Guests loved their stay at Fox Creek Cabin, praising its cleanliness and spaciousness. The cabin provided a perfect escape from cold and wet conditions, allowing for enjoyable outdoor activities like building a fire and relaxing by the creek. Overall, it is well-maintained and offers a great experience in a woodland setting.
We were 4 fortunate hikers who were able to hike Resurrection Pass from Cooper Landing to Hope, AK in August of 2019 during the 9 days the trail was open. It was closed before and after our hike due to Swan Lake forest fires. We stayed in Romig, Fox Creek, and Devil’s Pass cabins. All cabins were clean and perfect with spectacular views. This was a hike of a lifetime.

Cancellation policy
Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
