McKinley Creekside Cabins, hotel in McKinley Park

Located 13 miles south of the Denali National Park entrance on Carlo Creek, these cabins feature views of the surrounding forests and mountains. An on-site café serves all homemade food.

The cabins are amazing, our was perfect like a mountain house. Made of wood with a pleasent balcony where to spend late afternoon after an amazing drive trough Denali Nation Park (10 min away from it). My fiancé and I we had an amazing time here. Restaurant is great, good quality! We felt in love with the breakfast brownie and cookies. Prepared and kind personnel.

Denali Cabins, hotel in McKinley Park

Offering a restaurant, Denali Cabins is located in Denali, 15 minutes' drive from Denali Visitor Center. A hot tub, an on-site bar and free Wi-Fi access is available.

Good service from friendly staff. At the Denali train station, the hotel driver waited for guests who might arrive by train. It was a reassuring sight as our phone calls could not get through to the hotel reception before our arrival. Hotel drivers gave good advice to us. Eg 1 upon arrival by train, the driver advised us to go to the park immediately, and not waste time going to the hotel to try to checkin early. Instead, she took our luggage to the hotel for us. Another pro tip from the driver when he learnt that we are going to take the transit bus to East Fork is that on the return trip, alight at the top of Sable pass & hike down west ward. Whenever we are tired, flag down the next bus. The views of this hike is good to die for. Cabin: basic, water for showering not hot, shower cubicle is very small, power outlets are not beside the beds.

    I stayed here for three days. The service was very great and professional. Shuttles in the property and too to Denali offers good mobility without using individual car. The Dining, shopping and entertainment around Karstens Restaurant with great views to the mountains makes the different to many others lodges.

    The location was very central next to various restaurants and eateries that were open till 10pm during the season. Having a laundry on site was great to wash clothes after our cruise. The cabins were newly renovated and had a fresh look. It’s just across from the Princess Wilderness Lodge that had the free shuttles to Denali Park. We stayed in the stand alone cabins which were private, even though it was in the RV campground

    The Grand Denali Lodge is perched high above the main road with breathtaking views of the national park. It is just a short drive off the main road that transports you to incredible views of the surrounding mountains. The property has a restaurant, bar and coffee/grab & go cafe that was very convenient. The room was great with a king size bed and all the room amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Location was perfect for a visit to Denali National Park.

    Great location in proximity to Denali- 20 minute drive, but worth it to be away from the massive cruise ship facilities. Comfortable beds and plenty of pillows. Basic items in kitchen. Kids loved the fire pit and the small stream. View from lodge was great. Appreciated the full coffee bar and the huge Alaska cinnamon rolls. Packed lunch offer was a little bit expensive, but a nice convenience.

    The location is fantastic only 20 miles from Denali national park and is pleasant in the trees with a view of the mountains and a creek nearby. They even had a microwave and small fridge, which I did not expect. there are picnic tables outside if the weather is good. The parking is a little small but worked OK since there weren’t that many guests. it is the perfect place to stay if you are coming from the Anchorage direction and don’t want to stay in the more expensive lodges at Denali.
