The location is great, very close to the park. The cabin is a lot smaller than the pics. Heaters in every room including the bathroom which was nice.

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

The property itself was ok, but it didn’t have any kitchen and there was not any option besides one restaurant and one pizza bar. No grocery stores near by.

The room was minimalist at best. Limited if any maid service. Room smelled of cigarette smoke the second day we were there. Spent as little time as possible during our stay.

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.
