  Staying at Dan's cabin was the vacation of a lifetime. It is like camping out in the beautiful Alaska wilderness, with all the convienences of home. Plus grand hospitality of the owners. The setting of the cabins is complete relaxation, you hear nothing but the rustling trees and birds. And yet centrally located to so many activities that we could not finish in two weeks. And that is in addtion to the great fishing - you can have a splendid time even if you dont fish (like us). The cabins are two miles from the Wrangall Park headquarters, with nature tours and learning experiences. There is great river rafting, flightseeing to the majestic mountains, glacier hiking and climbing, and endless hiking. Or an easy drive to Valdez to cruise to see the Columbia glacier, and view and TOUCH the Worthington Glacier and numerous waterfalls on the way. The view everywhere is spectacular. And Dan is a great host and tour guide. He tops off a great holiday !!!!

  In June 2011 we stayed 3 nights in a fantastic cabin. It has all the amenities of home. Copper Center is a perfect basis for making fishing trips or a daytrip to Valdez. If you intend to travel to this area, we can recommend the beautiful cabins of Copper River Retreat. The friendy and helpful converstions we had with the ownder added to our positive experience.

  I recently moved to Alaska from New Hampshire and spent my first month in the Retreat's Burl House. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! The tranquility, privacy, comfort and uniqueness of the Burl House and its setting is beyond description. Not only was it a wonderful experience for me but my two Dalmatian's thought that they had moved to doggie heaven. If you want to experience the "real Alaska" there is not better place. Copper Center is a wonderful little village with a great history to match. Dan is a real Alaskan who knows something about everything. He can talk about fishin, huntin and just about everything else. He was my host and became my friend. Whether you make this your Alaska home for a night, a week or a month...you'll be very glad that you did. You'll spend some time in a very special place that I consider a true work of art- Alaska style and comfort at its finest. And you'll never forget it!

  We spent a few days in the Burl House at Copper Center Retreat and it was great!. The cabin sits in the middle of a birch forest that is just beautiful! Dan, the owner is more then willing to show you or point you in the direction you need for sight seeing, fishing or sharing all his experience with you. The cabin, which has been hand made by him, has all the comforts that you need. And you feel like you are in a corner of heaven...yet just a few minutes from whatever else you may need. Great place to stay and we will be back!

  If the call of the wild is ringing you, Copper Center Retreat is the answer! We've had the pleasure of staying here twice and highly recommend it. The cabins are pieces of art, and your host is a wealth of knowledge on the area and local wildlife. Our time flew by far too fast, even with all the daylight!

  What an experience! My mother and I had the trip of a lifetime when we traveled September 2007 to Copper Center staying at the Burl House. What a gorgeous property and everything you could possibly need is close at hand. The host was extremely knowledgeable about the area and even provided us with a personal tour. The craftsmanship of these cabins is amazing and everything is kept very clean. If you want to experience Alaska this is the place to go!

  We visited Alaska in the summer of 2007 and stayed in one of the cabins. Our host was very gracious and went above and beyond to enhance our experiences. The long daylight hours would have made challenges for getting our son to sleep, but we were pleasantly surprised with window coverings that allowed for peaceful rest. Just one of the thoughtful things our host did to make us feel welcome and cared for. The trip to Valdez is GORGEOUS and an easy day trip. The town of Copper Center is friendly and quaint. The craftsmanship of the cabins is something we had never seen before. We enjoyed our stay and hope that anyone else visiting would have as great of an experience!
