I LOVED our stay in Denali at these cabins! The room was perfect for my family of 4, and the food at the cafe is some of the best food I have ever tasted (and I am a foodie!). We will definitely stay here again on our future trips to Alaska.
Not worth the money. Cabins were very basic for the price, toilets backed up with every flush, cabins were all very close together giving you no privacy, they have a fire pit but make you purchase the wood to have a fire. We will not stay here again.
Very nice facility. Stayed in the new chalet. Very clean, comfortable. Probably has a nice view without the clouds. Neat woodworks. Would recommend to a friend.
We stayed for 3 days late May. We loved it here. Convenient to Denali. Cabin on the creek was very nice. Nothing like sitting by the water having your coffee in the morning. Servers in restaurant were excellent and very personable.
Creekside cabins are new, clean & beautiful. Love the area.
Friendly service at the front desk.
Clean room, soft and comfy bed. Beautiful cabin and surroundings. The staff at the cafe was very accommodating . They brought the food outside to us so we can enjoy our dinner by the creekside. After travelling all day by train we need it to relax and enjoy the outdoor. Thanks for making our stay in Denali a memorable one.
Beautiful place to visit and the staff are fantastic.
Very nice place to stay near Denali National Park. Located in the middle of nature. The huts have everything you need (coffee maker, tea, hair dryer in the bathroom and shower utensils) and are simply furnished. They offer enough space for two people. We spent a lovely night here, the beds are very comfortable. The best thing was that we had the river behind our cabin, where you could sit comfortably in the evening and, with a little luck, watch animals. Everything here was very clean and the staff friendly.
The food in the on-site restaurant was also good. Everything was freshly made and was good. Unfortunately a bit very expensive for lunch but understandable when you consider the location, as there was no alternative to shopping in the immediate vicinity.
Came here for dinner after Denali tour. Couldn t have finished the day any better. Their summer salad was amazing followed by the grilled salmon entree with risotto cake. Very accommodating to however you like your food. Must try!
Stopped at the cafe for dinner. Portions were huge. Service waa great.
Nice hotel. Wooden cabins with balcony. There is a microwave fridge and coffee in the room. Our cottage is on the edge of the stream. It was wonderful sitting in the evening on the bench when the river wet your feet. There is a delicious food restaurant here, good service, and expensive. They prepare meals for those who go on a full day tour to the park worth the money.
Went for breakfast and it was excellent! Then ordered a boxed to go lunch to take on a denali bus tour and it was also quite tastyle and filling. Great spot!
stopped here during our honeymoon. it was a solid place and the restaurant they have on site was really good.
This was a fantastic place to stay. We opted for the model style Lodge rooms, which were renovated recently, and are nice. I could still occasionally smell fresh cut wood. I appreciated how nice the room was. I appreciated the updated bathroom, and the comfort of the room as a whole. The lodge includes a restaurant which was convenient, and they had a nice fire going each night. The river right next to the fire pit was nice to sit by. We agreed if we came back, this was the place we were staying. The proximity to the park was also nice, but you'd still need a car to get there.
They have a really nice facility. If you want to stay close to Denali without feeling like you are surrounded by a herd of tourists.
Nice cabin with bath, comfortable queen beds, microwave, coffee maker, and small refrigerator.
The cafe food is spectacularly good. Don't know about the cabins.
Friendly staff, they have very nice new double stock building with rooms! Opened in 06/2018. Do not miss the breakfast! It is for extra money but worth it!
We ate at the restaurant adjacent to the cabins. The food is on the pricey side. For two soups, a cornbread muffin, and some crackers, we spent $25. The waitress was extremely nice and quite attentive.
Last August my husband and I were here for our wedding and honeymoon and upon arrival we entered our room and the staff had left a huge, delicious cinnamon roll and handwritten card! Doing something so small, but thoughtful made this one of the most memorable moments of our stay!
The staff here are amazing. The accommodations are great. The restaurant food was great. The views are amazing. This place was the best place we stayed on our Alaskan road trip. Would definitely return.
Comfortable and clean room with a gorgeous view. The food is great also. Highly recommend.
Super cute! The attention to detail was great, and the cafe was wonderful! I would recommend to anyone.
Great place to stay if your visiting Denali or passing through. Staff is very friendly. Falling asleep listening to the creek was fantastic. Rooms are clean and rustic, beds are comfy and I would have stole the pillow if my wife let me. Only thing I would change is breakfast menu and cook. It left alot to be desired for dinner prices. We will be back again.
Great breakfast spot a little South if Denali Park entrance. Cabin accommodations looked nice as well.
I stayed here with my parents and sister. Room was large and accommodating for all 4 of us. Our room had a beautiful porch which had a great view! Everything was clean and definitely better than expected. The cafe had amazing food and I would recommend the summer salad or fish and chips. For dessert, the strawberry rhubarb coffeecake was AMAZING!!! Definitely a must. Also, you can get packed lunch for your trip into Denali, which was convient and very filling! The staff went above any of our expections. The cafe staff were excellent and the front desk was so very accommodating to any issues that may have come up. For example, we needed to change the time of our bus into Denali and the front desk tirelessly called the park until someone picked up and helped us change the time. Would highly recommend to anyone heading to Denali!
This cafe and the staff are amazing! My car battery died right down the street and they went out of their way to make sure I had help. I then drove down and got breakfast at the Cafe and it was SO GOOD! I am beyond thankful for them and I can't recommend them enough!
The best breakfast and dinner spot in the area! Huge selection of food that can suit anyone. Be sure to pick up one of their giant cinnamon rolls!
Had breakfast this morning and was not disappointed at all. Friendly staff, fast service and great food. Very nice cozy place to relax and enjoy a home cooked meal.
We stayed here for 2 nights and we loved our stay. The cabins were super clean, and in general the property is very well maintained. The views around this property are so beautiful, we enjoyed the views and specially the morning coffee in the patio surrounded by the mountains. It is also very close to the Denali. The cafe is also very nice, good food, good times. I highly recommend this place!!!
We stayed at the hostel and cabins across the street and during that time enjoyed several meals at the Creekside Cafe. We tried breakfast, dinner, and dessert multiple times and were never disappointed. Food was always delicious and the staff friendly and attentive.
Cafe food was good, but service was slow and expensive.
Great location! Super friendly staff! Their new chalet building has amazingly beautiful and huge rooms and their cafe has delicious food that's all made from scratch!
Excellent comfortable rooms. View from balcony is awesome. Food in cafe has generous portions & delicious.
This was the best place we stayed in AK. The food at the cafe was the best. Even after we left and traveled north to sightsee, we stopped back by to eat at the cafe as we traveled back south. We will return to this place!
Cabins were not available when we checked in but the rooms that we stayed in were absolutely amazing! Beautiful view, great food and a spectacular creek located right next to the hotel. This will be a place i will stay when visiting that area again!
Amazing little cabins in a beautiful area with awesome food at the restaurant/Cafe. They will even pack you lunches if you're going into the park for a hike.
We stayed in the smallest cabin right next to the creek. We could hear the creek all through the night.......so peaceful.....beautiful. The place was extremely clean. The room did not have wi-fi, and cell phones do not work on the property but it was worth the stay. There is not a Tv in the small cabins, but it is so beautiful outside and in the area no one should waste time watching TV. The staff in the lobby were very helpful, and gave us hints about the area. We had a very delicious breakfast, and the serving staff were very courteous and professional. I would definitely recommend these cabins. There are larger ones with cooking facilities, etc. but this small cabin was just perfect. Very good pillows too!
McKinley Cabins and Cafe was a wonderful stay. It was very welcoming and very cozy.
The room was great, beautiful and very neat. The breakfast was great on point and the hospitality makes you feel home. I love it there and definitely plan on coming back again and definitely recommended to others to stay.
Great Cabins, very thoughtfully appointed, very peaceful right by the stream. Food at the restaurant is wonderful!
Awesome place and you can't beat the price. Great restaurant on premise!
Creekside cabin, able to watch the water, nice accommodations. Good beds! Has a small fridge and microwave, able to cook on a outdoor grill under a covered pavilion, has some card games and such to play. Walking trails. Peaceful, wifi access. Nice place to stay.
there is a good room, there are nice cozy blankets.
We spent one night at the cabins and enjoyed dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Both meals were excellent. The burger very well prepared and fries were hot and crispy. We also enjoyed the halibut tacos. At breakfast we had the breakfast skillet and the apple-pecan pancakes. Both choices were excellent...and way too much to finish in one sitting. The cabin was very comfortable and would have been for a stay off several days. The setting is beautiful and the Danali park entrance is less than 20 miles away.
Food was fantastic!! You will definitely enjoy eating out on the patio, viewing the scenery, and making memories. Will come back again!
Clean, simple and updated cabins. Staff was helpful and friendly. Good food onsite too!
This is the best place I have ever stayed in and the best place I stayed in Alaska. It's so clean and the cabins are just so great. Also the views you get are just stunning and you are really close to Denali.
We came here for lunch. Great wifi outside and great service
Great location and the cabins were quaint and wonderful. The creek that ran behind our cabin made it even more enjoyable and created a picturesque view of Denali. Would love to stay here again.
Great food, with an attentive and professional staff! I'd recommend it to anyone in the Denali area.
