Amenities
Each Bear Creek cabin is unique with its own story, layout and personality. And each cabin shares the same authentic Alaskan charm.
Fire Pit & Propane Grill
Exclusive use of the fire pit area and propane grill is reserved for our cabin guests. We provide the propane for the grill, and firewood is available for purchase at the day lodge. These areas are idea for late-night BBQ’ing, s’more roasting, and grilling fresh caught salmon from the
Dinner at Dirty Skillet
Open for dinner 6 nights a week (closed on Mondays) is our on-site restaurant, Dirty Skillet. Enjoy a hearty meal with an acclaimed chef, great food, ice cold drinks, and live music on the weekends.
Linens & Heaters
Your cabin will be well stocked with warm linens and blankets. Each cabin has both electric heat and a wood stove. We provide firewood for your cabin, if you choose to start a real wood burning fire in your cabin. We also provide towels, hand towels and wash cloths.
Boat Use
Our cabin and dining guests have full use of the boats and water vessels on Bear Creek Pond at no cost. We even provide life jackets, which are required for our guests under 16 years old.
Espresso at the Day Lodge
Open 7 days a week is our day lodge, featuring a roaring fireplace, gourmet espresso, and snacks for the trail. Guest enjoy checking into the day lodge to first meet a Bear Creek Lodge staff person, who will share some of the history of the town and take them to their cabin. Be sure to check out the book nook in the loft (a kid heaven!).
New Wash Hut
Most of the cabins at Bear Creek Lodge are “dry” cabins (meaning no indoor water or plumbing). And while a trip to an outhouse may be authentically Alaskan, there simply isn’t anything quite like a hot shower and flushing toilet after a day of exploration. Our new wash hut facilities were finished in 2022 and features 2) 1/2 baths and 2) 3/4 bath restrooms. Each cabin is located near the Wash Hut, so it’s just a quick walk to the Wash Hut from your cabin. Note that The Cottage is currently our only cabin with a full private bathroom and kitchen; each of our other cabins have no indoor plumbing of their own.
Sauna Use
Our electric sauna is open 24 hours a day in a tiny log cabin that comfortably fits up to 5 adults. Simply turn on the sauna and relax in spa-like tranquility in the middle of the woods.
Mini Appliances
While each cabin has a different layout, each cabin is equipped with a mini fridge/freezer, microwave, and electric tea kettle. Additionally, we place tea bags and instant coffee for your morning routine. Need more? Simply stop into the day lodge for a piping hot cup of gourmet espresso or tea.
