COVID-19 Information and Protocols

We look forward to hosting you in our remote corner of the world. Everyone has been impacted in some way or form due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic There is some important information we want to communicate to all our overnight guests before your arrival.

Your Health Care
Tonglen Lake’s mission is to share the best of its remote environment. That environment, like all of Alaska, includes both friendly and unfriendly microbes. And, yes, Covid-19 can hitch a ride to Tonglen Lake, by no design of ours. By staying at Tonglen Lake you are accepting responsibility for your personal health care. By becoming a guest, you are opening yourself to the unique Tonglen experience.

We want your visit to be safe and memorable.  We practice hygiene appropriate for our rural and rustic setting. We cannot, however, assure you of a germ or Covid-19 free environment. Please take such precautions as are advised by Alaska’s government leaders and your health care provider.

Alaska Health Advisory Statements on Travel
Health Advisory 2 - International and Interstate Travel:

The State of Alaska has no special entry or travel testing requirements. Beginning June 1, 2021, all travelers to Alaska will be eligible to receive a free COVID-19 vaccine in Alaska, including at participating airports. 

The existing airport testing infrastructure will remain in place to protect Alaskans and visitors alike.

Current information can be found on the State of Alaska’s COVID Information webpages: Alaska COVID Mandates AND Alaska Traveler Information.

If you fall ill during your time at Tonglen Lake Lodge, COVID-19 tests are available at different locations throughout the Denali Borough. If you test positive, you will be required by the State of Alaska to self isolate at your own expense in a designated location, and you will not be able to travel unless cleared by public health. You will not be able to remain at Tonglen Lake Lodge if you test positive for COVID-19, or have close contact with an individual who has tested positive, and need to isolate or quarantine.

Our Protocols
Social distancing: We will have a plexiglass barrier set up in our office and Cafe to greet you in person. Guests will be encouraged to order their breakfast and dinner as well as select a dining time the evening prior to ensure spaced-out seating and prompt service.

Face masks:  We have disposable face masks and reusable face coverings available for you if you wish to use them in our public spaces (some tours may also require them for all or part of their activity). We thank you for respecting the health of our staff and your fellow guests.

Sanitizing and cleaning: Our Cafe has a new HEPA Air Purifier that will be running during morning breakfast and evening drink service. All spaces will be cleaned with sanitizing solution, followed by all “touch” surfaces being disinfected frequently. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the main buildings. We will only have cabin and room refreshing services upon request. If you ever require any additional amenities or attention, please ask! Our staff are always just a phone call away. If anything arises during your stay, or if you have any questions about your time in Denali, we will be available and happy to help.

Upon your arrival we will have you sign a waiver releasing Tonglen Lake Lodge from any claim for contracted disease and for claims stemming from the inherent nature of rustic and rural living. We trust you to be aware of these risks prior to travel, and we will take all necessary steps to help keep you and our community healthy.
