    The beds were a bit uncomfortable, but only if you are sharing a bed with someone else. And it was pretty minor, we still slept fine!

    I loved the location (close to Denali), the views, and the fact there was a place to eat nearby.

    I had a bad fall in the bathroom because the shower is a long step up from the bathroom floor, which I didn’t notice as I was stepping down out of it, and I fell to the floor, hitting my side and the back of my head against the bathroom door. I should’ve been more careful, but it would’ve been nice if there had been some warning sign about the big step down. The outside is also badly in need of painting, but the inside was fine and well-maintained.

    The location is fantastic only 20 miles from Denali national park and is pleasant in the trees with a view of the mountains and a creek nearby. They even had a microwave and small fridge, which I did not expect. there are picnic tables outside if the weather is good. The parking is a little small but worked OK since there weren’t that many guests. it is the perfect place to stay if you are coming from the Anchorage direction and don’t want to stay in the more expensive lodges at Denali.

    We were only there one night, and had to book last minute because of a nightmare situation at the place we'd originally booked. However, even though it was last minute, there were no issues or problems. It was the end of the tourist season, so we checked in at the restaurant on the property, but they gave us good directions and we found our cabin no problem. It was as you'd imagine inside: everything you need, not much that you don't. We were mostly just happy that we'd found a place to stay that had room for four adults (the place we had to vacate said there was beds for 4 adults, but only have 3, and was so tiny there wasn't even room to sleep on the floor). The property itself seemed quite pretty and interesting and we would have explored if we'd had time. all in all a great place!

    Loved the Perch. Would have gotten a perfect score though both the toilet and refrigerator in the room leaked. Also, staff not the most personable. Didn't even remember who I was when I came back a few hours after check-in to make a dinner reservation. Dinner was absolutely outstanding though! Facility was otherwise great, gorgeous setting and location. a little rustic, on a beautiful creek.

    That the twin bed was in a loft. The ladder is straight up. When I booked it did not say loft.

    The sound of the creek near by. The room was very clean.

    Good location - close to the park, quiet and there is also a nice restaurant nearby (McKinley Creekside Cafe), that is good for breakfasts, dinners and lunches to-go. Wifi is great - probably the best we had during our trip.

    the restrooms should be cleaned more thoroughly.

    the beautiful location near the river, the warm hospitality, the proximity to restaurants and to Denali NP, the relatively cozy cabins.
