Boreal
Lodging is owned, built, and operated by Scott & Heidi Schoppenhorst. We
have two boys, Christopher 17, Joshua 11, and have been year round residents of
Wiseman Village since 1989 (Heidi grew up in Wiseman). We also hold jobs with
Gates of the Arctic NP&P, Scott maintaining the nearby Ranger Station, and
Heidi working summers at the Arctic Interagency Visitor Center in Coldfoot.
The
Brooks Range offers a peaceful lifestyle, surrounded by awesome scenery, and
opportunities only to be experienced in a true wilderness such as this. Subsistence is the way of life here in
Wiseman - hunting, fishing, berry picking, trapping, & woodcutting are
essential for all residents – and also the life we enjoy.
The
Dalton Highway opened to the public in 1995, allowing visitors easier access to
the arctic, and the opportunity to enjoy all of the surrounding public lands
& wilderness this area is made up of. Lodging & other services are very
limited along the Dalton however, and this seemed to be a problem for travelers
looking to stay off the road, in something more comfortable than a tent!
Scott
recognized the need & decided to build the Boreal Lodge in 1998 in the
wooded area of our property, near the creek so folks could “get away from the
highway” and enjoy some peace & quiet with nice scenery. We have also tried to incorporate the
conveniences that will make for a comfortable & enjoyable stay. We operate
our own power plant and are able to provide power, running water, satellite TV,
phone, and all modern cooking facilities. We opened for business in 1999, and
have enjoyed hosting visitors from around the world since then.
