My wife and I participated in a pre-cruise extension through Lindblad Expeditions/National Geographic. We arrived at the North Face Lodge on a Monday and left the following Friday. Everything about the resort--including the guest rooms, Living Room, Dining Room--was superb. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and unerringly helpful. This was especially true for the naturalist/guides that led us on very... More

A fabulous 5 star lodge 89 miles down the Denali National park road. Accomodations were great! The food was OUTSTANDING! The staff was exceptional. Oh yea the fall colors were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Yes the prices are a little steep but nothing else compares. This is a once in a life time experience. If you are lucky you may... More

We just returned from a week in Denali National Park at the North Face Lodge. We were accompanied by a group of 10 other photographers. All of us were in total agreement that North Face Lodge was an exceptional place to stay. Not only was it in the heart of Denali close to Wonder Lake where the scenery is spectacular,... More

North Face Lodge is one of the best managed resorts I've ever stayed in. From pickup at the train depot to drop off at the train depot, not an effort was spared to make my stay terrific. The staff are well trained, know their jobs, are helpful, and go out of the way to answer your needs. The food was... More

No doubt, North Face Lodge is pricey. It will cost you more than $500 per night per person. But if you can make the budget work, it is worth the price of admission. Read the reviews for all of the lodging options at Kantishna and you will quickly discover the differences. North Face offers basically two packages: a three-night, two... More

We were not disappointed in any respect. North Face has it nailed! For a photographer or nature lover if you are going to do Denali this is the only choice. Being deep in the park gives you easy, uncrowded access to the beauty of Denali. Daily excursions come in three levels of intensity ranging from vehicle touring to "you better... More

From all the reviews I read and the $515 each/day price, I was expecting more. The scenery did not disappoint. Clear blue skies, majestic Denali, gorgeous autumnal tundral tapestry. Aurora borealis at 0130 in the rain. Exquisite, truly inspiring and awesome. Words fail me. Staff were helpful and concerned. I like a little less structure though. The meals were, well....they...

This is an expensive stay, but absolutely well worth the cost. The quality of almost everything about the lodge is excellent; the lodge itself, the fantastic location, the guided activities, the chance to meet people from everywhere in a convivial setting, etc. The food was good. It is an absolutely unique experience. Although you can visit Denali by staying outside... More

Location and Staff are incredible. The lodge offers daily excursions, browser, moderate and strenuous. Each is guided by one guide and if too many people sign up the group is divided in half and each group has a guide. The guides are extremely knowledgeable about the flora, the geology and everything else that a traveler might want to know about... More
