Fodor's Expert Review Ma Johnson's Historical Hotel

McCarthy, Alaska, 99566, USA

A restored boarding house from McCarthy's early-1900s mining heyday is now a characterful B&B decorated with antiques and artifacts. Although rooms are cheerful—with traditional quilts and lace curtains—they're extremely small, with just enough room for a wrought-iron bed (it's best if you have small bags with you). The hotel is right on "main street" in McCarthy, across from the Golden Saloon and The Bear & Salmon Restaurant, which, like this hotel, are owned by local character Neil Darish.
