We booked a three night stay at Deneki Lakes Bed and Breakfast for our visit to Denali National Park and Preserve. We could not have been happier with our decision to stay with Marianne at her Bed and Breakfast! The setting was idyllic, with beautiful views from each and every window of the forest and mountains. The house and rooms were bright, airy, very comfortable, and very clean. Fritz and Marianne clearly thought everything through carefully in preparing their home for guests. Marianne's breakfasts were to die for and her willingness to prepare a wonderful salmon sandwich lunch at a modest cost for our day long bus trip to see Denali was an added bonus to the stay. On top of that, Marianne is a wonderful person, extremely friendly, welcoming, and interested in making sure our stay was enjoyable and comfortable.
The location of Deneki Lakes Bed and Breakfast is 10 miles south of the Park entrance, but sufficiently close by to make it easy to get to and from the Park by car. That also put us far enough from the hubbub of the park and the nearby community to make the stay even more peaceful and relaxing. In addition, there are restaurants a short drive from the B & B or in the Park community so we never really had to worry about finding something to eat for dinner. We can't recommend Deneki Lakes Bed and Breakfast enough for anyone wishing to spend time at Denali!
Thank you, Marianne and Fritz!
