Beautiful lodge with nice common areas and walking trails to spend time. Our only disappointment was that they were out of a few key items when we went for breakfast in the restaurant.

Wonderful, top-shelf accommodations. Clean, large room. Quiet. Delicious food at the Two Rivers Restaurant (dinner and breakfast) with amazingly fast service. Staff very friendly and professional. The grounds were immaculate with beautiful landscaping. Someone on staff prepared a personalized (hand drawn) poster for me, "celebrating" that my visit there was to see and explore my 58th national park (Wrangell-St. Elias). It was placed on one of the beds in our room. That was over-the-top delightful!

We would definitely stay here again. Good linens & bed, small A/C which we didn't need as there's a ceiling fan, box fan and you can open the window. Restaurant was expensive as other places in AK. We enjoyed having a bar and gift shop. Views were beautiful on the property. Stayed two nights and wish we had stayed another night.
