About this property

Kennicott Copper Cottage

Beautiful home in the heart of Kennicott, near mill, glacier trails, mine trails, wild life. 2 bedrooms, propane stove, refrigerator, hot water, heat, flush toilet. Solar power to charge cell phones, personal computer. Queen and full size beds, 3 cots available. Many of the original fixtures and furnishings in this 100 year old home. Sit in the screened front porch and listen to the glacier calve.

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 (360-296-2840) 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. (360-296-2840

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 (open Tuesday-Sunday 11-4) and the Kennicott Lodge( will need to make reservations here- open to availability)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.Checkin time between 4-8 unless otherwise arranged with driver - arriving early? Happy to watch your luggage while you explore

About the host

Hosted by Kathy

Host profile image
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!
