About Takusko House
This 15-bedroom,
7,000-square-foot lodge was established in 1983. McGrath is located on
the
Kuskokwim
River in central Alaska, a 45-minute flight from Anchorage. The area
has good fishing and hunting, and in the winter people
enjoy dog
sledding, snowmobiling, skiing, and the northern lights. McGrath is
also a
major checkpoint for the Iron Dog snowmobile race and the Iditarod sled
dog
race.
Building and Grounds
The entire business is enclosed within a 7,000-square-foot building
including a large screened deck and large attached
garage on a one-acre lot in mid-town McGrath. The lodge has a
comfortable, casual
atmosphere, more like a B&B or a boarding house than a hotel,
although there are
five rooms with private bathrooms. The lodge has
high-speed internet access and satellite television in two public rooms.
Current Activities
The primary business is lodging and food service for guests. The
clientele
consists of service providers traveling to and through McGrath (a hub
for central
Alaskan villages) as well as hunters, Iditarod tourists and Irondog
participants. The central Alaska region is a
great place for fishing, hunting, gold mining, snowmobile trips, dog
mushing, general sightseeing, and purchasing authentic native arts and
crafts. Some native crafts are for sale. In addition, the lodge is set
up to provide
breakfast, lunch and dinner to guests.
