Drive thru Chitina onto 60 miles gravel road, park at pedestrian bridge at end of road. Walk across bridge, a white van with the sign "Kennicott Copper Cottage" will meet you. YOU MUST CALL Steve (360-988-0511) when you reach Glennallen and Chitina. This will avoid a long wait at the pedestrian bridge upon your arrival to the National Park. Verizon and Copper Valley work well in Kennecott- therefore you MUST CALL Steve in Glennallen and Chitina. (360-988-0511)

We will anticipate your arrival at the footbridge 4 hrs after your call from Glennallen and 2 hr after your call from Chitina.

Cottage is closed mid Sept thru mid May--PLEASE BE SURE TO READ "ADDITIONAL LOCATION INFORMATION" UNDER THE "LOCATION" TAB FOR COMPLETE, DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS OF HOW TO GET HERE

Plenty of hiking poles, bear spray and many comforts there for your use. Recommended to bring food, not many food options in the area. Kennicott has 2 restaurants- Meatza Wagon and the Kennicott Lodge, McCarthy (located 4 miles away) has The Potato and the McCarthy Bar) No real grocery store is there- what is there is quite expensive. It is a full kitchen at the cottage so feel free to bring whatever you need. Some basic food stuffs are there in case you forget something.

Great place at the "End of the Road"

So happy we were able to arrange our stay here. Kathy was so easy to work with making our trip possible. Onsite Steve was completely helpful and knew all there was to know about the cottage and the area. Cottage itself was well maintained and comfortable even with six adults. Screen porch came in handy when the bugs were looking to bite. Cottage was well supplied and the kitchen has plenty of items that had been missed on our shopping list. Cottage was a oasis at the end of our long hiking days. I couldn't be more pleased with this rental and would gladly stay here again. Thanks Kathy!

Wow!

Great views, great location (be prepared to walk UP to the cabin from Kennecott). We saw auroras right over the house and loved the walk (across the waterfall) to the mine and town. The shuttle service is very efficient from McCarthy and Kennecott.

Great spot

It was fun to stay at one of the very few spots in this historic city. Mine tour was cool. Walking on the glacier was cool. Lots to explore. This was a great house for our family of 5. I really appreciate these rare properties that have great history and in beautiful places - this is one of them.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy

I live and work full time in Anchorage, AK, moving here in 1998. My first trip to Kennecott was in 1999 and immediately fell in love with the astounding beauty. It just captures you; amazes you. After realizing I was going there several times every summer, I decided to become a part of the community. When I am there, I can be recognized by the greyhounds that are always at my side!

Why they chose this property

This property on Silk Stocking Row is the "Rodeo Drive" of Kennecott. The best place to be, the ONLY place to be. Near all the hiking trails to the mill, mines and glaciers. Historic town, and yet quiet on the road.

What makes this property unique

Screened in front porch is a huge plus! You can sit on the porch in the warm sun, watch the birds and listen to the glacier creaking and calving. The historic home has ALL the amenities including a FLUSH TOILET! Now that is a treat!
