I loved the big clean rooms and comfortable beds especially after 2 days of backcountry hiking in Denali National Park, Each unit is divided into quiet mini compounds giving you a serene view of the Nanana River and Forested grounds.

We liked the friendly, relaxed feel of the resort. All our interactions with staff were very positive, especially Martine at reception, Nick at the bar & Mary-Anne at the door/ tour area. Easy parking and central to the village (especially for those without a car).

The property was fine. It was a bit dated and on the edge of shabby for the room condition and furnishings. The bed was comfortable. The front desk staff seemed unorganized and not real knowledgeable. The wait staff were all excellent, the expeditors in the lobby were helpful and friendly.
