Beautiful property, beautiful owners! Kathy and Fred have created a piece of paradise at the doorstep to the world renown Chilkoot Trail. Cozy, comfortable cabins in the majestic forest of Southeast Alaska, great location to pamper yourself before your life altering hike, or for a 'get-away'/retreat or special event. Give them a call and treat yourself!

What a gem. KK and Fred are the owners and treated us like family. The cabins are clean and comfy. They don't allow pets in the buildings, but you can put your pets can sleep in the car, or if you have a dog you can tether it outside. DINNER WAS EXCELLENT. After having an issue with a hotel in...

We stayed here before and after hiking the Chilkoot Trail in July of 2012. Perfect choice! Not only for the convenience, but also the atmosphere. The staff here cater to the hikers, and make their stay as comfortable as possible. You get a large breakfast the morning you leave for the trail with the promise of hot showers and a... More

I can't imagine more friendly and helpful hosts or more comfortable and beautiful cabins and setting. We arrived to hike the Chilkoot trail but had vehicle troubles just before Skagway. With the help of the very friendly police department in Skagway we were taken to the Outpost Lodge and were able to continue our backpacking adventure. Kathy and Fred were... More

The setting is beautiful, the cabins great. Even the seven mile trip from Skagway was great. We opted for the "basket supper" one night. This was a cook it yourself type meal. They give you a baske twitch all you need and they have a very clean efficient Bar-b-que hut to cook it in. I had the steak and halibut... More

We arrived in Dyea on a cool, wet afternoon and couldn't have received a more warm welcome from Kathy. The pride of ownership in her business is evident. From the cabins to the grounds, the place is spotless and gleaming. We had been on the road without a place to do laundry for a number of days and Kathy went... More

This is a great place to stay in the region. It is comfortable, clean, in a beautiful setting very close to the Chilkoot Trail. There are small trails and interesting places to visit nearby. Kathy and Fred are terrific hosts and make one feel at home.

After the first visit in 2010, we just had to come back for more! We were not disappointed, Kathy continues to give 110% in looking after her guests - a minor booking quibble with a third-party was efficiently dealt with by Kathy on our behalf - she really does take care of her guests. This place is ideal to escape... More

This is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed for two days and easily could have stayed for more. Fred and Kathy were wonderful hosts and run a great place. Clean, cozy, well maintained, great breakfasts....I could go on. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary over an open fire with s'mores after a lovely dinner in Skagway. If staying in... More

My wife and I came back to Skagway area and stayed another week at Chilcoot Trail Outpost. Kathy takes care of EVERYTHING: car rental, plane reservations, special steam train tickets-- you name it, she knows who does it, has it, sells it or rents it in the whole area. Breakfasts were generous and great. Campfire at night was special treat... More
