Electronic Self Check-in
The Arctic Divide is a self check-in accommodation. We do not have a front desk or staff to help you book on site. You will a receive a door code to access your room 72 hours before your stay. Be aware that the lodge rooms are accessed via a central rustic log stairwell, which can make carrying large luggage challenging. Those with accessibility issues should reserve the motel rooms or accessibility room on lodge ground floor. We do not offer room changes after check-in.
-
Parking
We have plentiful parking in our parking lot. Our parking lot is also pull-through which allows trailers to park without backing up. You may park along the island next to the road sign if you have a trailer.
Our parking lot is also monitored 24/7 by recorded security cameras.
-
Pets
We are not pet-friendly. Service dogs with registered paperwork are permitted with advance notice (more than 72 hours). If an animal checks in without being registered in advance, even if it is a service animal, you will be subject to a $250.00 fee.
Your self-check in form will have a declaration for service dog accommodation or leave a note in your booking request box.
-
Smoking/vaping/marijuana
No smoking/vaping or marijuana use is permitted except in designated areas. There are two designated areas (south deck upstairs in lodge or south side of motel). Both locations are marked. Our property is monitored by security cameras and smoking fees will be charged if you are smoking outside these designated areas. Please note: Smoking on decks is ALSO not permitted.

Even on the hottest days, the temperature usually drops to 8C/46F.
