We stayed in the cabin and loved it. The bathrooms are shared in the main building, but the cabin had 4 beds and was well maintained. Great experience.

This place is better than it looks. Outside rundown but interiors were updated and cozy. The host had continental breakfast and beautiful mountain views, with stream adjacent to the property and a beautiful train track. You will hear the train at night but its not disruptive. Access to restaurants is limited and gas prices at Vitus (nearby gas station) are expensive, at least $2/gal more than average in Alaska.

Every now and then I find a gem off the beaten path. Cantwell Cabins was fantastic. My family was greeted with a room so fresh that the painters tape still lined the door frame. Breakfast was superb with fruits and something homemade, like quiche, along with the standard breakfast cereals and yogurts. There was internet access and no TV (for us that's a strong positive). Sheets and blankets were clean. Staff was very helpful. Everything was great.

We had a great stay at Cantwell Cabin. It's a cute little cabin in a very convenient location, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. The cabin comfortably accommodated our group of four and was a perfect place to relax and sleep after a day of adventures. Cynthia was very helpful, responsive, and made the stay easy and enjoyable. The only minor inconvenience was that the restroom and shower facilities are located in the main hotel building, so you need to walk over to use them. Other than that, we had a pleasant experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, cozy place to stay in Cantwell.

We really enjoyed talking to Cynthia King. She had a really tough day with vehicle break downs so she was running a little late.

Don't let the outside appearance discourage you from staying at Cantwell Lodge. The rooms were clean, new, and comfortable albeit a bit tight.

Staff was helpful. Hotels.com directions to hotel were wrong. Google search for cantwell cabins got us on to the correct location. Breakfast was nice. A good combination of fresh fruit and basic breakfast options.

First of all, Cynthia was very helpful. She explained everything that we needed to know and you could tell our little cabin was well cared for. When I booked this I did not realize the cabin is a dry cabin and it is in the parking lot of an old closed down bar. We did have our own bathroom inside the old bar. This is definitely not your traditional stay. I'm not saying avoid because it worked out fine for us-just be aware of what you are paying for. Also, there is an active railroad track very close and the trains do blow their horns in the middle of the night. Since we stayed in the summer and it didn't get dark, it wasn't a big deal to walk across the parking lot to use the restroom but it would be creepy during a time of year it gets dark.

This place was not what I was expecting at all. When i got there, the guy running it took me in through the back. Just about all the lights were off. He was turning them on when we walked through the whole building. He told me it was because electricity is expensive and they are trying to save money. The room was like attached to a shut down/run down bar and restaurant. The feeling of the place was like, "i hope this isnt a serial killer's home and I'm being lured in". There is supposed to be a continental breakfast but nothing had been prepared before I left. He told me he was dealing with family issues and had over slept. Just a very strange motel experience and i would not stay here again.

How this place received a 8 rating is beyond me. There are no euphemisms to substitute for plain language in this case; this venue is a dump. The “front desk” was non-existent. When I arrived, I had to yell out, “is anyone here?” The main lodge looked like one big trash heap; nothing like the posted pictures. Checking the continental breakfast on our the last morning, there was a plate covered with foil with a sign card that said “quiche made fresh 7/4/26.” The problem was it was set out on 7/5 (I have photos of everything). Bottom line, if you are desperate for a place to stay inside, you can book here. Otherwise, spend the money to stay somewhere else more reputable.

Do not stay here. My room had no hot water, so showering was miserable. It also had no AC, making the room unbearably hot. When I brought this up, the owner told me to just open the door for cool air, and said they don’t have much capacity for hot water, basically admitting the problem instead of fixing it. On top of that, the booking was non-refundable, so I was stuck paying full price for a room that didn’t even have basic amenities working. Avoid.

Property was not yet open. rooms we were shown would not have been acceptable in a homeless shelter. Restaurant & bar was not open though was advertised.. Entire place was a dump & we refused to stay there & demanded a refund.
