It would be nice to have more things to do around the property without the need to drive or book tours etc…. A nice little walk up the stream /trail would be nice ,the 2ft stretch doesn’t really pass for a walk 😁

We loved the restaurant on the property. It was the highlight of our stay in the area. We ate breakfast here all of the mornings we were there and dinner one time. Everything was yummy. The cabin we stayed in seemed like it needed updating...especially after we visited our other family members who were staying in one of the lodge rooms. We were paying more money for the cabin, but theirs was much nicer. Their bathroom was normal size ( ours was tiny and smelled like urine), they had a tv (we did not), everything just seemed more clean and updated in their room. The staff was very nice and helpful. It was a good location, close to the park.

Wonderful property,excellent room with everything you need. Front desk manager's care and concern for guest's satisfaction is beyond exemplary. She made sure my 85yr. old Mother was on the 1st. floor(no steps) This hotel will always be my first choice when in Denali. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
