Book a hotel near Mount Blackburn, Chitina

"Ma Johnson's is the classic vintage small town hotel. The decor reflected the town's history and each room was decorated accordingly. They were upfront about things like a shared bathroom and no outlets in the rooms. It was a little cold upstairs since that floor does not have heaters in the rooms but they gave us extra blankets. For us, these things were issues and it was fun to socialize w/the other guests while charging up our electronics. The WiFi worked great as did the transportation. Everyone was helpful and it was easy to get around town. The breakfast was outstanding!"

"This place is a gem in the Alaskan wilderness! Four of us stayed in the Bear cabin (one king bed, one bed in the loft, and a twin bed as well). The bed was heavenly! The breakfast was amazing and filled us up until dinner! The hosts, James and Christina, were so very kind and shared their experiences during the delicious breakfast! The property was beautiful, too... you could sit by the river or fire. I cannot believe how comfortable James and Christina made our stay, especially given the remoteness of the place! They provided bear spray, and even snacks and drinks for later in the day. Staying here will be a lovely, lifelong memory! My only advice would be to leave earlier than you think you need to from Fairbanks or Anchorage. "

"The location was wonderful. My only reason I wouldn’t stay again was the location of the outhouse. It was too far. Patrick was wonderful and easy to get ahold of. "

"It was a very nice, cozy stay with awesome staff. "

"The cabins were great, clean and well maintained. The hosts were always available, kind, and accommodating. Close to the foot bridge and easy to find using the directions the host provides (Google gets you to the mile marker, not the cabin). Print or download directions. We had a great stay! Would definitely choose the cabins again."

"The host (Michael) was very knowledgeable of the area and helpful in getting us what we needed. "
