About this property

The main floor of the lodge is lighted by large picture windows and rustic stained glass lamps. The kitchen is equipped with double ovens and a large refrigerator. There are two dining tables and stoneware dishes and utensils for 12. A Natuzzi leather couch provides rest and relaxation while a large selection of DVDs is available for entertainment.

Upstairs is the family room and three bedrooms. The McKinley Suite consists of the spacious master bedroom with a king size bed, queen bed, private bathroom.. Bedroom 1 is furnished with a Queen bed. Bedroom 2 has a double bed. There is a shared bathroom down the hall with a shower and large vanity. Large groups may request 2 additional mattresses..

Guests at King's Deer Lodge are responsible for meals and general housekeeping during their stay. We recommend purchasing groceries before you come to Denali. Anchorage, Wasilla, or Three Bears in Healy have reasonable prices. Check-in is 4pm and check-out is 10am.

The garage is reserved for storage and the use of the owners. Our family may access the garage during your stay. There is a large semi-unfinished basement with a bathroom, 3 queen beds and one twin bed.

Large and comfortable

We had a great stay. The lodge had lots of room for us all. We don’t live in a place where it snows, so coming in fall, with some snow on the ground, made us uneasy, but the drive to the lodge was no problem at all in an AWD minivan.

Very close to the Denali National Park and lots of close by local excursions.Great eateries, shopping, coffee shops.
