John, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

It is a lovely rustic family run resort. Its a beautiful setting amidst great tall pines alongside the small river. It gets you away from the Denali rush yet is close to everything. It is my 3rd stay there and will stay again if I return to Denali park.
Carla, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location and clean room
YINUSA, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The accomodation was good. Very close to the park. The big negative was that there was only 30 minutes of free wifi.

Excellent! Clean. The location on the river is PERFECT. The best part of Denali for us.
Stephenie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The river view from the cottage was beautiful. Lodge is old but well maintained. Thai Food truck on the property had some amazing vegetarian options. The staff were very nice and helpful. They also let us check in 1 hour early without any issues as our rooms were ready.
aastha, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in an upstairs room in unit B. Nice little balcony overlooking the river. Quiet. Nice breeze through the room if you open the front door. Food trucks were marginal. However, we had a car and there are plenty of other dining options in the region.
Patrick, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was cute, sweet, and to the point. Clean with a private bathroom. No AC but the sliding door let in plenty of breeze. Super close to Denali National Park. Staff was super friendly!
Emily, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was too hot and no fans
Sairam, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I had a wonderful stay. I booked this place to join the Denali Tundra Wilderness Tour, and everything exceeded my expectations. The room was clean, the view from the window was amazing, and the shower had great water pressure. The staff at the office were all kind and helpful. Thank you very much!
Nanako, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Check in took forever. Reception said that I booked through Expedia so I’m not in the system
Nazish, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

For the price of the property I was expecting something better. Everything was clean, but needs updates. No fridges were offered or available. Blow dryers in bathrooms did not work and the room had an awful smell. Room cleaning services were not available everyday of our stay. I emptied out our garbage and asked for clean linens when needed. Parking also was terrible. There was two food trucks on the property but nothing else besides and overpriced store. I wished we would have stayed somewhere else, especially for the price point.
Rebecca, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

Based on the description and pictures, I expected all rooms to be overlooking the river. Incorrect. 3 large buildings were overlooking the river, but several others were not. And of course our rooms did not. What made it worse is it looked like most of the rooms that did overlook the river were vacant.
Andreea, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Paid $140 for Wi-Fi for two phones over two days. Being stuck in the mountains with no reception, it’s frustrating to be charged so much—feels like you’re taking advantage of guests who are desperate just to get online and manage their affairs. On top of that, there’s no fridge to store anything, and the TV looks like it’s from 2001.
Amir, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Grizzly was a great stay, quiet, on the Nenana River and food and store on site.
