Formerly a boarding house, now a living museum with 20 bedrooms, this unique hotel built in the old mining town of McCarthy in 1923 surrounds guests with evidence of Alaska's industrial past. With no TVs, phones or electrical outlets in the rooms, staying here really is like stepping back in time.

Once the state's largest city, McCarthy was mostly abandoned when the nearby Kennecott Copper Mines closed in 1938. After an eerie ghost town era, it has since become a small yet popular tourist spot for those who love history and the great outdoors.
