Nice cozy rustic stay with the creek flowing right in front of the cabin. The room is nice and cozy with 2 adult beds and one small kid bed. The bathhouse is separate from cabin but is clean. The only thing missing in bathhouses is the bath rug mat. It gets all wet and difficult to wear clothes in the changing area attached to bathroom. The door opens only with keys from outside. We dint know it and had to run to the office to get other key which is little far from the cabins on a hill.

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.

The property owner was helpful and provided some local information, communication was A1. The location is about 20 minutes south of Denali park- which was excellent- Now for the not so good. The mattress in our cabin was worn out, sagged in the middle- we travel a fair amount and it has been awhile since we have experienced this degree of sag. It is a cute concept,with a loft- just needs some TLC-the lock on the door, could be improved as people roam about at night- we were awoken at 4 in am by dudes whooping it up- (no concerns with 4 legged wild life-) the price was similar to others in area- Location is important and price should also reflect amenities- such as comfort and security. Addressing these would make a difference.

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.

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.
