Loved Denali Village. Our stay was to short, but enjoyed the CabinNite dinner, Miners Plaza and ate at the restaurant. Everything was nice and made our Anniversary memorable.

Amazing cabin feel with modern facilities. The Cabin Nite show is a must, the crew is a super talented one. The coffee shop was conveniently open very early so we could go on our tours with a hot breakfast.

What a fantastic treat. Beautiful buildings from lodges, restaurants, cabins , gift shops and hotel rooms all surrounded by the majestic scenery. All very clean and well maintained facilities staffed by hard working professionals that attend to the multitude of guests coming and going every day. Very nice rooms and delightful atmosphere in the Lodge Dinning Room.

Convenient to the park, a lot to offer on the property to do. Food on site but expensive. Wish the Continental breakfast was included

There are few places to choose from in the area, and all are priced higher-end due to the area's cost of living. The village is located relatively close to the park. Rooms are very clean and decorated to fit the lodge motif. Lots of bus tour traffic cones in here and it is well organized. We were part of a tour, so bags were handled by the coach service. The village has lots of things to occupy your time during your stay. Amazingly well maintained grounds. There are shops, and fire-pits, restaurant, and lobby games. For the adventure seekers the concierge can help set you up with something you want. Off site trails are about a half mile walk from the property but you do need a vehicle or walk along a highway edge.

Beautiful Park and a true wilderness area. Book Denali Air which is 10 minutes from the park. We got lucky and saw the peak during our 7:30 am flight. We also took the Wilderness Shuttle and though it was informative and we got to see a grizzy and her cubs. The landscape and wildflowers were breathtaking.

It was very very very busy in the morning. Tough to eat at the facilities when all the buses were there. The rooms were quaint, clean, and nice. It was just a lot of people.
