by Phil Corless
The best views of Denali are from the rooms and decks of this magnificent lodge set on a ridge high above the town of Talkeetna. Families will love the spacious suites, with various combinations of king and queen beds with queen sleeper sofas. Most of the suites have gas fireplaces, a refrigerator, coffeemaker and microwave. Other amenities include satellite TV, free Wi-Fi and Jacuzzi tub. Kids will love the gorgeous lodge with its 46-foot rock fireplace and collection of board games. There are multiple dining options, from the award-winning Foraker Restaurant to the casual Base Camp Bistro.
Located 2 miles south of Talkeetna’s main street, the lodge is surrounded by wilderness. There are hiking trails throughout the property for you to explore, admire the views and encounter wildlife. The lodge offers guided hikes each day, as well as fly fishing, gold panning and sled dog excursions. Rental bikes are available if you want to ride into town, or you can take the free shuttle to visit the quirky shops and restaurants of downtown Talkeetna, which is listed as a National Historic Site. Back at the lodge each night, kids will love sitting in rocking chairs near the fire, eating S’mores and taking in the panoramic views. With its charming luxury, stunning views and kid-friendly activities, the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge will be a big hit with your family on your vacation to Alaska.

We did the land tour with our cruise and were not sure of the places we were going to stay and I must say the Alaskan Lodge was amazing and beautiful, be careful on nature walks as moose and bear do enter the grounds but the Lodge post notices if they see any. The rooms are great and there are viewing windows with lounges on all floors, the food here isn't cheap but it is good quality food.

Loved our stay here. Great back patio to relax and view Denali. Room was pleasant and very clean. Only stayed one night, would have loved to stay longer. Food was delicious. We saw some signs on the doors that there was a Moma bear and cub sighted so watch out... but we never saw them. Loved this.
