Hi Doug - Thanks for being a fan of our Discovery TV show: Edge Of Alaska. We are working on plans to sell our various businesses. Surveying is complete, next step is replatting the main block of town. The new hotel, the gondola and MotherLode are all ideas we would love to continue to develop. acpMcCarthyLodge.com TV time is like 'dog years' in reverse. What takes years to develop in bush Alaska, on television, time is compressed into episodes to share as theater for a tv audience. It's hard to figure facts from an exaggeration done in a documentary style. Especially when our show had plenty of absolute truths & it's share of dramatic moments. Just ask a resident and they'll tell you there is no 100 room hotel for 130 miles in any direction. This will be changing, but it will take years to accomplish. Folks who've seen our show are often staying with us in McCarthy - and it's a blast! Hope you make it to McCarthy one day!
Not at Ma Johnsons, that place is tiny. The official lodge is bigger but I don't know of any plans for a new 100 room anything.
Not sure. The area we stayed in did not appear to have anything that large.
