Improvements

Ever dreamed of owning a slice of Alaska? Here’s your chance. Gunsight Mountain Lodge is a rare find on the Glenn Highway, combining lodging, a convenience store, RV parking, storage, and tent camping into one thriving business. It’s already generating strong, well-documented cash flow, and it’s priced to reflect a motivated seller who’s ready to make a deal.
This lodge sat dormant for decades before the current owners brought it back to life. Today it’s fully up and running, with all five revenue streams contributing to the bottom line. You’re not buying a fixer-upper or a concept, you’re buying an established business with a track record, and one that’s been extensively updated in just the last couple of years.
The property includes 5 guest rooms, a standalone cabin built in 2026, a private 2-bedroom 1-bath residence, the store, RV parking, and tent camping, plus two additional outbuildings/shops for extra flexibility. Nearly everything has been touched recently: new Toyo stoves throughout the rooms, store, and residence in 2026, new flooring, paint, and furniture in all rooms in 2024/2025, fresh paint and carpet in the residence in 2025, a new septic system in 2025, a new well in 2025, new wiring run to the RV spots in 2025, and new rock gravel laid in the parking lot in 2026. Bathrooms in separate buildings were purchased in 2024. The store itself is well-equipped, offering showers, tobacco, food, ice, and other traveler essentials. All furnishings convey with the sale, including those in the private residence.
The lodge sits near Mile 123 of the Glenn Highway, right in the flow of travelers heading between Anchorage/Palmer and Glennallen through the Copper River Valley. That’s a steady stream of tourists, hunters, anglers, and RV travelers passing by every season, and this property is set up to capture their business in more ways than one.
The lodge has a strong, well-documented financial history, with healthy gross margins and a solid net income relative to revenue. Room rentals are the leading source of income, with the convenience store, storage fees, RV parking, and tent camping rounding out a diversified revenue base. Operating expenses are steady and lodge-typical, covering utilities, room tax, the mortgage payment, and routine upkeep, with nothing unusual or one-time affecting the numbers. Financials are available upon request for qualified buyers.
Most lodges lean on a single source of income. This one doesn’t. Five different revenue streams run under one roof and one team, which keeps overhead lean and gives a new owner real flexibility. Add in the highway traffic, the seasonal demand that comes with it, and a property that’s been meaningfully upgraded and move-in ready, and you’ve got a business that offers exceptional value relative to cash flow.
This one’s a great fit for a hands-on owner-operator ready to run an established Alaska hospitality business, or an investor looking for a diversified property with real estate and multiple income streams built in from day one.

General Operations

Gunsight Mountain Lodge operates as a year-round, multi-revenue hospitality business serving travelers, recreational visitors, and seasonal workers along the Glenn Highway corridor. The operation is anchored by lodge room rentals, which represent the largest share of revenue and provide steady income across both the summer tourism season and the winter recreation months, when the surrounding area draws snowmachiners, hunters, and backcountry travelers.
Complementing the lodging operation is an on-site convenience store, the second-largest revenue contributor, which serves both overnight guests and highway traffic with fuel-stop essentials, groceries, and supplies. The store benefits from the property’s position as one of the few service points along this stretch of the Glenn Highway, giving it a captive customer base with limited nearby competition.
The property also generates meaningful income from three additional streams: RV parking, dry storage fees, and tent camping. These segments require minimal labor and overhead relative to the revenue they produce, and they diversify the business across customer types and seasons. Storage in particular provides recurring, weather-independent income that smooths cash flow through the shoulder seasons.
Day-to-day operations are owner-managed, with a lean expense structure typical of a rural Alaska hospitality business. Major operating costs are concentrated in utilities, repairs and maintenance, and janitorial services, with modest outlays for advertising, insurance, and administration. The business carries strong margins, with total operating expenses representing a small fraction of gross revenue, and it produces substantial cash flow relative to the asking price. Detailed financial statements, including a full profit and loss history, are available to qualified buyers upon request and signed NDA.

Region & Climate

The property lies in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, framed by the Talkeetna Mountains to the north and the Chugach Range to the south, with Gunsight Mountain itself rising directly behind the area as a well-known landmark. Anchorage is about a two-and-a-half-hour drive west, and Glennallen roughly an hour east.
The climate is subarctic and continental, with long, cold winters and short, mild summers. Winter brings reliable snow cover from roughly October through April, making the Eureka area one of Southcentral Alaska’s premier snowmachining destinations, with vast open terrain and consistent conditions that draw riders all season. Summers are cool and dry relative to coastal Alaska, with long daylight hours supporting steady highway tourism, hunting, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The area is also known for frequent northern lights visibility in winter thanks to its elevation and distance from city light.
