Step outside and immerse yourself in nature, with the Salcha River just minutes away for fishing, kayaking, and wildlife spotting.

The Salcha River is a premier destination for fishing enthusiasts, renowned for its diverse aquatic species including Arctic grayling, trout, northern pike, as well as king and chum salmon. Anglers flock to the Salcha River State Recreation Site, which provides an excellent base for fishing expeditions in this scenic area. Beyond fishing, the winter months transform the landscape into a playground for snowmobiling along the frozen river, while cross-country skiing is also a popular activity during this season. Additionally, visitors to Salcha can explore other attractions, such as the Harding Lake State Recreation Area, which offers opportunities for both relaxation and recreation, and The Knotty Shop, where unique local crafts can be found, enhancing the overall experience of this vibrant community.

The experience of spending time on the deck offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the tranquility of nature. Guests can observe a variety of wildlife, including bears and moose, which enhances the connection to the surrounding wilderness. The lush woods provide a perfect backdrop for these sightings, making each moment an adventure. On clear days, the stunning Alaskan Range can be admired, adding to the picturesque landscape, especially while utilizing the outdoor gas stove for cooking—an amenity available at no additional charge for guests.
