Haven’t visited for 20 years, but still a charming delight. Our restaurant on at Moose Lodge, spacious and quiet for three. Soaking in hot springs always a gentle, relaxing pleasure. Dinner, far too much food, especially the huge salad with dinner. Interesting use of geothermal energy to provide power for several buildings on the premises. Fun to see resident goats. Shall return.

It's a very unique property. The building we slept in had a loose lock and needed updated, but the hot spring was fantastic. Not sure why my 15 1/2 year old daughter wasn't allowed in the hot springs with us though. Before we left we considered booking another night, but we had plans to meet-up with friends in Anchorage, so we didn't.

The only reason that I didn't give it zero stars was that the food was wonderful and delicious and the front desk staff and restaurant staff provided great customer service. I would avoid going to this area. It's a day trip for locals and didn't seem like a lot of people stayed overnight. Ice museum was not worth the tour. The hot springs didn't smell clean (not the sulfur from the springs). We stayed in one of the off buildings, which was outdated. The shower was either scalding or freezing. The room was OK clean. TV didn't work. The staff was great but the buildings need a complete overhaul.

I gave it 4’s because it’s a little rustic. A lot of cool things to do and see. Worthwhile to stop in for a couple of days if you are in the area.

The only restaurant is at the resort. If you don't get seating early for dinner you will have to wait for a while. The host was not very freindly.

Not so bed

One thing i like about this resort is they have good choices of food and good service. Rooms are very small and noisy, hot spring pool was bit too hot but comfortable. Service at hot pool was poor. For first time user of this pool make sure you put all your belongings in to the locker before you close it this they will not explain it to you. Ice museum is good to experience.
