Best Accommodations in Skagway or Dyea
Spend your evenings amongst the trees, enjoying the peace and quiet not easily found at accommodations in Skagway. The Chilkoot Trail Outpost is located a quick 7 miles out the road, about a 15 minute drive, from the Skagway townsite in the neighboring valley of Dyea. This lodging offers CLEAN, extraordinary and comfortable sleeping accommodations in beautifully hand-crafted cabins. These cabins are made of Sitka Spruce taken from the Chilkat Valley about 20 miles Southwest of here. The logs were transported to the Yukon to Scandinavian log smiths where they were then skillfully hand peeled, sculpted, and prepared for the construction of this site. The ridgepole totem carvings depict Native Tlingit artwork, the indigenous people of this area.
Most cabins have a fridge and microwave but all are equipped with a coffeemaker, private baths and Wifi access. A hearty breakfast buffet in the main lodge is included with your stay. In addition, there is a lodge room with reading materials, gazebo for guest use and event center for rental.
The Outpost consists of eight individual cabins that will accommodate guests in ten individual quarters offered in three different layouts: Deluxe Cabin Suite, Classic Cabin & our Hiker Cabin.
The Deluxe Cabin Suites
Three suites offer a separate bedroom, sitting room with a double futon and private bath. Each deck has a hand-crafted log swing.
The Classic Cabins
The Classic Cabins offer a beautiful and rustic cabin structure with the more traditional open room layout. All three Classic Cabins have open floor plans with two queen beds and a private bath. One cabin has been designed for physically challenged guests.
The Hiker Suites
Want a good nights rest and a full belly before heading out on the trail (or coming off of it)? These charming accommodations have become a popular option for the more cost conscious traveler. Though smaller rooms, each Hiker Suite still offers comfortable beds and a private bath as well as a full breakfast each morning.
An enclosed hand-crafted gazebo equipped with a commercial BBQ, sink with hot and cold running water and seating is available to guests. Located between the gazebo and waterfall is our popular evening campfire pit which is a favorite activity of our guests. S’more ingredients and a guitar are always at hand for your enjoyment.
The natural beauty of the Outpost offers hiking trails, picnic grounds, natural springs, a waterfall, BBQ gazebo, bicycles and much more!
