Amazing hideaway

This house has a beautiful yard with a great view if the harbor. The house is immaculate with a nicely stocked kitchen including everything you need for cooking. The fridge has most of the basics and there is coffee for brewing. The house is surrounded with a wrap around patio with amazing views from all angles. The property owner is a delight to work with. I would definitely come back.

Amazing home!

Just completed a 4 day stay at this gorgeous property! The views out every window of the ocean and mountains are magical! The house is five star level accommodations- extremely clean, comfortable beds, kitchen fully equipped, and definitely the best views of any other home in Wrangell! The sweet homeowner, Dori, was always available by text or email from when I first booked to the entire stay. My family of 4, grandparents and great Aunt all felt spoiled to be able to stay in this lovely home and cute town! Looking forward to returning in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Dori Matney

Rick and Dori Matney operate their fishing charter business from the Chrome Chasers from the Lodge. Check out the Chrome Chasers Website: www.chromechasers.com

Chrome Chasers runs for 5 weeks during the months of April and May for steelhead fly fishing in the local streams on islands around Wrangell Island. Chrome Chasers Steelhead fishing trips take 4 clients total per week long trip. Anglers fish everyday and pull crab and shrimp pots daily for seafood dinners.

Chrome Chasers offers a fishing and foraging trip during 6 weeks in August and September. These trips are a week long and accommodate 4 to 6 guests per week. They are excellent couples trips. Anglers fish the streams on local islands for 4 species of salmon, sea run cutthroat trout and dolly varden. They can use the fly rods or conventional tackle provided. Guests also have the option to forage for mushrooms such as king boletes, chicken of the woods, golden chanterelles, yellow foot chanterelles, black trumpets and a variety of wild berries . Crab and shrimp pots are pulled daily for seafood dinners. There is also ocean fishing while trolling for king and silver salmon and bottom fishing for halibut and other bottom fish, regulations permitting.

Why they chose this property

This is the most unique property on all of Wrangell Island and possibly in all of Southeast Alaska. This house is truly a special place, and The Matney's are so blessed to have it for operating the Chrome Chasers business and fishing lodge. The house is a peaceful place and an amazing getaway for guests. There was an immense amount of thought and skill put into the architecture. The house was built on solid rock and is built around the rock it sits on. The woodwork was commissioned to be completed by a yacht builder in the early 90's and the predominant wood is Brazilian Tigerwood. Hardwood floors throughout much of the house are beautiful and the light carpet is plush and clean. The home boasts 2 fireplaces and a large wood burning stove in the kitchen. The soaring ceilings allow for light from the windows around the house to brighten every room throughout the house during the day. The central living room is the darkest room, perfect for relaxing and watching movies.
