Nestled in the heart of Unalaska, Alaska, the Firehouse Lodge stands as a testament to history and modern comfort. For over 20 years, we've lovingly renovated this World War II-era firehouse into a cozy retreat, blending rustic charm with contemporary amenities.
Our goal was simple: to provide affordable housing in a town where hotel and short term rental space is limited. Each unit is a masterpiece of space optimization, featuring marble, tile, high ceilings, and heated flooring. With full-size kitchens, in-suite washers and dryers, and stunning valley views, our lodge offers both convenience and beauty.
Beyond our doors, adventure awaits. Close to trailheads and lakes, the Firehouse Lodge is the perfect base for exploring the wild beauty of Alaska. Whether you're hiking, fishing, bird watching or simply soaking in the scenery, you'll find an unforgettable experience waiting for you here. Welcome to the Firehouse Lodge—a slice of history in the heart of Alaska's wilderness.
