Located high in the mountains on a glacial valley, Hatcher Pass Lodge is an oasis of peace and isolation. The lodge consists of a number of private cabins, a restaurant, a sauna to beat the Alaskan cold and a restaurant which serves some delicious and hearty local cuisine. Spend lazy days in the lodge reading or playing chess in their common area, sipping on wine and eating fondue in their restaurant. If you are feeling active, then step out and explore the rugged terrain. Several hiking trails with spectacular views start right here and from autumn, the slopes get enough snow to draw in a number of skiing buffs. A stay at this lodge could be a romantic holiday secluded in the mountains or an adventurous exploration of the Alaskan mountainside.

We just visited there in the last couple of days. Ive always wanted to visit Hatcher Pass and stay at the Lodge/cabins. We booked for two nights and stayed one. It's a rustic lodge and cabins; we get that and had read the disclosures on what not to do. I did not appreciate the speech on about 15 things we were not allowed to do when we went in to check in. The food is overpriced and the nachos we had for dinner were just warmed in the microwave and extremely bland and unappetizing. Our cabin door would not look when we left to go out hiking for the day and there was no screen on the back window. I picked the cabin for the babbling brook behind us, we were able to listen to it briefly, but had to close the windows to stop the flying insects from coming in. The cabin is outdated with stains on the carpet and flies on the windowsills. The staff seemed very bored and uninterested. We loved the location and Hatcher Pass is beautiful. If we go back to this area to hike again, we won't be staying at this lodge. Two stars given for the location only.
MoreWe did not stay at the lodge but we did visit the cafe after the April Bowl hike that is literally just across the street (once you drive up the dirt road hill). The cafe is small and cozy with a real coal burning stove (don’t open it as they frown upon it). Great place for a hot or a cold beverage or a small bite. Staff were nice. They had a piano in the cafe and a man played it for some fun free entertainment!VictorB
MoreIt’s the best way to have a “rugged” Alaskan experience, but still have a cozy place to sleep. The food is a little pricey, but keep in mind they have to bring it all up the mountain every day, and the portions are huge. Do the $25/hour sauna - you won’t regret it. The views and hikes are unbeatable.
MoreI loved my two night stay at Hatcher Pass Lodge. You are surrounded by magnificent mountains, and the little cabins are quite comfortable.You can purchase your meals at the lodge. If you bring your food, be sure to bring a cooler. There’s no cooking in your rooms. The hiking around the lodge is fantastic. The sauna was a real treat, especially since there’s no running water in the cabins. Think of it of camping in a cabin.
MoreFood was decent, especially for a more remote location. But it’s the view that makes this the place to eat while in Southcentral Alaska. Had burger and a sandwich. Both were good. Fries were good too. Service was speedy and friendly. Plenty of parking.
