It’s a little rustic, but comfortable, and all your needs are met. The views of the mountains are incredible and the staff was very friendly. The beds are also comfortable.

If you want a very remote location, this is the perfect place. We had a deluxe cabin, so we had a bathroom. Also a microwave and a mini fridge. Comfy beds, near an excellent pizza place. But not close to Denali Park at all. And it's an expensive shuttle back and forth.

This was one of the few properties in the Denali area that had rooms with separate sleeping areas. Unfortunately, one was a loft, with a ladder that was less than convenient. The room was small, and was little more than just a place to spend the night. Not knowing the area, I chose this place. And all in all, for a one-night stay after a rafting trip, if you were a single person, or a couple, this wouldn’t be terrible. And the friendliness of the staff was exceptional. But I generally most enjoy upscale experiences, and this certainly wasn’t that. But, were the circumstances different - namely, that I was on my own - I might very well choose Perch again. But not sharing a single cabin with a friend. That ladder is not made for an overweight 60-year-old.
