The Roadhouse

The original roadhouse at Kantishna was built in the early 1900s, serving as a private residence, a community center, a post office, and informal accommodations for those who came visiting in Kantishna. Many nights were spent spinning tales of the trail over a hot cup of coffee and a hearty meal. You can still see the old log structure and other remnants of the past at the back of our property.

Today, we continue to talk of the trail, but in more modern and comfortable surroundings. Through years of hard work, the Kantishna Roadhouse has evolved from a gold miner's tent camp into a modern Alaskan resort with a rustic flavor. In 1986 a tent camp was established to feed and house a federal mineral survey crew assaying surrounding claims. Word of this unique camp experience spread and its popularity grew. Through the years, additional guest cabins have been built to accommodate growth. We now offer 32 full-service cabins. The beautiful log lodge was built in 1993, adding an expanded dining area, a new library resource room, a hand-crafted bar, and a spacious lobby.
