Denali Backcountry Lodge

Our family of four lives the Backcountry Lodge! The remoteness and beauty of the surroundings was breathtaking! The naturalists who led out hikes were super knowledgeable and friendly. Thomas was amazing. The food and beverages were great, and although it’s a pricey endeavor it’s well worth it!

I really wish no one would find out about this gem, but I want the lodge and staff to be wildly successful. Our trip was incredible start to finish. The helicopter ride in is breathtaking we saw sheep and a moose. We picked wild blueberries on our first hike and the staff made me a special drink with them every night when I returned from our adventures. The guides were personable and engaging and knowledgeable. How can you go wrong, at one point there was a total with all staff and guests at all lodges of 60 people in the back half of the Denali National Park. We made lifelong friends with the guests. I cannot say enough about this experience.

The location is exceptional; the food was amazing; the guides for our hikes were incredibly knowledgeable without a trace of condescension; and everyone who works at DBL is helpful and attentive. Just be prepared for mosquitoes, fickle weather, and the possibility that you may not actually see Denali or any large animals (they're both fickle as well).

The All inclusive and Remote location of this property made for an exceptional trip! We hiked with naturalists and learned so much! The food was wonderful and the staff so attentive! We only wish we had stayed more than just 2 days!

Helicoptered in to great family vacation at cozy cabins! Delicious food, hiking for all levels, biking on beautiful road, kayaking, spa services available, happy hour with naturalists presentations, fantastic staff! Stay as active as you want or relax in screened porch with rocking chairs. Hot tub and saunas available for sore legs! Staff is fun, attentive, well versed on history, animals, and plants in Alaska. Great trip with adult kids!

We had a great experience at the Denali Backcountry Lodge. The food was excellent, the rooms were nice and clean and the activities were top notch. Hiking was awesome and the views of Denali were glorious. My only complaint would be the cost...it was a bit expensive for only 2 nights

DBL staff and property exceeded our expectations for being so remote. Comfortable sleeping / showers and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and will do anything you ask to make your stay your own experience! Naturalist Kenneth was a pleasure to hike with. The lodge staff so pleasant. Dave the bartender was aces !! Food and deserts fantastic !!! If you are looking to get away from the crowds this is the 5 star place

We had an amazing trip. the lodge is in the backcountry of denali and is only accessible by helicopter so it felt like we had the park all to ourselves. when we got there we were met with welcoming staff, great service, clean rooms and great food. everyone here was so nice and welcoming and made the experience feel very personal. there were many activities to choose from including bike rides, hikes, kayaks, etc. there’s also a great private sauna. it was an amazing way to experience denali national park. It was an unforgettable trip that i would absolutely recommend.
