Did not like that food opportunity was less. No wifi included. In today's times wifi in a property is important. Room did not have basic coffee amenities. Might be a good idea to add. Lovely location. Scenic n quiet. Would still recommend

Beware - stated amenities do not exist

Cabin was fine and location was close to Denali Park Road. Reason for low rating is the lack of stated amenities - there is no guest laundry, no cafe's (just food truck), market had very little in the store and the TV had 2-3 channels. While our focus was to visit the park, we had chose this resort based on the offerings in the resort - like laundry and a cafe for breakfast (esp since the rooms lack a small fridge or microwave). Quite disappointed - and feel the owners need to update the site and be clear that the resort has no amenities to offer.

There was a gunshot in the room next to ours. The bullet went through our wall in the washroom and lodged into the opposite wall. The staff had no idea and only found out about it when we reported it in the morning.

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.

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!
