Excellent place to stay. Beautiful location, very friendly staff. One of the owners was very helpful in helping find medical care. The food is great - amazing pies! They have gluten free options, too.

Perfect place to stay to visit Denali. There is only one hotel in Denali so this is a great option near the park. We stayed in a lovely CREEKSIDE cabin. We heard the creek rumble by and the view of it was magical. Room well equipped with a small fridge and coffeemaker. Best restaurant and bakery around made even better by our server Meghan. This really is the perfect place to stay on a visit to Denali.

The ambiance of the creek which ran right next to the cabin we stayed in. Not all cabins are actually facing the creek. The cabin was very clean. The bed was comfrotable. The restaurant was fabulous. The meals, both breakfast and dinner were incredible. Apparently, it wasn't a secret because they were very busy. The wait staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. This was our first time in the Denali area. I didn't realize how far out McKinley Creekside cabins was from the park (about 15 minutes), and related activities in Healy (aobut 30 minutes). I asked about nearby hikes, the person at the desk knew of none, although I learned later that there were some nearby. Most regretably, though, was that the cabin itself was extremely small, rather cramped. There was only one mirror in the entire cabin. The bathroom door wouldn't close all the way. It was either not planed properly, or swollen from moisture. Also, water condensed on the back of the toilet and pooled around the base. The heating system needs improvement. The photo of the cabin is really two together.

Incredible place, awesome setting by a creek that is really more like a roaring river! Room was clean, beds super comfy. The cafe had exceptional food and we dined every meal (including their to go lunches) our entire stay. Sarah at the front desk was super accommodating and help me switch my dates of stay several times. She has a great personality and easy laugh, gave us exceptional service! Everyone seemed to be working so hard but still smiling and friendly. In the cafe, Luke was above and beyond in service. A nice touch from the owner as she introduced herself at the cafe and thanked us being with them. Highly recommend this place.

Due to an unexpected business trip, we worked in a few days exploring Alaska. We started in Fairbanks and made our way down to Denali National Park. We had reserved one night in the creek side cabins the day we hiked in the park. We enjoyed Denali so much that we didn't get down to McKinley Creekside Cabins until almost 10pm. The minute we got there we wished we had arrived earlier to enjoy the setting and dinner in the cafe. This was further reinforced when we enjoyed coffee creek side the next morning before having an incredible breakfast! From the cabins we made our way south but changed our plans to stay at McKinley Creekside Cabins again on our way back to Fairbanks. The cabins are well appointed and sit right along a rushing creek. There are Adirondack chairs to sit in and enjoy the surroundings. It is so relaxing! It is so different that the accommodations to the north of the park! It is easy to say we would stay here again because we already did!
