McKinley Creekside Cabins

4 months ago

We found the perfect hideaway to use as home base for a few days while exploring Denali National Park on our own. McKinley Creekside Cabins is located about 15 minutes south of the park entrance, right off the highway. A pleasant drive to the park, but away from all the tour bus hotels clustered around the park entrance. The cabins are small but clean and comfortable, with good beds and all the amenities you could need. Our cabin faced the creek, really a small flowing river, and we greatly enjoyed falling asleep while listening to the water. The staff were friendly and attentive even though we were there at the end of the season and I’m sure they were exhausted. What makes it perfect is the excellent restaurant they operate. Visitors to the park will quickly find that quality food options are limited. We wound up eating multiple meals at Mickinley Creekside Cafe and were always pleased. Customers were a blend of cabin guests, locals, and tourists staying at the park entrance, desperate for a good meal and willing to make the short drive. Definitely recommend and we will be returning on our next visit to Denali.

Pricey but worth it. Good spacious cabins located just beside a creek. Tastefully decorated space. Clean rooms, comfy beds, great staff. Good assortment of toiletories. Ample marked parking for every cabin. 15 mins from Denali park entrance. No breakfast included which i think should have been included for the price which is high. The restaurant is good too.

we LOVED our stay at MCC. We had a room right next to the creek and fell asleep (in a very comfortable bed) to the sound of a babbling brook every night. The cabins themselves were located 15-20 minutes from Denali National Park, but it was well worth the distance. The restaurant is fantastic and they make it so easy for you to eat there! Very early breakfast available (in case you want to get to the park early), to-go lunches and dinner open late in case you get back late from your Denali explorations. Also a great gift shops, delicious lattes and mouth watering pastries. Would 100% stay here again if coming back to Denali
