It’s a little rustic, but comfortable, and all your needs are met. The views of the mountains are incredible and the staff was very friendly. The beds are also comfortable.

We stayed in a dry cabin which was right on a beautiful creek - warm and cozy with plenty of coffee, a microwave. It was a luxurious camping alternative near Denali ( we wanted to get out of the rain). Staff were friendly and helpful. We misplaced our key and they were there in minutes.

Perch is further away from the NP entrance. Cabin was clean and enough for 3 persons. Microwave and fridge available. Drinking water and ice dispenser is available outside on the back area of the cabins. Needed clothes hangers and space for the luggage/bags.

If you want a very remote location, this is the perfect place. We had a deluxe cabin, so we had a bathroom. Also a microwave and a mini fridge. Comfy beds, near an excellent pizza place. But not close to Denali Park at all. And it's an expensive shuttle back and forth.

Friendly and responsive staff. Landscaping around sleeping quarters wasn’t maintained. Inside could use some updating. Loft area had crumbs on floor, bedding appeared as if someone had been jumping on top it and mattress was uncomfortable.

Right at the foot of the entrance to the national park! Beautiful location and duplex cabin! We had a private bathroom with shower. Very comfortable beds. Delicious food on the property- such a nice place to stay! Would definitely recommend.

This was one of the few properties in the Denali area that had rooms with separate sleeping areas. Unfortunately, one was a loft, with a ladder that was less than convenient. The room was small, and was little more than just a place to spend the night. Not knowing the area, I chose this place. And all in all, for a one-night stay after a rafting trip, if you were a single person, or a couple, this wouldn’t be terrible. And the friendliness of the staff was exceptional. But I generally most enjoy upscale experiences, and this certainly wasn’t that. But, were the circumstances different - namely, that I was on my own - I might very well choose Perch again. But not sharing a single cabin with a friend. That ladder is not made for an overweight 60-year-old.
