Birch Creek Vacations from $883

We had 2 nights at Denali view which is owned and run by Dawn & James, we stopped as a break near Talkeetna on our way to Denali National Park. The cabin we stayed in was clean and warm with the first double bunk bed I have come across and was set in woodland close to the main lodge. The breakfast in the main lodge is first class, the best we’ve had in Alaska, Dawn the hoist makes her own sourdough bread, as well as making and baking other delicious breakfast items (I can personally recommend the cinnamon French toast), she is welcoming, helpful, super well informed regards close by restaurants, local amenities and things to do. We would definitely go back and wish them both all the best for taking their business into the future.

Teresa at the front desk was very prompt in handling issues. Wyatt of maintenance came to resolve an issue in less than five minutes after being called. Dining room staff was very efficient in cleaning tables during breakfast service. Outstanding.

Loved the property. Staff was very helpful.

The staff were helpful from the first Great breakfast + seating areas. Comfy beds Good pillows. I enjoyed the fresh coffee + hot water avail in the lobby

I thought I had secured a pet friendly room through Expedia, but apparently that was not the case. The front desk clerk gave me the option of keeping the room and letting my friend Jack sleep in my car, or take a cabin. I opted for the cabin because I know how to use an outhouse. However, there was no running water, no shower, etc. and not even a gallon of water was provided. There was face soap and make up remover packets provided, but no basin and the water in the little sink went directly into a 5 gallon bucket. I'm born and raised in Alaska so luckily, I traveled prepared with my own towel, water bottles, etc. so that wasn't a problem. I was able to access the hot springs and showers as part of my stay, but for being a resort, you'd think they'd spend a little money to make their cabins a little more pleasant. Poorly lit (two little lamps and I could only turn off one by unplugging it - broken) and the heater was super loud so I slept in a cabin at 66 degrees during the night. I went there for the hot springs, and that was nice but there were other guests in there who were loud and using the "f" word in every sentence and the facilities - since my last visit in 2022 (post Covid) have gone down in cleanliness. Next time, I'll just make a day visit and return to Fairbanks to stay.
