The Lodge

PLEASE NOTE THIS LODGE WILL BE CLOSED FOR SUMMER SEASON 2024

Welcome to the wilds of Alaska. With one million acres of heli-accessible wilderness and rustic backcountry lodging reachable only by float plane, Winterlake Lodge offers limitless adventure. Six lakefront cabins position guests to explore the call of the wild from every peak, rapid, and glacier in sight—and welcome them home to a jaw-dropping setting framed by the imposing peaks of the Alaska Range and Tordrillo Mountains.

As the latest addition to our global lodge collection, Winterlake Lodge will soon be reimagined with the distinct style and elevated comforts that distinguish Eleven, adding to an already remarkable experience defined by onsite heli-access to an endless outdoor playground. From trekking across glaciers and hiking through treeless tundra, to rafting down Class III rapids and pursuing all five species of Pacific Salmon on the fly, your heli-excursions will be customized and led by an expert team of guides who live to show you the best of Alaska’s hiking, fishing, and paddling opportunities.

Set on mile marker 194 of the storied Iditarod Trail and anchored by a historic dining area that was hand built by the original homesteaders, Winterlake Lodge delivers an immersive experience of Alaska’s natural world, native heritage, and quintessential lifestyle. Opportunities to spot wildlife are boundless, whether it be black bears and moose while canoeing on the lodge’s bordering lake, or Alaskan Huskies while mushing on a dog sledding tour. Not to be overlooked is the exceptional culinary program, orchestrated by brilliant chefs who delight guests with local reindeer sausage, wild salmon, and king crab paired with fine wines and domestic ales.

Highlighted by unparalleled access to an infinite range of hyper-customizable adventures and the palpable authenticity of its off-grid wilderness setting, Winterlake Lodge invites you to adventure beyond where roads can take you and embrace the free spirit of a still wild landscape like never before.
