About this property
McKinley Creekside Cabins & Cafe'-The Carlo Loft
laska—and Denali in particular (we’ll admit we’re a little biased!)—is an amazing, vast, and majestic wilderness paradise. We’re honored that you’re considering McKinley Creekside Cabins & Café and our Carlo Property for your stay. We’ll do our very best to give you all the information you need to plan an unforgettable adventure and answer any questions along the way.
The Carlo Loft is located just 15 minutes south of Denali National Park on a beautiful three-acre wooded property. It’s perfect for couples, families, or small groups who want to be close to the park but away from the crowds—while still enjoying the comforts and amenities of home. The Loft is just a 5-minute walk from our main property, McKinley Creekside Cabins & Café, and complimentary Wi-Fi is included.
This 420 sq/ft studio apartment features a king bed, full private bath, fully equipped kitchen (stove, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster), and a smart TV. A small private deck offers lovely mountain views—ideal for morning coffee or a quiet evening wind-down.
A $39 cleaning fee will be applied to your reservation. At checkout, we ask that you remove all trash to the on-site dumpster, wash and put away dishes, and wipe down kitchen, stove, refrigerator, and counters.
Guests also enjoy easy access to The Creekside Café, our full-service restaurant & Bakery on the main property, open mid-May through mid-September. We serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all made fresh in-house.
This unit is on the second floor with two tiers of stairs.

Great stay
We absolutely loved our three nights at Carlo Loft! The studio was in a quiet, private and convenient location. It was just a 10-minute walk to the McKinley Creekside Cafe which serves great meals and only a 15-minute drive to Denali National Park. It was extremely clean, nicely decorated, and was well-stocked with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable although you had to be careful not to bump your head on the slanted wall. If you plan to visit the Denali area, we highly recommend the Carlo Loft!
