Would give ten stars if possible

We could not have asked for any better place to stay for our trip to Denali. It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the other lodging places at the Park road. The lodging, food and service was way beyond expectations.

Visit to Danali

Great location. Everyone greeted us with a smile. Cabin was perfect. Dinner was delicious at their on site restaurant.
Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cabins are beautifully done, spacious, clean and they each have their own small deck - with privacy. They serve an amazing breakfast (you pay for it, of course), but the ambience and the flowers all around the property are amazing.

Good stay with great views, love the homelike amenities like big bottles of lotions, shampoo etc. and thoughtful arrangement of utilities like fridge, microwave, plates and silverware in the room. We would stay here again, the cafe is a good option for fresh purchase breakfast.

The creekside views can’t be beat!

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The cabin was clean and had a beautiful view. It was so nice to sleep with the window open and hear the creek at night. We had dinner twice and breakfast at the cafe. All of it was delicious. One of the best pot pies I have ever had. The bakery items were so good, I had to keep going back for more each day.

Everyone in our group (4 of us) found the place to be excellent. The room and bathroom were big and clean. Everything worked as expected. The restaurant was good though food choice was a bit limited for vegetarians. Overall, a great place to stay in Denali.
