This is a great location as it was only 15 minutes drive south of Denali National Park visitor center. We love the cabin. It was spacious and clean. We can see mountains from our beds. There’s a creek just by the cabin. I am glad that I make the right choice while selecting where to stay.

Nice place. Do not expect any flexibility in check in, they made everyone wait until exactly 4pm to start the process. So at this point there was a line of people waiting. The rooms were clearly ready as they had the room keys and info packets sitting on the desk behind them. Just an annoying way to start. Otherwise nice place. Stayed in the newer lodge rooms which were very sizable rooms.

Lovely little cabin close to Denali but removed enough to avoid traffic and excessive people. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Coffee was excellent. The river that goes through the property was beautiful and we had a stunning view of the mountains from our porch. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
