Pets are allowed, but only with advance written approval. Smoking is permitted only outside the cabins.

These cabins are aptly named, because they are located just outside the entrance to Denali National Park. Cabin guests can enjoy the convenience of en-suite showers, daily housekeeping service, TV and heat. The cabins come with either two double beds or a double and single bed.
Some cabins are quite popular, because they are right on the Nenana River, so book well in advance of your trip.
Nature provides much of the entertainment opportunities: the Nenana River offers river rafting, and Mount McKinley is a short drive away.
Guests won't go hungry when they stay at Denali River Cabins. A complimentary breakfast is available every morning, and there is an on-site restaurant that opens for dinner. The Denali Roadhouse Restaurant serves Alaskan-style dishes that include seafood, steak and burgers.
