"We stayed four nights in June - about a month after the new owners began running the place. Everything went very smoothly. The cabins are basic - very comfortable, but nothing fancy (but good WiFi). If you can, book one with a front porch looking out toward the park - the views are fabulous. The adjoining coffee shop also has a front porch with a view to enjoy while taking in your morning brew and perhaps one of the tasty breakfast sandwiches. There is even a well-stocked library in a yurt!
Best of all is the location - four miles up a (paved) road from the highway, on the forest/tundra border, complete with critters (we saw several moose and lots of birds). It is completely removed from the madness, mega-resorts and schlock of Glitter Gulch near the Denali park entrance. But the town of Healy is about 10 minutes away and has a couple of good places to eat (Rose's Cafe and 49th State Brewing in particular) as well as groceries, gas, etc.
Only quibble is the need for more effective blackout curtains - with nearly 24-hour daylight in June, it was tough to get a good night's sleep.
All in all, we enjoyed our visit so much that we are planning to return as soon as possible after the park road is finally fully reopened."
