Out-of-This-World Views, Camp-Like Rooms

The views from this lodge are absolutely out of this world — truly breathtaking and worth the trip on their own. You feel immersed in Alaska’s wild beauty with Denali right in front of you. That said, the rooms themselves are extremely basic. They look and feel more like a boy scout camp cabin than a lodge in such an extraordinary location. Very barebones, no charm or comfort touches you’d expect given the setting. If you come here, come for the views and the location — but don’t expect the accommodations to match the scenery.

This is not a place to stay if you are not on the cruise. Driving and having a car was not a good thing. While in the rain, we had to go up hill up the street in water running down the street, then up a steep driveway, and then walk 2 building over to get to our room. The driveway outside the room was for authorized vehicles only. Then the old lady bus driver for the treehouse shuttle was rude. Room also didn't have a fridge or microwave. Then staff in the lodge and food services while not rude, were not helpful or pleasant. Only the gift shop workers made you feel good.

Great viewing opportunities

We had a good stay. We used the resort as our base to Talkeetna. We were not blessed with good weather for viewing mountain which would have been great from the lodge’s vistas. Not their fault. We did enjoy the presentations in their community room by the naturalists. Only real negative was the lack of cups in the rooms. Oh, the treehouse was a cool place to view the mountain too. Unique

The lodge was very nice. They were able to switch us to a 1st floor room. Be aware you may hear people above you if you're on the first floor. The food was good. Breakfast at the Lodge was very good and Skyy took good care of us. The staff is very friendly. Would stay here again.

Great Denali view

Disappointed there were zero amenities in the bathroom such as lotion or drinking cups. Lovely to be able to open the windows for fresh air. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. The fire pits were awesome!
