“family vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed 3 nights at Ridgetop cabins, family of four. We stayed in a two bedroom cabin. The cabin was very comfortable, clean, and everything that we needed and desired. Our hosts, Joyce and John were extremely helpful and pleasant. The cabins are located in an unbelievably beautiful location. When we travel back to the Healy Alaska again, we would stay there again.

Room Tip: No tv, so do not expect to sit and watch tv all day.

“Great Stay When Visiting Denali”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

Very nice and clean cabins. Only 20 min to get to the park. Joyce is very knowledgeable about the area and park. We had a wonderful time. I would get gas and pack enough snacks 100 miles before getting to the park area. They cost 2-3 times more.

“a little out of the way but good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

person found this review helpful

we stayed here during our tour of denali. it is a little out of the way but is way cheaper than the cabins around the park. Joyce is very nice and helpful. There is cereal and coffee each morning. the cabins dont have tvs are a lot of amneties but you are in alaska in a beautiful area, not there to watch tv.

we enjoyed our stay. it was very comfortable and reasonably priced. I would stay here again. just remember that it is a little further north from the entrance to the park and is without a lot of amneties but again , you arent there for the tv.

“Beautiful location and good advice from Joyce”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011

people found this review helpful

My husband and I loved the beautiful, wooded location of the Ridgetop Cabins. The driveway was not a problem for our small rental car and the accommodations were fine. We enjoyed chatting with Joyce and John and were grateful that Joyce persuaded us to take the Denali shuttle bus to the Eielson Visitor Center. We had almost decided not to do it because eight hours on a bus did not sound appealing. Joyce explained that the bus would stop frequently, the scenery would be beautiful and she was sure we would not regret doing it. She was right! We would have missed seeing much of the park if we had not taken the bus. Altogether, we were pleased that we chose Ridgetop Cabins for our three-day stay in the Denali area.

“Really nice place.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Really good experience, from phone interaction making reservations all the way through. I was late making reservations, so got the last two available rooms, which unfortunately were in two different cabins. John and Joyce made it easy by offering to move our stuff for us while we were at the park. Joyce also made arrangements for us to pick up breakfast goodies since our 6am shuttle meant leaving well before breakfast hour.

First cabin was a bit small, but very cozy, clean and appealing. We returned the next evening to the other cabin and found all our stuff moved as promised, and a note informing us that good Northern Lights viewing was expected that night in case we wanted to get up at 2am to see it. The second cabin was a larger 2 BR unit that was also quite nicely done.

Both were clean, fresh towels and linens, and plenty of hot water. We enjoyed breakfast at the breakfast nook the next morning, chatting with the owners learning much about their Alaska experience.

Overall great place - would definitely go back.
caveats: We had a rental car, so the distance from Denali Park entrance was not a factor for us. Also, Bing (navigation on my cell phone) didn't get the location quite right - it was a little further north. Third, it is back off the road - seemed like a mile but probably less of dirt/stone driveway. Depending on your outlook it may be part of the appeal.

Room Tip: They have different size cabins - ask Joyce to describe in more detail if you're not sure.
