If you're looking for a spot near Denali, but want a cut on the price while still having a nice room, this is a good option. I stayed here in September of 2012, just after Labor Day. Of course, I wanted to stay right next to the national park's entrance, but with an $800 flight, $600 car rental, and $400... More

What a wonderful setting! You feel as if you are camping next to a stream but actually have a warm bed and a nice bathroom! The cabins are small, but very comfortable,. clean and cozy. They each have a small porch steps away from the stream. The cabins are enroute to Denali - about a 15 min drive. I would... More

This location was chosen as a place to stay with our parents when they came to visit Alaska and didn't necessarily want to stay in our 1984 RV. We had passed it on our way through a couple of times, and my MIL found it online and booked it. The staff was so friendly and the service was great. They... More

My husband and I had a wonderful 3-night stay here. Our comfortable cabin was next to the rushing waters of Carlos Creek and there were mountains all around. Nice seats on our 'deck' and by the creek. The restaurant had very good food and everyone was quite helpful. We would return here.

Well priced cabins in the heart of DNP. Beautiful mountain and creek views. Food is excellent and so is service. Definately worth the stay :-).Rent the cabins by the creek with balconies. Also, try and book the tours in advance... especially the shuttle tours by the school bus.

Glad you enjoyed your time at Creekside and meals at the Creekside Cafe! Avid travelers ourselves, we know how tiring restaurant food can get...we work hard to offer fresh home-style cooked meals...nothing fancy, just good quality food.

We do try to be very clear about the amenities of our rooms, as we never want people to come and expect something we do not offer, such as a TV or cell service...it is not good for you or us-I will review our website and see...

We stayed in the cheapest cabin for 3 nites in early September. Cabin is spacious and clean with 2 double bed. Bathroom is small, shower cubicle is tiny. As we are out during the day, we don't see the need of staying at a creekside cabin. There is only a coffee maker in the cabin, no fridge, microwave or safe... More
