We went end of august, and i presume didnt have the crowds of the summer. These are wooden cabins so dont expect much. Very comfortable beds and a gas heater that warmed up the room. We were not familiar as to how it worked but once you get to know it, its easy. the bathrooms were a bit small but... More

I really enjoyed my time at Denali River Cabins. I visited the National Park for a couple days back in August 2011. When I arrived at the cabins at around 4pm in the afternoon I had no plans for the day. Since I didn’t have any plans I went to the front desk to inquire about options. The staff was... More

A friend and I stayed here in August (tried to submit a review then, but there were problems with the website). The hotel was having problems with the well, so there was no water available. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that the well problems were not their fault and could not have been... More

Dear Valued Guest, Your experience at our Denali River Cabins due to the water issues was certainly not what any of us would have intended. Our intention is to provide a comfortable accommodation for your stay in one of the most beautiful parks in America. Denali National Park, as you know, is six million acres of wilderness in the remote... More

If you want 5 stars this is not it. The cabins are small but cute. We stayed for 3 nights in late Aug. and it was very cold at night. They have propane heaters installed in the walls, but ours turned off in the middle of the night and the temperature in the cabin fell into the 40's which made... More

The cabins were expensive compared to some others around but overall were nice. The breakfast buffet was good and our two kids ate free. People may complain about the cabins' size but we had no issues with them. Overall, it was fine and I'd stay here again.

We had three rooms in the lodge. I was not especially impressed with the majority of the staff at this location. One lady was really nice, and one of the waiters in the restaurant were really nice, but other than that - eh. I was not thrilled with having to drag my roller suitcase through deep gravel to carry it... More

Situated just outside the park, this was a great value compared to some of the other hotels & cabins in the area. The room was pretty tiny, but the website made that clear from the beginning so we were expecting it. It was clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

We stayed in the cedar lodge part of the "Denali River cabin" which was kind of confusing when you are coming in trying to follow the signs which do not say anything about the lodge part and since there is a separate lodge in the same turn off. Anyways, make sure to check out the buy one night get one... More

We stayed here two nights. It is close to the Highway, but away from town, which can be a plus. The staff was courteous, and helpful. The restaurant serves a hearty breakfast buffet. We were picked up for our bus tour of Denali National Park right across the street from the cabins, which saved a drive into the park. The... More

We stayed in cabin 25 for a couple nights in July and found it quite comfortable. Our cabin was recently remodeled, and quite acceptable. It was rustic, but provided a good, affordable place to stay while we visited Denali national park. Some cabins are near the road and there's a lot of noise but ours wasn't. Yes, you can hear...
