This was one of the best places we stayed on our Alaska trip. Three beds, clean roomy bath, and a kitchen! We arrived late and Tammy left our key and internet instructions. It was just a very nice place and just 15 mins to Denali National Park. The price was very reasonable.

Great location, very clean and the man on checkin was lovely. Not good if you’re a light sleeper, I would stay in a cabin if I returned. I could hear everything in the room next door, walls must be paper thin. I could hear their conversation clearly, the toilet flushing sounded like it was in my bathroom and I was woken a few times with the snoring

This is an excellent place to hang your hat for a night or two. Conveniently located to Denali, the Denali Highway and Cantwell, it's a clean quiet place (I had RM9, not a cabin) with a beautiful mountain view behind the cabins. I was greeted by Dan, the manager, a friendly and knowledgeable man who recommended the little sandwich shop for breakfast (on the property) and the pizza place across the street (fantastic pizza). The room had everything I needed - a microwave, fridge and a coffee pot. It was chilly when I was there but the heat worked fine. I was travelling solo and felt safe staying there. My only negative is that the blackout curtains could've been a little heavier - the sun is a crazy distraction!

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
