The location and setting were fantastic. A little bit rustic but room was clean and comfortable, grounds are great with several nice walking trails, and the lodge was a nice place to hang out.

Just a gorgeous property. We didn’t stay on the resort long, but what we saw was impressive. It isn’t necessary close to Denali town, but only a 90 minute drive. Restaurants were great on site. We would stay there again, just a beautiful property

The property is awesome, clean, with many amenities. Other than front desk staff activeness, and behavior, which felt like they are tired, multiple times whenever we visited.

This is a fantastic place. We were independent guests, not in a tour. The buildings and grounds are beautifully maintained. The room was excellent, as was the restaurant. We were fortunate to get an excellent view of Mt. Denali right from their grounds. All that, and quite reasonably priced.

Bar closes too early, being that resort is in a remote area and nothing nearby. Front desk staff is great. I would not stay here again, since everything closes down around 9:30
