Not far from town. Very secluded which is super nice. Lodge is a real log cabin. Very roomy and we were able to wash laundry here too.

A Marvelous Moose!

We weren't quite sure what to expect as we traveled the dirt road away from the main town but wow, what a great place! Our room was HUGE and we had the lobby and kitchen below us to use as well. So quiet at night too. And just a quick drive into town. We all gave it big thumbs up!

A Great Value

We stayed in the main lodge which featured a spacious, well-appointed, homey common area. Our room was terrific with super comfortable bed and private deck. Stacy, our host, was generous and accommodating. Wish we had all ten nights in Alaska here instead of just one on the way to Denali.

Make sure you know what you are booking. This property is way off the beaten path down a dirt road with no cell service. They have a small lodge and a few cabins. Every room is different. Our cabin ended up being dry, which I did not realize when booking. We had a private bathroom, but it was in a different building. The cabin was nice, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was inconvenient and could have been cleaner. The owners were very pleasant.

We stayed in the main lodge and had plenty of space for our family of 4 and a lot more privacy than in the larger hotels. The room was comfortable and the host very friendly.

We loved this place and our room was great. It had dark curtains, which was so convenient for sleeping when the sun rises so early in the summer. Our room in the lodge was a sliding door away from the very nice shared kitchen with two big refrigerators for storing guest’s food. Very well equipped. We also received some great help from Stacey, the owner/ manager.

It is the best cabin Lodge we’ve ever stayed. The host welcomed to us at the gate. It’s a huge botanical garden with beautiful flowers. Cabins are scattered individually in different styles, so quiet in peaceful. I would like to stay more days if I had not booked next hotel.

Don't let the road in scare you away!

Very nice suite accommodations. Traveling with 2 teenagers. Very nice common area. Road in seems very remote, but once you get there it is beautiful.

Cozy Night

Peter checked us in and we had a pleasant conversation. Loved the regular refrigerator! A nice table and chairs in the kitchen too. We used the heater and it quickly got us cozy. The bed was comfortable and we had a quiet nights rest.
