It is a lovely rustic family run resort. Its a beautiful setting amidst great tall pines alongside the small river. It gets you away from the Denali rush yet is close to everything. It is my 3rd stay there and will stay again if I return to Denali park.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Grizzly Bear Resort. I loved the room and the river view. Also, the food trucks on the property were very good. The resort is close to trails in Denali National Park.

Nice wooden lodge. View of river out the back window. The whole property is kind of a hodgepodge of cabins, camping sites, and a large wooden lodge. Not bad though. Very close to the entrance of Denali National Park.

The river view from the cottage was beautiful. Lodge is old but well maintained. Thai Food truck on the property had some amazing vegetarian options. The staff were very nice and helpful. They also let us check in 1 hour early without any issues as our rooms were ready.
