The cabin was cozy and adorable.

There was no breakfast. Location was excellent for entering Denali the next morning.Never saw a single staff member, key left in envelope tacked to door.
Room was full of mosquitoes and hot, but afraid to take sheet off because of being bitten. Second bed was up in a loft, accessed by a ladder, unable to climb. Internet connection was not available. Coffee maker only spit out hot water. Bed was cheap and uncomfortable.

No tail on the steps.

The cabin was nice and cozy.
The bed downstairs was very noisy

This is a great location for visiting Denali. Beds were comfy. The separate bath house looked newly remodeled, so that would be a nice plus for the cabins that do not have their own private bathroom.
The owner/desk clerk was not at all friendly and even a bit rude. We stayed in a duplex, so we had a private bathroom. Unfortunately, the place was generally dusty. In fact small granules of dirt and grime on the table and brochures on the table. There was only a window air conditioner which may have been okay for cooling IF they had turned it on before our arrival. There are limited electrical outlets. In fact, they used a power strip to plug in the refrigerator and microwave which blocked part of the use of the sink. They also need room darkening shades…, July in Alaska.

Close to Denali National Park locataion
Room was very small compared to the price charged. One bed was a bunker bed with a step ladder that is very inconvenient for Sr. citizens to climb. Bathroom with toilet and shower was too small.

great location and beautiful little cabins

We were only there one night, and had to book last minute because of a nightmare situation at the place we'd originally booked. However, even though it was last minute, there were no issues or problems. It was the end of the tourist season, so we checked in at the restaurant on the property, but they gave us good directions and we found our cabin no problem. It was as you'd imagine inside: everything you need, not much that you don't. We were mostly just happy that we'd found a place to stay that had room for four adults (the place we had to vacate said there was beds for 4 adults, but only have 3, and was so tiny there wasn't even room to sleep on the floor). The property itself seemed quite pretty and interesting and we would have explored if we'd had time. all in all a great place!

location

Well located to explore Denali National park. Restaurants nearby. Owner very accomodating.
Small cabin, full bed on main and single in loft. Tiny bathroom.
3.9
Woodsy setting by creek with easy highway access. Walk to nice bakery-cafe and pizza shop. Close to the National Park.
Bed was too small for 2 large adults and there was barely any space on the side of the bed (one side only, about 16"). I slept in loft requiring difficult ladder. It was filthy (eg. 50 dead bugs on window sill). No blackout curtains! Super noisy light on the tiny bathroom. Whole place was uncomfortable. No desk, chair or table. Overpriced for what you get.
3.9
Nice setting. Close to good restaurant and pizza place.
Owner was very rude when we informed them the heater in our cabin wasn’t working. Even though she did handle correctly (sent the maintenance guy and comped us one night) What would have been much more appreciated is a good attitude. Realize this is a tough business especially for a family run operation, and I hope that this message provides some awareness to the owners that it’s not just about money sometimes. A warm smile and friendly attitude would have gone much farther in this case.
Staff that works there were friendly and accommodating.

the food was great!!

Close to a creek in the trees; walk to McKensie ck. Cafe; not too far to drive to the Park.
Very small, cramped space. Too small bed for 2 large adults. Loft twin mattress very uncomfortable (ceiling is inches from face with no space to roll over. No blackout curtain so hard to sleep. Super dirty with dozens of dead bugs on sill next to bed). Bathroom light makes a super loud noise. Temperature seemed impossible to control (heat came on even when at 65-degrees or off). Shower had hot water but was so tiny. Didn't find any trails to walk there other than short trail to cabin. For over $200/night it was extremely lacking in comfort or amenities.
3.9
The sound of the creek near by. The room was very clean.
That the twin bed was in a loft. The ladder is straight up. When I booked it did not say loft.
3.9
Good location - close to the park, quiet and there is also a nice restaurant nearby (McKinley Creekside Cafe), that is good for breakfasts, dinners and lunches to-go.
Wifi is great - probably the best we had during our trip.
3.9
There was no breakfast.
The ladder to the loft was impossible for adults. The bed was way too soft. The restaurant at the facility was not open. I did not appreciate the lecture from the check-in clerk about using a third to book.

Location and view from our cabin was amazing! Cabin was very clean.

Friendly. Not a 5star hotel but that is not what you look for in a place like this one. It was fun. Good people friendly staff. Pizza at panorama was good.
Parking could have been better but we made do.

Beautiful, cozy cabins. Amazingly comfortable bed sheets! Really good price and value for a nice place to stay near Denali.
Nothing to complain about here! Maybe hard to get to if you don't have a rental car?
