Nice clean cabin with comfortable beds. Hot tub was a nice addition. The heat was a little low. We had a pleasant visit overall.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The accommodations were fine. The cabins are on a hill and you must climb a very steep hill each time you want to go anywhere. The shuttle was a great amenity.

This hotel is still working on upgrading the cabins and we were in an older cabin, and many of the items were in need of an upgrade or just did not work at all. There was an issue with the water on our last day. I will say the staff was very courteous and accommodating when we had issues, but I would’ve appreciated paying less if I’ve known I was gonna be more like roughing it.

Free shuttle service to/from Denali National Park railroad stop. Cozy cabin, ice chest outside for drinks with gratis ice available in reception. Tasty 49th State beer for sale.
Clean sheets and towels, carpet well used.
nice dark out shades, TV mounted, but didn't turn it on. Shower no tub. Lots of steps to climb, but close to other nearby food and shops. The Overlook is excellent place to dine $$. Jan was attentive server. Only a couple miles to Denali National Park via pathways. Bonus bicycles on site that a member of our party was able to ride. Responsive staff, but also a lot going on at registration when we stayed.

At check in the girl couldn’t answer any of my questions and she was way too focused on pushing wine on me.
Also didn’t like having to walk up the steep hill carrying my luggage. No golf cart or anyone around to help me.
4.0
The road up to the lodging was is disastrous and too steep. Road was poor condition with loose soil and big loose soil bumps. Stairs were dangerous, room was dark.
4.0
There was zero maid sevice. The bed had plastic sheeting on it that crinkled when you slept, leading to terrible sleep. The manager said they inspected the maids work when we first arrived the toilet looked like it had not been cleaned in a month. Nowhere is it noted that you have to climb a mountain to get to your room

When we checked in we asked if we would be able to leave our luggage with the front desk or bellhop since check out was at 11:00 and our train didn't leave until 4:00. First we were told it was fine then the "manager" came over and said it would be $10 to hold the bags and then she changed it to $10/bag. We told her absolutely not and started to walk out and then she yelled to come back and this one time she would wave the fee. It just seemed as though she profiled us to see if should could get extra money from us. The bathroom was not clean and looked like the corners had not been cleaned in a long time. The shower had mold in it. The whole hotel seems to be sliding down the hill. In the room you can tell that there is a large downward slope and it's really weird.
You have to walk up a "hill" in the room. I dropped a small round container on the floor and I couldn't believe how fast it rolled all the way to the door and it hit hard.
Also, keep in mind that this hotel is on a large hill and is nearly impossible to walk from the hotel to the "boardwalk" so you have to wait on the shuttle which only makes trips once per hour even though it's literally only a 2 min drive. Personally I wouldn't recommend this hotel and would stay somewhere else next time.

We chose the cabins in lieu of a hotel and the location and staff were terrific. We were just up the hill from the shops and food "walkway" so we ventured out whenever we wanted. I would have liked a roomier and updated bathroom as it was very tiny and there were quite a few insects and spiders.
4.0
While there are not a ton of choices in and around Denali, the place was satisfactory, but very expensive.

internet was spotty but overall a great stay
4.0
it's a crappy little hole in the wall with no amenities and poor service. we got there at 5 pm and the rooms were not clean. there is a plastic cover on the bed under the top sheet, I guess in case we pee the bed, really not comfortable. These people get away with this crap cause they make out like its a comfy little cabin in the woods when in reality its a poorly built shack, one on top of the next. NOT recommended.
4.0
Convenient transportation from hotel to train station. The hotel is about 800 feet up a steep hill from the main road. You need to be in shape to climb to/from the main road to the hotel.

The place was great- the restaurant was amazing! The only issue we had was no wifi-which is not too big of a deal but we like to listen to the news when we get ready for bed and we couldn't get the tv, phone or laptop to have enough signal to watch the news. But it was not really a big deal!
4.0
Unusual to have no housekeeping for four days but whatever we needed er got immediately from the staff at site.
As the hotel wasn’t still fully booked it was very calm and comfortable for us. Our room in the ‚fifth floor‘ had an amazing view to the mountains. If we will ever come back to Denali we will stay here again.

Expedia and Denali Crow’s Nest Cabins management were able to pas the buck back and forth, continually leading me to believe that I would be getting a refund for a visit that I had to cancel, for FIVE months. The inhospitable policy of no refund after booking, even if the cancellation is five months in advance is so shockingly rigid that I let myself be strung along by the two management teams instead of working with my credit card company to cancel payment. Now I have unwillingly made a “donation” of over $1200 to the Denali Crow’s Nest Cabins. I hope it helps their business and their employees.

I have requested for a refund for our stay, as we had a couple problems during the stay. Firstly, on multiple occasions during our stay, hot water didn’t work. To the extent that we had to switch our rooms. Also, in the morning of last day of our stay, there was no water for many hours due to a pipe burst in their facility. And lastly, on multiple occasions, we had asked for cleaning the rooms (clean the trash , and change the towels) but they just forgot to do so.
4.0
The property is in definite need of some repairs. Was a fine stay for a couple nights but expected more for the price. Paying for the convenience of a couple minute drive to the park entrance
4.0
I’m glad I had only booked a one night stay here. It was adequate for a single night, but I would not recommend to a friend. Rooms are dated, and the whole cabin was more rustic than pictured in photographs. The bathroom was small and the only toiletry provided was a single bar of soap.
We booked a king bed with pull out sofa and there was a problem with the sofa so they were going to put a roll out bed in the room and we said fine. Then he switched us to a room he said was a Queen and double bed, and we said fine. When we got to the room it was 2 doubles.

The property and cabins are ok nothing special. Had a problem with my Expedia reservations on the properties end and it took a day to resolve it and was offered breakfast to make up for the inconvenience. When arriving after difficulty finding it the clerk stated that breakfast would be $18.00 each and that their restaurant was closed and there would be boxed breakfast in the lobby. The $18.00 breakfast was 2 mini muffins, an apple, small yogurt and granola bar not hardly worth $18.00. Very disappointing across the board.

Nice spot overall.

Exceeded my expectations! The cabins were adorable with lots of privacy, clean rooms, comfortable beds and amazing views! The management and staff were excellent and went above and beyond! They booked my excursions, helped with luggage transport, shuttled us to and from the train station, provided coffees and waters in the rooms, happy hour in the evening and recommended local restaurants. Looking forward to returning next summer and extending my stay!

The view wss amazing! Room was clean, bed comfortable. The many steps to our room was too much for us, but they were gracious enough to pick us up from the parking lot in a golf cart. Very kind staff.
4.0
Fun to stay in our own cabin. Few hiccups with the plumbing since its the end of the season but we got hang of it. Short walk down to the boardwalk where restaurants/shops are. Easy van into park. We came from thevtrain and they were waiting for us. No need for a car. Front desk was very helpful with tips on park
4.0
Charming! Lots of flowers and landscaping around the whole property. Wonderful restaurant, easy walk to the local 'boardwalk' of shops and eating places and easy drive to Denali NP. Very helpful and friendly staff. But it is on a hill. Lots of stairs and walking. Do not recommend for travelers with disabilities.

We were on our honeymoon and it was perfect. We loved our room and how cute it was, we had amazing views, and it was a great location in Denali Village.

Totes adorbs little cabin. Fantastic view, and unbelievably great restaurant onsite. My only complaint, if you can call it that, was the price, which seemed pretty high for the size/appointments

Cabin was great!
4.0
Initially, the place is remote and very ordinary. The cabins are VERY basic, they only provide a small piece of soap unless you ask; our front window was broken (both the glass and handle); nails were sticking out of the bathroom wood; and you need a ride to get up hill to the room. Too remote and sparse for our taste.
4.0
Parking lot was used by restaurant patrons so you had to wait for the restaurant to close to find parking. Our cabin's heater did not work and only one extra blanket. It was cold. To get to the little cabin you had to travel numerous stairs so not senior or handicap friendly. Jacuzzi and sauna were not working.
