Tordrillo Mountain Lodge
Judd Lake, Alaska
Plenty of places can promise to house you deep in the great outdoors, but few places let you explore the surrounding wilderness like Tordrillo Mountain Lodge. Just a 70-mile floatplane ride from Anchorage, this 5,600-square-foot lodge serves as base camp as you explore the nearby mountain slopes, Talachulitna River and Judd Lake. From the lodge — which features deluxe guest rooms, a family room, great room, a wood-fired hot tub, and, somehow, Wi-Fi — you can see two 11,000-foot volcanoes and Mt. McKinley, while a helicopter awaits outside to drop you off at remote fishing holes or high atop the mountains for runs down the fresh, unspoiled powder.
