It was a wonderful couple nights and I highly recommend this lodge.

The location of this room was amazing. Trees and nature surround the lodge. It's also a quick drive to Denali National Park. The room was spacious with a quirky layout, but it worked. We had everything that we needed.

Great place to stay, clean and roomy.

8.0

Great location near Denali Park and Denali Highway. Clean and roomy, comfortable bed. This is not fancy but nice and well cared for. Make sure to bring your own food, not close to restaurants but there’s a fridge, microwave, utensils/plates, bowls, etc. making it easy to prep food.

This was a great stop near Denali and on the way toward southern Alaska.

10.0

Charming lodge in the woods, peaceful, spotless, well appointed. Owners clearly thought of everything a guest might need during their stay.

We liked every part of the stay here.

This is a clean, comfortable, affordable-for-Alaska place to stay for visiting Denali National Park.

10.0

It was clean and comfortable and far from the madding crowds of tourists farther north closer to Denali NP.

There were not many dining options nearby.
