Tennant Posted December 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2014 We are trying to plan a DIY land portion for our 2015 Alaska trip. We originally thought we would stay at the princess lodge but it is booked for our dates. We are hoping for some recommendations of your favorite places to stay near Denali. Will be there for two nights near the end of May. I like modern clean accommodations. I'm not opposed to a B&B but it would not be my first preference unless it is fairly modern and does not require you to be overly involved with fellow travelers. Thanks!

Glaciers Posted December 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 4, 2014 We stay at the Grande Denali Lodge. http://www.denalialaska.com/grande-denali-lodge/ They have the best views, in my opinion, and have a nice bar and restaurant. There are some places up in Healy that we have not stayed at that get good reviews. You’ll get some responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKStafford Posted December 4, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I like the White Moose Lodge in Healy, 'cause it's cheap. Otherwise maybe Motel Nord Haven in Healy. Unless you were wanting to stay in Glitter Gulch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted December 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I really like Touch of Wilderness B&B and no, you don't have to group up with anyone. :) My basic favorite is Denali Park Hotel, clean and a great bargain. Large rooms frig and microwave, quiet, but again- basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugaltravel Posted December 5, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2014 My last choice would be hotels in Glitter Gulch but to each his own. Do note there will still be some construction next year between Denali and Healy though it wont be as bad as last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Vic Posted December 5, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2014 We really enjoyed the Denali Dome Home B&B in Healy http://www.denalidomehome.com/ Reasonable rates with AAA discount, large rooms, excellent breakfasts and friendly, gracious hosts.

midwestsolo Posted December 5, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I too would recommend Denali Dome B & B. I have stayed with them on 2 separate occasions. It is not necessary to interact with other guests. Ann and Terry are very helpful-they also had a home stay in Fairbanks which I used 1 time. They also rent autos. Their breakfasts are not continental and they always have munchies available. The 2nd time I stayed, I flew to Fairbanks, spent 3 nights in the homestay, then took the train to Denali. They picked me up there. They indicated I could rent the car upon arrival in Fairbanks and just drive to them in Denali. The only negative I can mention is the Alaskan tradition of no shoes in the home. However, they have slippers if you forget to bring your own.

mapleleaves Posted December 6, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Would you consider a cabin? Some people enjoy having a kitchenette or at least a fridge/coffeemaker/microwave for snacks, b'fast, etc Check out the Denali Chamber of Commerce site: http://www.a1cms.com/_dcc/accommodations/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
