Amazing Place

The property is beautiful - secluded and private yet close to everything in Denali. There was plenty of room and space for our large group (from ages 11 months to 60), and the home had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Only wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be staying here again if/when we are back to visit Denali.

Large and comfortable

We had a great stay. The lodge had lots of room for us all. We don’t live in a place where it snows, so coming in fall, with some snow on the ground, made us uneasy, but the drive to the lodge was no problem at all in an AWD minivan.

One of the 30%

This was a great location just outside the park and down the road from all the shopping and some really good restaurants. We were 1/4 mile from iditarod dogs and puppies (worth a visit). The house was large and in the woods. We only saw squirrels and dogs while staying there but I imagine you can see a moose occasionally

Denali/Cruise Trip

Stayed at the cabin for 2 nights to take a day tour into Denali National Park prior to taking a 1 week cruise. Stayed in constant contact with Jessica before our arrival, due to the Denali (Riley Fire). She was extremely kind, helpful and understanding throughout our communication. Her home was warm, inviting and secluded. We had a nice time for the 3 days and 2 nights during our stay at, “Kings Deer Lodge”.

Kings Deer Lodge

This home is so beautiful! It had everything we needed to cook a couple meals. The beds were comfortable. There was plenty of room for all 9 of us. Jessica answered her phone right away and reassured us about the Riley Creek fire which started the day we arrived so we were unable to get into Denali N P. during our stay but still enjoyed a couple of beautiful hikes outside the park. Again, this home was perfect, large, and very comfortable!
