Amazing house. The setting was stunning. The house was beautiful and comfortable. Lots of room. Easy to make meals in. You can see the aurora from the window!
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
King’s Deer was ideally located for everything we wanted to do. Access to Denali National Park was quick and easy and there were plenty of good places to eat. The lodge itself was very clean, well maintained and sufficiently large for our 10 member family. The owners treated us well and responded quickly to every question. We had a marvelous time.
Home was beautiful with plenty of room for 9. Host was very helpful. Make sure to use directions through VRBO, GPS WILL NOT take you to the right place, luckily a local stopped and helped us. Creekside Cafe was great. Super close to Denali State Park. We throughly enjoyed our stay here!
Our three-generation family sure enjoyed our time here at this impressive Lodge! Just what we needed while spending almost four days at Denali! Thank you Jessica!!
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.
An easy 5 mile drive to Denali entrance. Nice, quiet, comfortable accommodations for our group of 4 couples. Would definitely stay here again. Hope to make it back one day.
What a perfect cabin to experience Denali Park from! Spacious and cozy! Very clean and readily useable with fully stocked kitchen. Beds super comfortable as well! Hope to stay there again some day!
Great location for everything we wanted to do. Really comfy beds, amazing views, and we saw a mommy moose with her calves, and a wolf!
Alaska - still my favourite state!!
This is a fantastic property with lots of room for everyone! A great kitchen and living area to relax. Beautiful views in a peaceful environment. Very close to Denali National Park!
