Wonderful property with a large deck for viewing Denali! The restaurants were excellent. The rustic/lodge room decor was perfect for the setting. Rooms were clean. I highly recommend!

This property was AMAZING! I have no idea why anyone would rate it less than 5 stars.
This hotel was in Denali State Park, not Denali National Park. From this Lodge we were able to see Denali and all of it's glory. I was told that it was pretty rare to see Denali without clouds covering it, so we were super excited. All around GREAT stay!

The hotel is nice but be aware there is no refrigerator in the room which is annoying. The hotel is about two hours from Denali National Park Entrance and one hour from Talkeetna. The views of the mountain are great on a clear day.

It is a beautiful property. The only complaint is there is no parking close to the buildings. I have a disability and I had to park my car down the road in a parking lot. However, there is a shuttle bus to take guests from the lodges to the main building where restaurants are.
