Creekside cabin, able to watch the water, nice accommodations. Good beds! Has a small fridge and microwave, able to cook on a outdoor grill under a covered pavilion, has some card games and such to play. Walking trails. Peaceful, wifi access. Nice place to stay.

We had a great time. The cabin was clean, the beds were super comfy. I only wish we would have known that plates and silverware were not provided.

Outstanding food. And don't forget to try their rhubarb strawberry coffee cake. Yummy. Wish we could have tried their other freshly baked goodies. Don't forget to stop by.

Great location and the cabins were quaint and wonderful. The creek that ran behind our cabin made it even more enjoyable and created a picturesque view of Denali. Would love to stay here again.

The staff here are amazing. The accommodations are great. The restaurant food was great. The views are amazing. This place was the best place we stayed on our Alaskan road trip. Would definitely return.
Sorry m8
Our group got in a bit late at night so while we where waiting to get our rooms in order we accidentally got a bit too loud. We weren't use to it still being light out so late. The owner did not like that one bit so he came out house screaming and cussing at us to stop talking and go inside. (we weren't really talking all too loud). All he really needed to do was tell us to "quite down, it's very late" and we would have immediately quoted down. His reaction was quite uncalled for and not good for business. The place is alright but it's lacking in the customer service aspect.

Nice, very good rest, good food, check out time at ten, should be eleven, and great people. They worked with us and let my wife have her small comfort dog with her. I would definitely recommend. Thank you and God bless. R. Lee Keel

We stayed at the hostel and cabins across the street and during that time enjoyed several meals at the Creekside Cafe. We tried breakfast, dinner, and dessert multiple times and were never disappointed. Food was always delicious and the staff friendly and attentive.

Cabins were not available when we checked in but the rooms that we stayed in were absolutely amazing! Beautiful view, great food and a spectacular creek located right next to the hotel. This will be a place i will stay when visiting that area again!
