Wonderful stay with friendly, happy staff, delicious food and drinks. Beautiful location. Walking paths to the river and through the woods were fantastic. Ate at the restaurant most meals and we were able to sit at the bar for a drink. The room was fantastic, more like a cabin than a hotel room. The view from our balcony was beautiful. We will stay here whenever we are in the area.

These rooms are essentially little cabins with fireplaces- and terraces! The restaurant is beautiful and the onsite hikes to the river are absolutely gorgeous. The little coffee ‘shop’ staff are a gem. This was a one night stop for us on a road trip but we were so glad we stayed!

Our room was very clean, and I enjoyed that the sink and mirror for the bathroom was separate from the shower area. This setup was helpful because while my family was showering, I could be finishing up getting ready at the same time. The staff was very kind and helpful. Our dinner was delicious, probably the best food we’ve had during the 17 days of our vacation!

Such a cozy and romantic atmosphere. We built a fire with help from staff who had everything for us. Dinner was fabulous and reasonably priced for the area. Best scallops I’ve ever had! Our server was very friendly and informative. We were celebrating the anniversary of our first trip together 8 years ago. We will be back!

The cabin is on the rustic side with older tub and shower but clean and plenty of hot water. Very comfortable bed. Very roomy sitting area with sofa and a small table and chairs. There’s also a patio. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We had a great meal in the dining room and the coffee at the expresso bar was excellent.

We had a great stay overall. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location and amenities made for an enjoyable experience. One suggestion would be to add a playground for children, which would make the property even more family-friendly. It would also be great to see the hot tub brought back, as that would be a wonderful amenity for guests to relax and enjoy after a day of exploring Alaska. Overall, a very positive experience, and we would gladly stay here again.
