A very average cabins. Survived for a night and rushed out in the morning. The area around the cabins should be cleaned well.

The cabin decir and proximity to the park .

The cabin was decent, comfy bed, clean towels, toiletries, hairdryer, fridge, it had served its purpose for one night. The heater in our cabin is not strong enough to warm the whole place, we put on extra layers and it worked. The parking spot first come, first served, no lines, you just kinda have to make your own parking.
However, I had a disappointing experience with the customer service provided by Leslie on the phone at around 8pm. When I called the front desk to confirm their hours, Leslie informed me they were open until 9 PM. So, I mentioned we would be arriving later than that, and while she provided instructions, the call quality became poor for a bit and I couldn't hear her clearly. So, I politely asked her if she could repeat half of the information, but she responded with noticeable irritation and raised her voice. When I followed up with a question about the location of the keys, her frustration was evident, and she almost yelled. This level of rudeness is unacceptable and reflects badly on the hotel's customer service.

Late check-in with no one to check me in. Just found keys left on the office door. No map to help locate my
unit.

Misleading name for the property. It is not a resort and dining in the area is limited. I do not recommend this property.

Charming property by the river.

This was a bunch of miniature cabins piled closely to each other. It did not look like the marketing on the internet. My bed was very badly broken that we kept falling into a hole in the middle. Much better options in the area, especially for the price.

Beautiful and serene

Very friendly at check in. Cabins right on the river. They are rustic though. No bathrooms or running water in the cabins. No tv or phones but internet works great. Very quiet. One of the better pizzas I’ve ever had at the restaurant. But they don’t open till 5pm.

Very quaint!

We stayed in Cabin 5, which has two double beds. The cabin was very clean. We initially thought 'rustic' meant no power outlets, but it had a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee machine. The heater worked well too. The cabin stands beautifully in the woods, surrounded by natural grass, with walkways made of pebbles. It felt like the cabins were designed by an architect.
We used the shared wash house, which was clean and mostly empty. The shower water was inconsistent but tolerable.

Super hot water. Really tiny cabin. Heater worked well. It was ok for the value compared to surrounding area.

We left the hotel after one night stay.
The owner over charged me for the three nights while we had made a deposit of one night at the time of reservation.

The cabin is very quaint and cozy. The bed was a little too soft and the bathroom fan sounded like a freight train! Otherwise we really enjoyed our time there.
5.0
Our primitive cabin was right next to the running river which lolled us to sleep. Beautiful views!

As advertised, clean room near a creek. The ‘group bathroom/showers were individual rooms, space was tight.

My sister and I enjoyed our stay in one of the adorable cabins at Denali Perch Resort. The cabin and shower room were clean and cozy. Location was awesome, very close to Denali and a delicious pizza restaurant right next door.

No key was left for after hour check in. Have no idea about the facilities because we weren’t able to contact the emergency number. Expedia even had trouble getting a hold of them. After an hour of waiting, we took off North to find lodging and they called 1/2 hour later. Beware if you are checking in late. Also, address took us 4 miles North of their location so get clear directions to their office.

Restroom is far away.

It felt like it was in the wild-more than it was. Loved the noise of the creek!
5.0
Loved the close proximity to two excellent restaurants in the park even though it’s far away from Main Street Denali. Could open the cabin window and listen to the creek behind. The guest next door were loud but left for a late dinner so we had quiet most of the night. Very cute set up and clean accommodations.

Had a great time. Comfortable stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Denali Perch resort. The rustic cabin was perfect for 2 adults. Cozy and quiet which is what we were looking for. It was about a 15 minute drive to Denali National Park. We liked being able to walk to Panorama Pizza for dinner-awesome pizza. The only downfall for us was not being told that the shower either runs scalding hot or ice cold! If I had children there, I would not have let them use the shower! I read reviews and it seems like this is an issue that has not been addressed by management.
4.0
The views from the front door of our cabin were amazing. The dry cabins made it feel like camping but with a locking door and a bed!
5.0
Everything was great except the do need a new mattress in our cabin. Everythng goes towards the center. We advised the management so hopefully this is a moot point.
5.0
This was the best stay of our trip. The owners are kind and compassionate. The property is beautiful and well maintained. Cottage was quaint, comfortable and very clean. Location convenient to the State park and other attractions. I would definitely revisit this resort.

Very nice place to stay. I would do it again.
5.0
Wonderful stay 15min drive away from Denali national park! We stayed at a dry cabin, so had shared bathroom and shower facility, which were in great condition and very clean and stocked. I barely even ran into anyone at the bathroom. The cabin itself was right by the creek and so incredibly charming! There is a nice pizza pub on premises, which was incredibly handy for dinner, after a full day of being outdoors and hiking. Great option for when you are not willing to bring your camping gear all the way to Alaska, but still want a bit of an outdoorsy stay (because of the shared bathrooms) that will however provide you with clean sheets and towels.
5.0
Good location, about 13 miles from Denali park entrance, this property also enjoys great dining options located at walking distance.

The owners have 20 cabins in a few locations just off the highway. It was easy to check in that cabin we stayed in was cute and clean. And comfortable. Would stay here again and recommend it. very nice to have the two restaurants right next-door.

Stayed in a one room cabin on the river! It was perfect. Senior travelers checking out Alaska!
2.0
A beautiful location with a large cabin. Bathrooms were like those at a campground; outside and down the path a ways. The cabin was clean and spacious. Some of the outside lights did not come on with motion detectors as they should making the bathroom walk quite dark in places.
3.0
Good place to stay but definitely needs to be updated.

this is a little cabin in the wood very cute but you have to like nature
