It was very hard decision trying to book lodges in Denali last year. After many internet searches I came across Denali Backcountry Lodge. I also saw some reviews. The negative reviews kind of made me think twice, but I called them. When i talked with their sales person over the phone, they convinced me I will have good times, and... more

We went to Backcountry Lodge last summer for a getaway without the kids, and had a wonderful time. Second time back. We took a long bus ride through the park to get to the lodge which is located deep in Denali Park. The bus was a great way to see wildlife-bears, moose, and caribou to name a few. Great location... more

With out a doubt Denali Backcountry Lodge is the best place to stay at of the three choices this far into the National Park. Real food (not bagged), great staff members, great accomodations. Our own bathrooms in our own cabin, one of the other places didn't even offer that much. There was even a few activities that weren't mentioned when... more

Date of stay: August 5-8, 2009. The experience at Back Country Lodge fell far short of expectations based on representations of the web site and in discussions with Denali Tours representatives. This complaint is not delivered lightly. I have over 30 years of experience in hotels and the hospitality industry. There were nine other couples and families who told me... more

Too romote location. Only hiking! Oh, panhandling for gold and videos. Took about six hous to arrive by school bus. Then if you want to go elsewhere, you can wait by side of road to be picked by bus, if the bus had a seat. Food was bad! One night they actually served us a chicken leg quarter. Really, how... more

Decided to splurge for the first time ever....what a mistake. We choked on the food, bar was minimal and no one was ever there. Wonder Lake excursion dropped us off, no boats or canoes available--and came back an hour later. Did see Mt McKinley! Fishing equipment was dismal-not like our expectation after reading the brochure, but we saw no fish... more

I'm sorry to say but the best part of our 4 days in Denali NP was the bus ride in and out. The rooms were adequate but the food was terrible. The entree each night was a salad bowl put on the table for the guests to help themselves and the main was a choice of a vegitarian meal or... more

We stayed at the Backcountry Lodge for two nights as part of a one-week self-assembled land tour before a cruise. The 7+hour bus ride through the park to the lodge was a journey in itself. We were fortunate to have a nearly clear day in which Denali was fully visible all the way in; the previous day (in late June)... more

Spent 3 nights (4 days) here June/July and it was the highlight of our cruise plus independent land tour of Alaska. The guided hikes were great, especially as the weather was perfect. Denali was out three of four days. Meals were excellent and the staff was very helpful and very unobtrusive. Late afternoon visits to Wonder Lake were wonderful (sorry).... more

I did a lot of research on whether to stay in one of the expensive backcountry lodges or stay near the Denali entrance. After reading several reviews, I decided on the Denali Backcountry Lodge. First, the booking staff were terrific. I got a discount by booking directly with the lodge and mentioning the "internet discount". Secondly, the Backcountry Lodge has... more
