Fireweed Mountain Lodge is your serene home base nestled within the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Located on the vehicle-friendly side of the footbridge, the Jumbo cabin grounds your time in the wild surroundings. We welcome you to stay with us.
Explore the natural wonders of the mountains and glaciers, raft the rivers that surround us, satisfy your curiosity by learning about early 1900s mining history in nearby Kennecott, and engage with our vibrant summer community.
The space
Our roomy (320 sq. ft.) stout log constructed cabin is comfortably furnished with a dining table, chairs, and a futon couch on the main floor. In the loft, there is a queen-sized bed.
We provide you with 900-thread count sheets, an extra warm comforter, pillows, and plush towels for your use. Showers/bathrooms are centrally located and a short walk from your cabin.
You'll share a centralized outdoor cooking area and our communal fire ring.
Please carefully read the details about this cabin and our unique property before booking.
Guest access
Check-in is from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We ask that you please communicate your estimated arrival time close to the day of your arrival via text, cell or email.
We will greet you upon arrival to show you to your cabin. On the rare occasion we are not able to meet you upon arrival, we will communicate this to you and make alternate arrangements for you to settle into your cabin.
Other things to note
All properties in our area are off-the-grid.
Here is what off-the-grid means for your stay at Fireweed Mountain Lodge:
WATER-USE
Centrally located shower use is limited to specific hours each day since they require generator power (increases noise pollution, fuel—bummers). Same with our toilets. At all other times, a pristine clean outhouse with a view of Fireweed Mountain is available.
Water for drinking and cooking is always available on-site.
FOOD STORAGE
Coolers, food, and scented items must be stored inside cabins or in your vehicle. We have on-site parking so it’s simple to access your things at mealtimes.
TRASH
Pack-in/pack-out is the norm in Alaska. Garbage service literally does not exist—not just for guests—for all people in this area. If you brought it with you, you'll need to take it with you when you leave. Please respect this norm and plan ahead.
POWER & SIGNAL
This cabin does not have electricity. Please bring your own device chargers, lanterns, and headlamps. We are not equipped to charge devices. Most guests charge devices in their vehicles—parked a short walk from the cabin. Cabins don’t have power or lights. We don't provide lanterns.
We do not have wifi; Verizon is the only cell carrier that provides coverage in the area.

On-site parking is a short walk from your cabin, so it’s simple to access your things during your stay.
