot of places were already closed. But the historical bits we could see were fascinating. We ended up booking a flightseeing tour with Wrangell Mountain Air - the park is so large and diverse, we wanted a chance to get to see it all. And it was so incredibly gorgeous and so worth it. If you have the ability to do it, I'd highly recommend it. Make sure to head on over to Kennecott to explore and learn about the old mining town. Grab some food at The Potato - so delicious! We booked an airbnb in McCarthy. It was easy to park on the other side of the foot bridge. We just brought backpacks, and it was an easy mile walk into the town. I heard there were shuttles, but the walk was easy and we honestly never saw one during our walk into the town. Definitely recommend against bringing any roller suitcases. There's a few hikes we would've liked to do if we had the time (and we're already exhausted from the hikes we'd done before coming). If you have the chance to really visit this park, I'd highly recommend it. It's so incredibly gorgeous and has so much to offer.
