Perfect Getaway

King’s Deer was ideally located for everything we wanted to do. Access to Denali National Park was quick and easy and there were plenty of good places to eat. The lodge itself was very clean, well maintained and sufficiently large for our 10 member family. The owners treated us well and responded quickly to every question. We had a marvelous time.

Amazing Place

The property is beautiful - secluded and private yet close to everything in Denali. There was plenty of room and space for our large group (from ages 11 months to 60), and the home had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Only wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be staying here again if/when we are back to visit Denali.
