When arriving we thought it would be a bad stay, but the hostess was very nice and the rooms were very clean and updated. A good breakfast was served the following morning. The outside could us some clean up, but like I stated the rooms we had were very nice.

Pleasantly surprised
The lodge is a small building, with just a handful of rooms, and a restaurant that has gone out of business. I also think the lodging is going out of business too, which is a disappointment. It looked almost abandoned from the outside, but once inside the room, it is pleasantly well maintained and comfortable. We stayed in room #1 and it had an exterior entrance, plenty of room to spread out, and then had access to an interior hall way and a well-stocked to food area for breakfast.

The cabin is very basic. It's connected to other rooms but does have its own bathroom. It's small and doesn't have much but if you only need a place to sleep, it's a good option. The bar is connected to the rooms on the inside and you can eat there but food was pretty expensive and not very good. They even had great value ketchup in the tables - it turned to mush once you put it on your burger. Conveniently located to Denali though - about 35 min away. Beds were comfortable and shower was clean so that was great.

Staff personable. Nice continental breakfast. Rooms are clean. Beds are comfortable. Especially like the 2 doors.1 goes directly to the parking lot. 2nd one went directly to the breakfast area. What i didn't like: there was no key drop off box. Several other renters had the same problem. We all de ided to lock the keys in the rental unit since the contact numbers weren't answering. A message was left.

Everything about this place was great. The big surprise was the breakfast buffet. Extensive selection of cold food items. Very close to Denali. Cynthia was a great hostess.

Great place as long as you're not looking for upscale. Friendly folks, reasonably price food and drink. Just caught the start of high season so had all we needed. Would highly recommend for the not-so-picky travelers.

Lovely place just 30 minutes from Denali. Large, clean rooms and the attached bar is great fun. The property manager, Cynthia is super attentive and really great. Definitely where I’ll be staying next time I’m back up in these parts.
