Everyone in our group (4 of us) found the place to be excellent. The room and bathroom were big and clean. Everything worked as expected. The restaurant was good though food choice was a bit limited for vegetarians. Overall, a great place to stay in Denali.

We loved the restaurant on the property. It was the highlight of our stay in the area. We ate breakfast here all of the mornings we were there and dinner one time. Everything was yummy. The cabin we stayed in seemed like it needed updating...especially after we visited our other family members who were staying in one of the lodge rooms. We were paying more money for the cabin, but theirs was much nicer. Their bathroom was normal size ( ours was tiny and smelled like urine), they had a tv (we did not), everything just seemed more clean and updated in their room. The staff was very nice and helpful. It was a good location, close to the park.

Good stay with great views, love the homelike amenities like big bottles of lotions, shampoo etc. and thoughtful arrangement of utilities like fridge, microwave, plates and silverware in the room. We would stay here again, the cafe is a good option for fresh purchase breakfast.

Great Stay at McKinley Creekside Cabins

We loved our stay at McKinley Creekside Cabins. The food at the cafe is great and it's probably the best place to eat in the area! It would be nice to have two chairs and a small table in our room. There was one outside but it was pretty cold so we didn't use it. We also like that it was a smaller property and it didn't have large amounts of tour bus people. I would not hesitate to stay there again!
