Experience a bit of Alaska’s history in the midst of the magnificence of Wrangell Saint Elias National Park at Seventeen Silk Stocking Row. Restored to near-perfect condition, with a few amenities added for your convenience, Seventeen Silk Stocking Row offers guests a great place to stay that is minutes from all of the sites Kennicott has to offer.

Originally built as housing for the managers of Kennicott Copper in 1918, this cottage was renovated in 1996.

The cottage consists of a living room, kitchen, and three guest rooms, as well as a shower and sink in an out-building. A newly constructed outhouse carries the same colors as the cottage.

Though the cottage was originally provided with electricity from the Kennicott Copper generator plant, the only source of power now is a generator which is run only to recharge batteries for phone service.

Heat is provided by outside venting propane heaters while propane lights illuminate the house. (However, the long days of an Alaska summer make lights unnecessary for most of the evening.)

With three guest rooms, there is plenty of space to relax and unwind. The downstairs room has a double bed, and the two upstairs rooms have two twin beds in each.

The living room has a queen-size futon to accommodate extra family members or friends.

All rooms are supplied with fresh linen and extra blankets and pillows.

With quiet neighbors, and miles from the nearest paved road, you’ll find it easy to get that well-deserved, good night’s sleep you’ve been wanting.

Make yourself at home in the light and cheery kitchen, which has running hot and cold water, a propane stove, propane lights, a propane refrigerator, and plenty of cupboard space for storage.

All cooking utensils (pots, pans, silverware, etc.) are provided. Breakfast options (coffee, tea, cereal, oatmeal, pancake mix, etc.) are available. The kitchen is also stocked with basic food staples, such as sugar, salt, spices, cooking oil, etc., in limited quantities. However you’ll want to bring major food items for lunch, dinner and snacks. You may also purchase meals at the Kennicott Glacier Lodge or McCarthy Lodge. If you have dinner at McCarthy Lodge, they’ll even provide transportation back to 17 Silk Stocking Row.

Now it’s your turn to relax and enjoy your stay at beautiful Seventeen Silk Stocking Row.

So come on! Be our guests, and take home memories that will last a lifetime.
