Nice wooden lodge. View of river out the back window. The whole property is kind of a hodgepodge of cabins, camping sites, and a large wooden lodge. Not bad though. Very close to the entrance of Denali National Park.

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.

Not bad at all. Reason I gave it 2 stars was lack of hot water on my second day. Explained this to staff at check in desk and they didn't even acknowledge the problem So 2 stars.

Had called to upgrade to cabin. Cabin cost was over $2400 for three nights. Cabin was extremely unhygienic with old furniture, dark and dingy, and very poor beck room with green film on washbasin. We moved to single room as that was better. Property did not adjust price even though the cabin was inhabitable!

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.
