We come here every year for our knitting group outing

This is a fantastic place to stay with a large group of friends, whether it is super cold and you just want to hang out and enjoy the views from the lodge, or you want to ski or hike the trails or take day tours into the park

Amazing Place

The property is beautiful - secluded and private yet close to everything in Denali. There was plenty of room and space for our large group (from ages 11 months to 60), and the home had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Only wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be staying here again if/when we are back to visit Denali.

One of the 30%

This was a great location just outside the park and down the road from all the shopping and some really good restaurants. We were 1/4 mile from iditarod dogs and puppies (worth a visit). The house was large and in the woods. We only saw squirrels and dogs while staying there but I imagine you can see a moose occasionally

Denali/Cruise Trip

Stayed at the cabin for 2 nights to take a day tour into Denali National Park prior to taking a 1 week cruise. Stayed in constant contact with Jessica before our arrival, due to the Denali (Riley Fire). She was extremely kind, helpful and understanding throughout our communication. Her home was warm, inviting and secluded. We had a nice time for the 3 days and 2 nights during our stay at, “Kings Deer Lodge”.

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.

Beautiful house and close to the park

This house is gorgeous!! We loved our stay here. We stayed for 5 nights and loved all the extra room we had. There were toys for the kids, good movie selections, and room to play games. With only a 10 minute drive to Denali National Park, it made our trip very easy. Thanks for such a wonderful stay!!

A great house for large groups. We had three families staying staying at the house and it accommodated all of us with room to spread out. This was our second stay at Kings Deer Lodge. Last time was in the spring/winter. It’s nice in all seasons.

Overall excellent facility with lots of room

Worked out great for us. No significant complaints other than downstairs was a bit musty and we did not receive good directions to reach the property…neither of which would prevent us from renting this home again.

Great Stay at King's Deer Lodge

My extended family of 13 just completed our three night stay at King's Deer Lodge. It was great. There were plenty of beds and plenty of bathrooms even for our large group. Also, ample and comfortable living space and areas to relax, both in the house and on the deck.. We cooked in each night--there were plenty of dishes and utensils, and pretty much everything we needed for meal preparation (lots of pots, pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, etc.). A large skillet would be a good addition. The proximity to Denali National Park was perfect and communications with the owner were great. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to others and would stay here again,
