Two queen…read morebeds, a fancy TV, a DVD player we couldn't get to work, a microwave, a coffee-maker, and a little table for 4. There is only the one window - the one in the front. The cabin was in a row of cabins, all right next to each other. I think they are brand new, because it smells like cut wood inside. There is free wi-fi. When you make your reservation, check for an e-mail from the owner a few days later. They will give you the cabin assignment and tell you how to get in. You cannot just show up and look for a person when you get there - they might not be at the property. You have to print out the e-mail, bring it with you, and get yourself checked in, independently. The location pretty good, geographically. It's near the entrance to Denali National Park, but somewhat removed from the touristy 'Glitter Gulch' strip. The cabins are rather crammed together, the narrow driveway between them is a confusing, one-way, figure 8, and I wouldn't call it a "beautiful" spot. But our cabin was clean, and comfortable, the post-and-beam look was pretty, and I thought providing postcards in the cabin was a nice idea. You're there to sleep, anyway. The pillows were nice. We slept well.

A very friendly family runs it. They've got an assortment of cabins. The cabins are "wet" (have running water and even a shower) and not too pricey, even in the summer. (around $200) They even include something you don't even find in hotels much these days: a fridge! We had the "Willow" cabin. The views were incredible. Again, the location makes you feel like you're all by yourself in the woods. I just wish they were open in the winter...

It's just a few miles away from Denali Nat'l Park entrance, so in just 10 minutes you're well away from the tourist crowd. The cabins are located in the hills overlooking the small town of Healy. Our cabin had everything we needed to be comfortable - small kitchen-ette with fridge and microwave, pots and pans, dishes and a BBQ on the little deck. We made a trip to the Three Bears grocery store (right down the hill) and had a great BBQ, made lunches for our Denali bus trip, and ate breakfast at the cabin each day. There's an incredible view of the Healy valley area right outside your door! When we arrived, there was a welcome letter waiting for us, and shortly after, owner Brad came to our cabin to welcome us. There's a wood-fired sauna, and although we didn't use it, Brad let us know we were welcome to try it out. My daughter especially enjoyed the candy jar - a "sweet" touch! On the road into the cabin, we passed the Denali Rafting office, so we popped in and signed up for a rafting trip. Cabin owners Brad & Kristen had sent us an email before our arrival that listed all of the things to do in the area as well. I would highly recommend Healy Heights Family Cabins. Thanks Brad and Kristen - we had an amazing vacation!

We stayed in a room where the height of the carpeting impeded the easy operation of the door. The bed was too large for the size of the room so there was no place for a nightstand to place your glasses or a bottle of water. There was very poor connectivity in the room. The room lighting was poor restricting reading and other activities to a small area near the window. Also, the interior of the venue was not traveler friendly. There were too many stairs to access bedrooms which required carrying your luggage to your room or pulling your roller bags up sets of stairs. The bottom landing of the main floor staircase was not flush with the floor which required visitors to step over the landing (think safety issue). The breakfast was mediocre at best. The proprietor (the father) had a smug and condescending style of communication. The first morning I was there, I awoke early and sat in the living room area working on a crossword puzzle. I peered outside and saw the proprietor urinate on a tree in the yard when he was letting the three dogs (one yappy and unfriendly) out for their morning business. He next appeared in the kitchen to start preparations for breakfast. Did he wash his hands? Needless to say, I only ate items prepared by his son Bart who was very personable.

I'm in a group of 5 that looked for lodging in Denali National Park back in mid-late July (and my…read moretrip was mid-late August), so nothing was available except Carlo Creek Cabins, and even most of their cabins were booked. We ended up getting Cabin 9, which is close to the office and therefore wifi, and Cabin A, which is quite far and has neither wifi, service, nor a private bathroom. The shared bathroom actually was clean and fine, but I hate how there's a light timer switch of 15 min maximum (I take 15-30 min showers when I wash my hair). Also, in the shower house I used closest to my room, only 1 of the 2 shower stalls had hot water. Another problem is the hours of the office and the shuttle (Denali Hostel & Cabins shuttle services Carlo Lodges, The Perch and Creekside which are extremely close by) don't really make sense with everything else going on in the park. For one, the Park Connection Motorcoach from Anchorage to Denali either arrives 12:30 pm or 8:30 pm. However, the Carlo Lodge Office is only open 8 to 11 am and 3 to 8 pm. When we arrived around 1 pm using their shuttle pickup, we literally had 2 hours of nothing to do there. We didn't have the wifi password at the time either. Second, some of the 8 am activities require you to be at Denali Cabins for pickup by 7 am. However, the shuttle itself arrives 7 am at Carlo Lodges. Lastly, they charge $20/person plus fees if you book online. For my group of 5, that means $106 each time ONE WAY to go anywhere. At least the restaurants nearby are pretty good. Creekside Cafe is the only one open every day from morning to night though lol.

Our room was not ready, but we were able to rent bear spray as soon as we arrived. Renting the bear spray is free as long as you return it. We were in room B3. This room is in the row next to the check-in lobby. When we checked in, they were able to assist us with any questions we had. They have cofee and tea in the check-in area. If you need to use a toaster, they also have one there. The room: As I said above, it was dated, but a good place to get some rest after a long day of hiking in Denali National Park. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The room did have a fridge and a microwave. We asked for an iron and an ironing board and it was provided. The restroom is small, but the sink is outside the restroom door. This works well when you are traveling with friends as you can shower and not Hold up anyone else from using the sink. The shower had hot water at all times. Water pressure was OK. The room also came with the TV. We didn't really watch it. I was surprised how dark it got in the room once we closed the shades. During the day, we did keep the shades open to let some light in. Do be aware the other people can see you, but we can also see the wildlife. We didn't see any big animals, but we saw plenty of bunnies and squirrels around the hotel. Parking is available on site and is pretty ample. The hotel is about 15 minutes from Denali national Park. It is about 10 minutes away from food. There is one restaurant the opposite direction of Denali that is by about five minutes away called 49th State brewing. It was probably one of our favorite. Just FYI, there is a lake called Otto lake on the same street as the hotel, but you do have to either walk down or drive down to it as it is surrounded by other businesses and homes. There is a public park and a pier. We did spend some time there and noted that people were kayaking, canoeing and swimming. In July, the lake water was not cold. Overall, don't expect luxury. Expect a clean, comfortable hotel room where you can shower and get a good night sleep. Expect super friendly staff that are more than willing to help and answer all questions
