Turnagain View Lodge

Turnagain View Lodge is an 11-acre outdoor wedding and event venue situated at Mile 104 of the Seward Highway in Indian, Alaska — approximately 30 minutes south of Anchorage and halfway between Anchorage and Girdwood. The property sits on a historic gold mining claim along the Indian Valley Mine, with panoramic views of the Chugach Mountains and the waters of Turnagain Arm. The venue offers two White Peak Pole Tent spaces alongside a 3,700-square-foot log lodge, together accommodating gatherings from intimate celebrations to weddings of up to 240 guests. A groomed half-acre lawn with a pond, a fire pit area, and ample parking round out the outdoor grounds. The lodge also provides overnight accommodations for up to 12 guests across three rooms, making it a destination option for multi-day events. On-site activities include gold panning, a museum, and a gift shop — all part of the Indian Valley Mine heritage that gives the property its distinctive character.
