Yes! What happens to our trash? Pack it in, pack it out. Please take all trash, food, and gear with you—there’s no landfill here. If you prefer not to haul it out, we can dispose of it for $25 per 13-gallon bag to cover removal costs. What about water? Drinking water is filtered through a Berkey Water Filter. Non-potable water is provided for dishes and showers in limited quantities—please conserve when possible. Do the cabins have WiFi? No, but hotspots are available in McCarthy and Kennicott through Copper Valley Telephone (CVT). CVT and Verizon work well; AT&T does not. How is our food kept cold? Meadow Cabin has a small propane refrigerator. Please store all food inside to avoid attracting bears and other wildlife. Do you allow pets? Sorry, no we don't. Being off-grid without traditional electricity makes thorough cleaning after pets difficult. Is there gas in McCarthy? Usually yes, near the end of McCarthy Road—but always fill up in Glennallen, Kenny Lake, or Chitina before heading out. Is there a store nearby? Yes, a small general store in McCarthy carries basics, but it’s best to bring most of what you’ll need with you. Please note: Meadow Cabin does not have an indoor bathroom; it features a private shower house and a clean, well-maintained outhouse just steps from the cabin.
