This is an older but well maintained facility. The view cannot be beat. Had drinks and dinner and watch the clouds clear from Denali. Amazing memory. One of our highlights.

Lovely property, less than accessible.

The property itself had many options --- on-site dining, gift shop etc. Location was a bit remote -- further from Denali than I thought but lovely surroundings. However, the setting is very difficult for someone who has accessibility issues unless you have a motorized wheelchair. Buildings are far apart and on crutches or any other device that is not motorized you will have difficulties.

Dawn

Liked: Staff & service
Food at restaurant was average. Room was dated and carpet and walls in the hall very marked up. No elevator so you have to carry all your bags up a flight of stairs. Lots of buildings with rooms but poor signage makes it challenging to find your room the first time. First day our room was “cleaned” but they didn’t even make the bed. However the maid was sure to take the tip we left her.

Loved the Treehouse trail & other trail options. Amazing views while dining or if you just wanted to enjoy a beverage while watching the sunset over the mountains! Plenty of comfortable seating. Staff helpful & pleasant.

Disappointed

This property was ok, the rooms were dated, bathrooms were basic and small. I’ve stayed at the Princess lodge in Copper Center and the rooms were spectacular, here the rooms were marginal. We were disappointed.
