Great stay
Amazing stay with a great cafe on grounds. Creek flowing by beautiful area all around. Staff for cabins and cafe were top notch! Drive to Denali park about 10 miles - our cabin was an individual so privacy was perfect. We loved our stay here!

The only issue was the wait staff in the cafe wasn’t very friendly. We ate there 3 times, had a different waitress each time and none of them were very pleasant.

What a wonderful place to stay. Quiet, scenic, restaurant on site was good and reasonable, staff very friendly and helpful! Nice areas to walk around, family games, creek & Mountain View. No TV, internet, phone service or radio so you can enjoy the beauty of nature with no interruptions. Spacious porch with table and chairs to enjoy outside I would plan my next trip around their availability. There was a fire at Denali that shut down the neighboring town so they were quite busy but handled it very well.

It was peace on earth. The cabins were well stocked with necessities, plus no TV and we had poor cell phone reception- totally checked out of the rest of the world Evenings spent sitting along a fast flowing creek, sipping wine and talking (OMG!) There is a good resturant on site and bakery is incredible- salted carmel cinnamon rolls! Perfect location for exploring Denali area.
