A nice stay

A beautiful location on the creek. The cabin had a queen bed and a single bed. It was small and would have been nice to have only one bed and a bigger counter space. Very compact. The bathroom was tiny but worked and was clean. Very friendly people

We were looking for an inexpensive place to stay which has a private bath and was near Denali. The lady at the office was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and has everything we needed. The bed wasn't very comfy, but that is a subjective thing. The walls between units were thin, so we turned on our white noise (phone) to sleep. They weren't loud, but we could easily hear them. Breakfast at the creekside restaurant was very good.

Nice little cabin but very pricey. Understandable in that it is Alaska, is a very short tourist season and is right by the National Park.
