About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Turnagain View Lodge & Wedding Venue

Landing in Alaska and sleeping in a log home, handcrafted from large spruce trees is in itself, a unique experience but when you wake up in the morning and see the view... You will understand why couples get married here!

Conveniently located between Anchorage and Girdwood, AK it's a quick 30 minute drive south of the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. The lodge is situated uphill from Indian Valley Mine, a 1901 National Historic Site where you can learn how to pan for Gold!

With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 8 beds, it's perfect to set up home base for day trips close by or as a jumping off spot for the Kenai.

Consider using the lodge to host private parties or weddings, white party tents are available with extra fees.

Please note: There is a caretaker and a private caretaker’s area designed to keep the lodge running smoothly. During the time of your reservations, no areas are shared other than the driveway for onsite parking.

Alaska review
The property was clean and beautiful but, a few more cooking pans would be helpful. I didn't realize someone was living in the house during our stay. We heard noises at night of radio or TV and moving furniture.

Beautiful cabin with gorgeous view
This cabin was the perfect overnight stay on our trek from Talkeetna to Seward. The cabin itself is very nice and far more spacious than we expected from the listing. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. It was too cool to sit out on the 2nd floor deck for long. Fortunately the third floor has a spectacular view to enjoy from inside with a wall of windows. Be sure to save time to pan for gold at their mine at the base of property!

We loved this huge rental. Beautiful view. I’ve read another review about the other person living on site and it didn’t bother us one bit. No different than a hotel but WAY nicer!! Had everything we needed for our stay!

Unforgettable
This is the most picturesque place we have ever been to in our lives and to top that off, the log cabin was exquisite. Everything was placed with so much care. The inside was clean, warm and inviting. The hosts were lovely and made us feel very welcome. We would recommend this property to anyone- in fact the atmosphere really left a beautiful impression of Alaska on us.
