I love this place!

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.

I had a wonderful stay. I booked this place to join the Denali Tundra Wilderness Tour, and everything exceeded my expectations. The room was clean, the view from the window was amazing, and the shower had great water pressure. The staff at the office were all kind and helpful. Thank you very much!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lodge during our trip to Denali National Park. We had a riverside room and the view from our balcony was incredible. The room was very clean, comfortable and just a very short drive to the park entrance. On the downside, the room did not have a refrigerator or microwave. The wi-fi is free for 30 minutes but after that you have to pay an additional charge and we had virtually no cell service with Verizon. This was not a problem for us since our purpose was to enjoy the outdoors and visit Denali. We would absolutely stay there again.
