Great idea for dinner

The check in area was hard to find for us. The shared bathroom was what you would expect, but very nice. The cabins were cute with little walk ways. Hostess made great recommendations to the Pizza place, (walking distance and family owned)...Awesome!!!

It was a decent stay. The room was clean but very basic. Coffee maker was not working but replaced immediately when we notified the owner. The cabins are pretty close together and we had a very belligerent and noisy guest that woke us up very early. Of course that was no fault of the owners or property.

This was the best stay of our trip. The owners are kind and compassionate. The property is beautiful and well maintained. Cottage was quaint, comfortable and very clean. Location convenient to the State park and other attractions. I would definitely revisit this resort.

The creek near our cabin was a beautiful setting and a great start to our Alaska trip. The pizza place on-site was awesome! Rooms are exactly what they state, rustic cabins, so if your used to 4/5 star hotels this maybe isn’t for you by my family of 4 loved it.

The cabin is very quaint and cozy. The bed was a little too soft and the bathroom fan sounded like a freight train! Otherwise we really enjoyed our time there.

Loved the close proximity to two excellent restaurants in the park even though it’s far away from Main Street Denali. Could open the cabin window and listen to the creek behind. The guest next door were loud but left for a late dinner so we had quiet most of the night. Very cute set up and clean accommodations.

We stayed in Cabin 5, which has two double beds. The cabin was very clean. We initially thought 'rustic' meant no power outlets, but it had a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee machine. The heater worked well too. The cabin stands beautifully in the woods, surrounded by natural grass, with walkways made of pebbles. It felt like the cabins were designed by an architect. We used the shared wash house, which was clean and mostly empty. The shower water was inconsistent but tolerable.

This was a bunch of miniature cabins piled closely to each other. It did not look like the marketing on the internet. My bed was very badly broken that we kept falling into a hole in the middle. Much better options in the area, especially for the price.

The property owner was helpful and provided some local information, communication was A1. The location is about 20 minutes south of Denali park- which was excellent- Now for the not so good. The mattress in our cabin was worn out, sagged in the middle- we travel a fair amount and it has been awhile since we have experienced this degree of sag. It is a cute concept,with a loft- just needs some TLC-the lock on the door, could be improved as people roam about at night- we were awoken at 4 in am by dudes whooping it up- (no concerns with 4 legged wild life-) the price was similar to others in area- Location is important and price should also reflect amenities- such as comfort and security. Addressing these would make a difference.

I thought it was a cute little cabin. Easily houses 4 people. There is a large stream running through the cabins. Paths get you to a couple of bars and a cafe. Note the bathroom is a bathhouse separate from the cabins so plan bathroom trips accordingly. Path to bathhouse, cabins, and food are well lit. You are 15 minutes from Denali and local shops and food.

I think the outside the owners thought was taking it back to nature but to me it was very unkept. It was trash in the backyard of the buildings. Very difficult to find parking very crowded would not recommend this place

The Expedia listing didn't make it very clear that the cabins we were booking only had shared bathrooms. If that was something we expected, it might've been ok, but we didn't because it wasn't highlighted. Also, there are certain expectations from a property termed a "resort" - this property is basically a set of detached cabins in an amazing location, and if that's what you're looking for, it's great.
