Denali Touch of Wilderness

Pleasant and comfortable. Lots of things to do. Nice and clean. We enjoyed it. The food close by was lovely. I would definitely try this again. It was fun. Not the most wonderful place but it was sufficient. My husband thought the bed was too hard, but I thought it was just fine.

I visited this BNB a few years back and it was the highlight of my visit to Alaska. I reviewed this BNB as "Heaven". This was why I came here again for some R&R - I am a nurse and have worked very hard during the pandemic. I came with my daughter to enjoy Denali and relax. I gave this place three stars for the beautiful view and soft bed. The bed is great, but is against the window so you can't look outside while lying there, nor open the window. The view from the common area is lovely as well. However, right from the start I knew the place had been sold. Fresh baked goodies was replaced by nothing. A warm fire on my first arrival, now cold and unlit. My room had two, small, worn Target-looking towels to match the tacky, fibro shower I would expect to see in an RV, not a bed and breakfast. We stayed for two nights and the bed was not made up - I expected this service as BNB's have always make up the room. But worse, the audacity of leaving an envelope for a tip?? Plastic and paper now the norm here (not very good for the "wilderness"), where once pottery and stainless cutlery prevailed. No ice for a drink, no knives to cut up some cheese and signs everywhere telling me everything I couldn't do. If you are not into a very fancy, or even a mediocre breakfast, then this is the place for you. Bacon quiche was left in the fridge to microwave. What happens if you are vegetarian, vegan, Jewish or Muslim? Too bad man. That's breakfast. Oh yes, sorry, also some COSCO muffins and a small choice of two cereals. A few years back, breakfast was cooked, fresh muffins baked, bagels offered, and you could take lunch out for your adventures of the day. I think the most unfortunate aspect of this place, is the coldness. Where once welcoming and warm, is now an empty feeling. The Bates hotel appears to offer more hospitality. If warm and fuzzy is your thing, then this is not the place for you.
