My favorite thing about this place is that it has a lot of interesting things on the walls and the train. I can't even imagine how long it took the owner to set up the train tracks and all of the scenery around them. It goes both inside and out and it is set up amazingly. I love it! The bartender Jess is awesome and the owner has been there every night (although I don't think he can get too far away. He lives above it.) I would definitely reccomend going here if you are in the Copper Center area.

Stumbled into this place completely by accident. Was on a week long road trip of the state and…read moredecided to see what was down that road. WHAT. A. GEM! The owner, Ron, is a super nice guy who has lived on the property for 19 years. The bar and the detached lodge are clearly his heart. The saloon shouldn't be called a "dive bar", because it is immaculate. But it is very eclectic. The model train that runs all around the bars' ceilings is no doubt one of the largest in the nation. It goes out of the bar walls through tunnels, and goes all over outside and through other (private) buildings. Ron is an expert on the history of the Copper River Valley, and has written a book of fictional history based on his own family. (I purchased the book but haven't read it yet.) The gardens in the bars' outdoor patio are beautifully kept with lovely grass and flower beds. There is a pool table and several jukeboxes, all with an astonishing collection of music varying through all genres and many decades--even big band and swing music. Friendly staff, super cool decor...it is an Alaskan bar at it's finest, and I have seen many, many of them. My friends whom I was traveling with from San Francisco were flabbergasted. They come from a place that tries so hard to be cool, but they kept shaking their heads in wonder and saying, "This place is SO LEGIT." Of note is that this is also a lodge. We rolled into the bar intentionally having an adventure day with no plans of where we were staying. We were thrilled that Ron had several lovely rooms to rent for the night. Showers and bathrooms are shared, but the rooms were clean, had excellent beds and even more fabulous bedding and pillows. Think 5 star bed in a little room with the coolest bar you've ever seen within stumbling distance of that bed. It was a great experience. Be prepared to meet some interesting locals as well!

This place is bare bones and small. Don't expect a lot for your money…read more The room barely fits a a queen bed. There is no TV, closet, dresser. There is a private bathroom. The room gets hot, I called down to ask for a fan. They have none. The window was wide open but had to keep the door open for cross breeze. (I am not sleeping with the door open) There is a bar next door which gets loud. There are no black out shades for 20hrs of sure light light. Bring some eye masks. Sound travels really well outside and in your window. You can hear people whisper outside. But cars driving by sound extra loud and will wake you up at night. Staff seems friendly. Check in was very easy just a confirmation and swipe of credit card. This place is pricey in the summer time. Which is understandable; but breakfast is included. Which helps digest the higher cost. Breakfast options: Eggs (any way) Wheat or white toast Meat: bacon, sausage, reindeer sausage. This place is special as it's only open 3 months out of the year with lots of history. This building was formerly a morgue and a brothel. The owner is very friendly. This is a very solid option to stop by and get some sleep (if you are not a light sleeper) and move on the road.

Food is very meh…read more.. The three stars are for the service and mining memorabilia decorating the lobby. Everyone got something of everything from the menu and each plate came out at a different time and was lukewarm and tasteless. Like even the toast. How??? I got the snow crab cake bene and all I could taste was breadcrumbs. I thought maybe it's because it's in a small town, out of the way, but fishing season was starting so you'd think this place would have had it down by now. Wake up! Winter's over. Oh well. I'd been here last time I was through and it wasn't very memorable so next time I will try someplace new. Would pass up next time.

We met so many good people here and are going to make this a ritual. Pro's Potable water and Dump site on the grounds. River front views Free WiFi Little Mountain View store within 2 miles. CLEAN Bathrooms on site Clean campground in general. CON's WiFi is ONLY available in the room next to the office AND will not reach the campground. This is a PRO obviously but for some it would not be especially if you have kids. SPOT 30 has electrical hook up but bring an extension cord with you. Also, if you have dogs, spot 30 isn't the spot for you. This is right in the heart where everyone walks by with their dog's, kids flying by on the bikes, and Wheelers. All of the people coming in, tow their campers right by you which makes for a dusty environment. Additionally, very very limited privacy. EVERYONE can see what you have or are having for dinner. Overall, great campground. I recommend but do not recommend site 30!
