If you make the 90 mile trip into the backcountry of Denali National Park do yourself a favor and stay a few nights at the lodge. The trip in is unbelievable with views of mountains and wildlife but being at the lodge really sets the stage well. The service is top notch and everyone is so friendly as they accommodate... More

i love this hotel because we had a room on the river and we were right next to the fireplace hut thing that was screened in and the meals are great we saw alot of moose and we went on a hike we saw a bear [the first hike that our guide ever saw a bear] so we had to... More

Overall it was a nice stay. If not for the hefty price, I would give it a five-star. The most impressive part is the service in the lodge. The management has thought about everything you might need and made them readily available. They give you water-proof pants, mosquito head nets, and benedryl! Some of the things never even came across... More

The site says: "Surround yourself with miles of wilderness, not thousands of tourists..." It touts “relax here” at Denali Back Country Lodge. GUESS WHAT TRAVELERS: You will be surrounded by hoards day trippers AND have almost no privacy from the paper thin walls. The greatest disappointment was when the herd came in. Not wild animals that Denali is known for,... More

We had a great time - went in on the bus wich is a long journey but we did see bears! The lodge as earlier reviewrs have stated is comfortable but not over the top - it is a remote location and providing full service meals is obviously a challenge. We had a most adequate room and we found the... More

First off I must say that the experience of Denali, the 95 mile bus trip in (a whole adventure in itself), the glorious surroundings are a MUST DO in your bucket-list. There is NO PLACE on earth as unique, as quiet, as grand as Denali. The only disappointing part of our trip was the lodge itself. By advertising, we were... More

Cozy, cushy leather couches and deep chairs beckon upstairs in the lodge hall, along with first editions of Alaska books. History and art are well represented here, and the original needlework and crafts make this more than a hotel-it felt like home. The same with the food-served in shared platters and bowls it was delicious. Both vegetarian and other entrees... More

Stayed four nights at the Backcountry Lodge as land portion of an Alaskan Cruisetour. The lodge is at the end of the park road in Denali, so the ride in is long, but between the frequent wildlife sightings and the beautiful views the time passed quickly! The lodge itself was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the staff was... More

You could not ask for a better location. It’s 95 miles from civilization, but still has great food and nice amenities. The cabins are comfortable with you own private bathroom. They are close to the main lodge where you have dinner, mingle with staff and other guests and where you sign up for hikes and activities. You can tell the... More
