The Runway House
2 Black Bear LN, Cantwell, AK 99729, United States – Great location - show map
Our host Cynthia was welcoming and friendly. It was as like staying with family .

The house is very clean and the bed is very comfortable. My friend and I had two wonderful night at the house.

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided a well stocked kitchen. You will share the house with two staff members but their welcoming attitude made our stay feel like we were visiting friends, making us feel like we were staying in a home away from home.

The hospitality, food. Kindnees and her restaurant bar. Cynthia & Her staff are awesome. Yea, I'd stay here again.

Breakfast options were varied and delicious. There was always a fresh pot of coffee waiting for us in the morning. Cynthia was very friendly! We enjoyed our chats with her and Norm. It was very homey and we would stay there again.

The owner/manager does a great job. Goes out of her way to make your say comfortable. Breakfast was ok. Bought gluten free bread for me to have. That was a fantastic jester.

The host was very accommodating and we enjoyed our stay! The rooms were big enough for two of us. And, we had plentiful options for breakfast in the morning. The surrounding views were an added bonus. I would visit again.

Visited this place for the 2nd time. It's a really great value for the money for Alaska - just believe me. Everything you need for a comfortable stay (including clean facilities, kitchen and nice common area), half-hour drive to Denali, amazing views. Next time visiting Denali - definitely staying here again.

Everything was awesome. The host was very nice. Location is about 30 minutes away from Denali National Park. Saw the Northern Lights at night right outside the building.

The check in was so easy and the setting very comfortable.
