Carriage House Restaurant
The Carriage House Restaurant was built in the late 1920’s. The building itself has its own unique history. It’s been used as a carriage and wheel repair shop, a lumber yard, and a general store. It finally found its current identity in the 1970’s and has been providing delicious food and beverages in a casual and interesting atmosphere ever since.
Trappers' Den Tavern
Originally constructed as a garage by the United States Army in World War II, the Trappers’ Den brings its own fun history to the Gakona Lodge story. It used to be in a different location altogether on the property too.
In the late 1960’s the newly moved garage building was converted into a bar and became known as the Trappers’ Den Tavern. For about 50 years now, the Trappers’ Den has been a favorite hangout and stop-in of locals and travelers alike.
Check our News and Events page for scheduled live music and other events at the tavern.
