I didn’t know what to expect when I booked Denali hostel and cabins, but when I arrived I instantly fell in love with the place. The buildings have been built to such a high standard. The log cabins just blend in so well with the surroundings. When you picture a cabin in the woods, this is exactly what this hostel is! The communal space in the octagon is kept clean and well equipped. There is a campfire that can be used and even a herb garden, which I didn’t discover until I was about to leave! The people working at the hostel are extremely helpful, they provided good advice and assistance when needed. Although this is about a 10minute drive from Denali Park itself, it is most definitely worth it. There are a few places within walking distance to eat too if needed. I had an extremely enjoyable stay here and met some great people. Hopefully I’ll be able to return in the future.

First Time Experience

This was my first time at a hostel, and I had no idea what to expect. I booked this stay as a money saving exercise, but wanting my privacy, I also wanted a cabin. I booked what I think was the smallest cabin on the property, the Highwater cabin. It is supposed to sleep 3 people, but with my personal belongings and camera equipment, it was barely room for 1. I was located very close to the raging Carlo Creek. Also the water was running fast and furious, it provided a very peaceful ambiance for a sound sleep. The property had a group kitchen which was very full most of the time I was there, and I chose to fix sandwiches in my cabin for several reasons, primarily for privacy and Covid -19 concerns. The cabin was adequate for the purpose I was there for, and by no means a luxury accommodation, which I think "hostel" implies anyway. I only met one staff member during my stay, and Josh was very professional, and courteous. The check-in and out process was pretty much contactless, and I appreciated that. Overall, my stay and experience was very good, and I will say that the owner, Bethany was easy to communicate with in the months leading up to my stay.

Solo travel in Denali

Extremely friendly staff where nothing was too much trouble. Shuttle bus between the hostel and the park was efficient and the staff were super friendly. Was pleasantly surprised by the restaurant across the road which served excellent and healthy food but the hostel kitchen was fully equipped if you'd prefer to cook your own. Everyone was very considerate and this is a really good option to consider especially if travelling solo. I felt very safe. It was really nice to be away from crowds and the beds were comfy, showers facilities excellent. One of the best hostels I've stayed in.

Love the tent cabins. Comfy warm cots with sleeping bags. The zippered door is a bit of a challenge for me but kept the skeeters out. Quiet except the 1 am plus karyoke noise from the restaurant across the road on Wednesday nights. Staff was awesome and really helped me with my broken arm while I was there. The cooking facilities are very adequate. Coffee was provided. Yay! It could use a few more toilets for the morning rush but I really love this place and their staff. Lovely mix of guests from all over.

We spent a single night at this location and completely adored the cabin we lodged in. It goes by the name of "Wonder Wave" and is conveniently situated beside a babbling creek. The family in charge of this establishment tends to it with a personal touch, as if it were their own residence. The cleanliness is impeccable, and it's equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.
