I absolutely love this place, and hope that some day I can go back. The cabins are fantastic. The little deli/coffee shop is great. The owners are fantastic, and so helpful, and the guy who runs the place is from my home state of New Jersey!

We had such a wonderful time. The owners are very knowledgeable, and the lodge is set out on a clearing, overlooking a beautiful mountain range. There is no more beautiful place in the world than where Earthsong is. I envy the owners for getting to live there year round!

It's a short drive into Denali, there's some dude that owns horses in the proximity of Earthsong, and there is plenty to do. I can't even really emphasize how incredible this place is. I'll never forget staying here -- I travel a lot, too, but staying here was the ultimate adventure: it was beautiful, and relaxing, and there is plenty to do. The little cabins are charming, the beds are comfortable and the place is 100% Alaska.

While looking for a special place to stay in Denali, my wife and I "stumbled upon" EarthSong Lodge while searching TripAdvisor. With a minor change to our itinerary and some helpful juggling of cabins by owners Jon and Karen Nierenberg, we booked a three night stay at EarthSong — and we couldn't have been happier.

The location was exactly what we wanted, slightly off the beaten path, away from the commercial "glitz" of downtown Denali, and smack dab in the middle of true Alaskan beauty. The 25-minute drive from EarthSong to Denali National Park is spectacular, so don't be put off by its slightly "distant" location.

The log cabins themselves were incredibly cozy and comfortable, individually themed with accompanying decor designed by Karen. While not grand in size, they were just the degree of rustic-ness and comfort that we were after. Definitely an exceptional value.

A side bonus to lodging here is the dogsledding operation that Jon runs out of EarthSong. While obviously not operational in the summertime, Jon offers lodge guests friendly and informative tours of the kennels. Besides being full of interesting tales of his sledding adventures, Jon is great with the guests and no question is ever too dumb to be answered with enthusiasm and respect. We were fortunate in our timing in that we had a chance to get up close and personal with a recent litter of husky pups. My wife darn near pocketed one of the adorable pups.

We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights at EarthSong Lodge and would go back in a heartbeat. Jon and Karen were exceptionally friendly and accommodating hosts — Jon also presents a slideshow each night above Henry's Café, the lodge dining facility — and we left feeling like we had spent three days living a true Alaskan experience. If you're heading to Denali, we can't imagine a better place to stay.

This is a nice enough place to stay, clean little cabin-style rooms but there isn't even a coffee pot in the room and you can't rely on the on-sight cafe to be open. We were there for 3 nights and only found it open 1 morning; it was never open for an evening meal. There is almost nothing in Healy except bad food and high prices. The waitress at Rosie's diner was a delight but the food was abominable.
Of course Denali is worth the trip even if you have to suffer a little bit to see it - just be prepared, bring your own snacks and meals if possible!

These are great cabins for travelers just outside the Denali park area. It was depressing to drive through the park entrance and to see the Glitter Gulch touristy hotels, restaurants, and cheap stores. But, when we drove up to the Earthsong Lodge, just north of the entrance, we felt so lucky. It's an awesome, easy drive to get to the cabins and Henry's coffeehouse. All of the staff were extremely friendly and hospitable. Michelle gave us a great tour of the dog kennels and the boys in the coffeehouse made us some great meals. Be sure to have them pack you a lunch for your trip into the Denali park. The cabins are so cozy and individualized. They were extremely clean and well maintained. We loved the little walkways between the cabins and just the whole layout of the lodge!! I would highly recommend this place to any traveler up in this area.
