Fabulous place to see the Northern Lights. The lodge is cozy and the option to cook is great. There weren't many people when we came, so privacy in the common areas was great. Communication with staff was topnotch.

Clean, rustic and comfy

Despite our late arrival and short stay, we found the Northern Sky Lodge to be a clean, simple, and rustic stop on our self-directed travel in AK. The breakfast and common areas were very well organized and accommodating. Beds clean and comfy. Wish we could have been there on a clear night.
