If rustic, charming log cabins in a back-to-nature atmosphere is your thing, then Kathy & Fred at the CTO are your people. This "outpost" really is one: it's about 9-miles from Skagway on a long, single lane gravel road that takes you into the picturesque valley where the once thriving Gold Rush town of Dyea is located. Full of vim... More

My husband and I spent 1 night here on our honeymoon! From the moment we arrived the Hosford's were amazing hosts; their generosity and kindness was much appreciated. We loved the 'honeymoon' cabin with the water flowing down the waterfall outside our window (nice to leave the window open at night). Kathy Hosford is very knowledgeable about the area and... More

If you want to trade the cruise ship crowds in Skagway for the quiet beauty of unspoiled Alaska book a cabin at the Chilkoot Trail Outpost in Dyea. This small family-owned lodging offers peace and quiet in comfortable cabins. Located near the historic Gold Rush ghost town of Dyea, Chilkoot Trail Outpost is situated several miles down the road from... More

The owners of the Chilkoot Trail Outpost are wonderful people and they made my friends and I feel as welcome as family. Skagway is fun, but the Dyea Valley is majestically beautiful and the Outpost is located right at the center of it with the Chilkoot Trail literally right in their backyard. The Outpost is completely modern and cozy with... More

My 7 year old daughter and I stayed here for a week. The Hosford's were amazing. We truly felt like we were staying with family. So clean, s'mores are a relaxing way to end busy days. The drive from SkagwY to Dyea is beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

We were looking for a place to stay in Skagway overnight as we planned to catch the ferry the following day. As the Chilkoot Trail Outpost had so many positive comments on Travel Advisor we decided to give it a try. Thanks to everyone for your comments! We arrived a little late but the owners were just great. When we... More

Our group of six ladies stayed here prior to beginning our trek on the Chilkoot Trail. The hosts are unfailingly helpful. The cabins are cozy and comfortable, both breakfast and supper were excellent and the location encourages meeting others around the campfire or exploring the area on the complimentary bicycles. It's one of our fondest memories of our Alaska/Canada adventure.

You've found it in the Chilkoot Trail Outpost! Our family of 7 stayed here in August of 2011. Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer!! Kathy... More

Planning on going to SKagway Alaska ? You have to stay at the Chilkoot Trail Outpost. Extremely friendly owners, they even made breakfast earlier for us to make the ferry. We spent two nights here in August of this year and really enjoyed ourselves. On our first night, we had dinner at the Outpost and met people from other parts... More

Kathy and Fred know the history of the sourrounding area like only long time residents can. Thier excellent lodge and cabins, nestled beside the mountains in Dyea, away form the hustle and bustle of Skayway are a welcome Oasis for travellers. Evenings around the fire pit having a beer and sharing experiences of your trip, or listening to Fred talk... More
