In an ever-connected world, it can be hard to plan a fully unplugged getaway. Yet there are properties that are designed to provide or at least feel remote enough to get their guests off of the grid. From not having steady wi-fi to being far from major roads, here are cabins and lodges across the US that provide some self-recharging.
Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge – Alaska
Reaching this coastal Alaskan lodge on Fox Island requires a 12-mile boat ride from Seward to arrive. The eight-guest cabin property and its main lodge are nestled in the woods between a pristine pebble beach and a quiet lagoon.
Relying on renewable energy as a power source, but backed up by propane generators, the cabins go without electrical outlets, TVs, radios or phones (emergency communication access is available, in case of a serious issue). Guests can also hike or kayak or learn more about the area’s marine life from on-staff naturalists.
Osprey Cabin in Lake Metigoshe State Park – North Dakota
This backcountry cabin within this state park in northern North Dakota is accessible by one of two ways – a 2-mile hike or a 1.5-mile canoe ride and short portage. It’s also retro in a rural way. It sleeps up to six with two full beds and two twin beds and includes a wood-burning stove, with supplied wood to fuel it, and a lantern with propane cylinders.
Now here comes the hard part: along with no electricity or cell service, a vault toilet is available onsite, but water has to be packed in. Head down more than eight miles of trails open to hikers and mountain bikers and go swimming or boating within small lakes.

Glamping Getaway Goblin Valley Yurts – Utah
Within Southern Utah’s Goblin Valley State Park, two heated and cooled yurts blend in with the park’s outer-space-looking rock formations. For reserve year-round, the tan-colored yurts contain just a porch, living area, a single bed bunked on a double bed and a futon.
Guests should pack a flashlight and candles, as the yurts lack electricity. Yet this certified dark sky park will keep visitors busy with wandering among its Valley of Goblins or canyoneering down into Goblin’s Lair. Read More…
