It’s off the beaten path. Beautiful area about 1.5 hours north of Denali and 30 minutes south of Fairbanks. Really pretty and quaint. Nice common area. Breakfast offerings are the usual fair. But there are stoves and microwaves for cooking.

The breakfast was fine but never saw the owner/Staff and had to try to figure out how to make coffee because it had run out and they didn't seem to check on anything after they set up for the morning. I finally did figure it out but with no instructions. Need to check on their supplies and stock of food for breakfast.

The Northern Sky Lodge has basic lodging that met our needs during a loop driving tour of central AK. The room and property are clean. The common breakfast area and offerings were fine. Please put up a sign on or next to your mailbox on AK3, as we missed the turn when we arrived as the driveway is somewhat hidden when heading south.

Comfortable woodland retreat

It was cozy and comfortable. There was plenty of space to spread out. Common ateas were large and nicely appointed. Shared full refrigerator available for use. Bed was comfortable with luxurious sheets. Would be great for a family reunion or group retreat. Beautiful outdoor spaces. Would definitely stay here again.
