We had a very nice stay here. It was very peaceful and with greats views. I think my only suggestions for improvement are to provide more eco-friendly utensils in the cabins (instead of disposable plastic cutlery, plates and cups that are not recycled), and to provide more benches by the creek for more guests to enjoy.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Lodge room was large and very clean with a nice view. The staff was helpful, but the best part was the restaurant. We ate supper and breakfast there and liked it so much we drove back by there for lunch. Definitely recommend!

Very nice cabins. Claim to be 30 years old, but looked to be very recently remodeled. Very nice restaurant, with bakery, and store. Very good breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Cabins are definitely "creekside", except for two. Well away from hustle/bustle of the Denali park entrance area.

The location was perfect. A short drive to Denali. The cafe on site had excellent food and all of the staff were very friendly. Our waitress (from Mississippi) was great. We also walked over to the pizza place next door. We were in The Homestead and the front to back room, with a great view was updated, clean, and very spacious. We had a handwritten note and fresh baked cookies in our room when we first checked in. I would recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area and we will certainly book them again if we return.
