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

Perfect little weekend getaway. I was not staying as part of a cruise, but the cruise vibe made the stay feel so much more relaxing. I was still welcomed with a smile and the staff at the property were super friendly. The food was decent, a bit on the pricier side, but understandable given the location. The rooms were a bit dated but still comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d likely go back if I was headed back up north.
