Accommodations Inside Denali National Park

Welcome to the Kantishna Roadhouse, a full-service lodge located deep in the heart of Alaska's majestic Denali National Park & Preserve.

We invite you to spend your Alaskan vacation viewing Denali National Park’s wildlife and breathtaking wilderness while relaxing in this beautiful lodge. The Kantishna Roadhouse features deluxe rustic cabin accommodations, all meals and snacks during your stay, abundant daily guided (and self-guided) activities and tours, and hosted evening naturalist programs. The lodge grounds also boast ample space to find both solitude and adventure.

The Kantishna Roadhouse has a longstanding Alaskan tradition of hospitality. The original roadhouse was built in the early 1900s, serving as a private residence, a community center, a post office, and informal accommodations for those who came visiting Kantishna in Denali Park. Many nights were spent spinning tales of the Alaskan trail over a hot cup of coffee and a hearty meal. You can still see the old log structure and other remnants of the past at the back of the property.

Today, talk of the trail continues, but in more modern and comfortable surroundings. You will experience the “trail,” the Denali Park Road, on your way to and from the lodge. During your six-hour bus tour through 95 miles of wilderness, your naturalist driver/guide will help you search for bears, caribou, Dall sheep, wolves, and moose while explaining the geologic history of the park.

Through years of hard work, Kantishna Roadhouse has evolved from a gold miner's tent camp into a modern Alaskan resort with a rustic flavor. The antique mining equipment and design of the main lodge give character to the roadhouse. The log cabins have two or four guest rooms per building, each with two beds and a private bathroom. Two rooms are handicapped accessible (one king bed). The cabins are spread through the woods, providing more of a wilderness setting.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily at the main lodge, although you can pack a lunch in the morning to take on an excursion, if you prefer. Choose your activities each day. Easy, moderate, and strenuous guided hikes are offered, as well as unguided mountain biking, fishing, and gold panning. Each evening, you have the opportunity to learn more about this amazing national park at a naturalist presentation. Many visitors also enjoy relaxing by the creek with a book from the Alaskan library as they remember a time when life moved a slower pace.
