He answered all of my questions and was really helpful in getting us prepared. From where to stay, clothes to wear, gear to bring, etc., he really made it easy. Once we arrived, Greg was an awesome guide. He was knowledgeable, helpful and full of advice. In my opinion, the best thing was that he was so into his job. He was really excited and excited for his guests. That made it even more fun. All of us that went really enjoyed his company beyond just being our guide. If you are fortunate enough to get to Alaska for some fishing, you should definitely look Greg up!

My brother and I had the pleasure to enjoy a raft trip down the Gulkana with Greg in late May. We…read morehad wanted to do the Klutina, but uncertainty as to the passability of the road getting upriver given that breakup had pretty much just happened landed us in a wonderful and relaxing float down the Gulkana instead. We saw eagles and a variety of ducks, and after just driving and ferrying up from the Lower-48 in a new car, we were more than happy to let someone else "drive" us for awhile. Anytime on the river is better than a lot of things I can think of, and it turned out Greg and I had several mutual acquaintances or friends of friends including the guy from whom he purchased the raft in which he guided us downriver. We had a blast, got some fresh air, saw some eagles, and just had a great time soaking up the amazing scenery along the Gulkana. I would certainly do this again with Greg. He was great company and told us interesting stories about the area. If you are in the Glennallen area, don't miss a chance to take a great ride or even go fishing with Greg. The salmon weren't in yet when we were there or we surely would have been fishing too. This float is really worth it, even therapeutic !

As a relatively seasoned RV traveler in Alaska that's done it for the past 3 years, this is the…read morenumber one place I recommend in the interior. Andy and Karen Burnham bought the place several years ago and have worked very hard to make the place at home for you. They live in the place in the wintertime when it can get down to 60 below and they only have a wood fireplace to rely on for warmth. A brief history of the place; it was a lodge 3 brothers from Michigan founded in the 1940's and built themselves with blood, sweat, and tears, which is what it took for an enterprising person to make it there back then to not get cold or hungry. Andy and Karen took it over making it a showplace and still working on it. There's a display of vintage typewriters and appliances in a room in the lodge and a nice selection of sundries and reading material. And the outside has old International trucks from the 1940's on display still in running condition. For food and drink, they serve their famous roadkill chili with a selection of squirrel, porcupine, and muskrat depending on what day it is. And wood fire pizzas to include supreme, meat lovers, pepperoni, or chili. Better than what you'll get at the average pizzeria in Alaska. The bar has a nice selection of flavored whiskeys, canned local mixed drinks, and the basic traditional stuff. It is expensive, but a lot of logistics and expenses are involved to get the stuff there. As for RV'ing in itself, perfect! All the sites are near the nicely flowing Tolsona Creek. Whether you like to fish or not, it's a pleasant view. Anyway, we've been there 3 times already in the past 2 years. I want the place to remain a secret, but at the same time want the owners to enjoy the bounty of their hard work and the place continue to flourish, maybe eventually it'll become a popular winter lodge as well with the cabins.

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.

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!

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.
