Alaska Adventure Lodge “Remote Lifestyle Lodging”

Alaska Adventure Lodge is hands down the most exotic you can get in America, a northerly paradise where the mountains are twice as big, the skies twice as vast, the days twice as long (or don’t happen at all), and the best places are exponentially more remote like Alyeska Hermitage Treehouse Resort. Nature, at its most epic and glorious, is still king here, with the state accounting for more than half of the U.S.’ protected wilderness areas.

While plenty of cruise ships play the waters of the southeastern panhandle, and a good number of visitors opt for camper vans or cheap and cheerful cabins with shared bathhouses, the quintessential luxury Alaska is found by going off-road. Catering to sportsmen and photographers, the best adventure lodges are reached only by floatplane, helicopter or 12-seater Cessna — which makes the fact that people managed to build these outposts of refined rusticity all the more remarkable.
