Blackburn Cabins - Dora Keen Cabin

Cozy log cabin with 2 full beds, cooktop, and a propane heater—perfect for an Alaskan adventure! Enjoy hot outdoor showers, and authentic Alaskan outhouses. A short stroll from McCarthy, you’re close to food, music, and fun but tucked in the trees for peace and glacier views. Hike to the toe of glacier, watch for wildlife, or just relax and soak in the Wrangell Mountain vibes. Great for families or friends looking for a true off-the-beaten-path stay! The space Come stay in your own cozy, rustic cabin tucked into the woods. It’s peaceful and quiet here, but just a short walk or bike ride into McCarthy for a meal, a cold beer, live music, the museum, open mic on Thursdays, or a Friday night softball game. You can even catch the shuttle up to Kennicott! Each cabin has super comfy beds (two fulls or one queen), a small kitchenette with running water and a single-burner cooktop, access to a shared grill and cookware, a water filter, unlimited hot outdoor showers (a true luxury out here!), classic Alaskan outhouses, soft cotton or bamboo linens, a propane heater so you can stay year-round, and fire rings for evenings around the campfire. Guest access Located in the heart of Wrangell–St. Elias National Park along the scenic Wagon Road between McCarthy and Kennicott, Blackburn Cabins offers the best of both worlds — close to town and local spots but immersed in wilderness. After reaching the road’s end by car or shuttle, you’ll cross the Kennicott River via footbridge. We’ll greet you there and drive you the final mile to your cabin. From here, explore on foot, bike, or take the nearby shuttle. Full arrival instructions come with your booking to make your trip smooth. Please note that not all rental car companies allow travel on the McCarthy Rd. Let us know if you need help with travel logistics!
