Nice property better restaurant variety would be better.
CD, 2-night trip

8/10 Very 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.

I love this place!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Grizzly Bear Resort. I loved the room and the river view. Also, the food trucks on the property were very good. The resort is close to trails in Denali National Park.

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

4/10 Fair

Beware - stated amenities do not exist

Cabin was fine and location was close to Denali Park Road. Reason for low rating is the lack of stated amenities - there is no guest laundry, no cafe's (just food truck), market had very little in the store and the TV had 2-3 channels. While our focus was to visit the park, we had chose this resort based on the offerings in the resort - like laundry and a cafe for breakfast (esp since the rooms lack a small fridge or microwave). Quite disappointed - and feel the owners need to update the site and be clear that the resort has no amenities to offer.
Tammy, 4-night trip

8/10 Very 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.

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!

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

8/10 Very good

Great room. No elevator or baggage waiter, so you have to tote your bags up the stairs if you happen to be on the second floor. Train whistle was a little loud as it came thru during the night. Other than that, overall stay was good for a last minute booking.

Check in took forever. Reception said that I booked through Expedia so I’m not in the system
