After a subpar stay in Anchorage, I loved my stay at Denali Lakeview Inn so much, I honestly did not want to leave and wish I had an extra night. They originally did not have all 3 nights available in one room so I booked one night in one and two nights in another. Before we left, we were advised that the Alaska room had opened up for all 3 of our nights and we were upgraded for no additional charge so we didn't have to move. The Alaska room is the largest one they have and is so spacious that it spanned the whole middle portion of that building. Breakfast for the entire stay is left in the fridge in the room so you can mix and match your juices, pastries, etc.. The beds were comfortable and the views were spectacular that we saw more moose out of our room window than we did in Denali. I stayed up two nights in a row watching them, the first night, right outside our window where if I went downstairs, I would've been within that 50 feet of personal space we are supposed to give them. The following day, I saw them in the distance in the afternoon with their babies and that night a show with 5 moose in total including a lake crossing to our side. I enjoyed our last morning just sitting in our room enjoying the view before checking out, it was so beautiful. If it wasn't so windy, I would've love to take the kayak out to explore the lake. read more

Wow, we just had the BEST stay there! What a beautiful and inviting place to stay! The views of the mountains and lake were truly breathtaking. We saw moose every day just walking along the water, and the staff was so kind and helpful. The rooms were very clean, and every room looks out at the lake. Even tho we had the room right by the lobby, it was quiet and relaxing. It really felt like we were staying in someone's home instead of a hotel. We arrived to fresh baked bread pudding! Thank you, we will absolutely stay here on our next visit back to Alaska. read more

Denali Lakeview Inn - Our nightly view - just wow - Hotels Near Me - Healy, Alaska

INCREDIBLE stay at the Lakeview Inn. I lucked out finding this place randomly through an Instagram comment. We stayed in the Moon Dream room. We had a gorgeous view of frozen over Lake Otto with mountains all around us. We were spoiled with the Aurora Borealis putting on a show. Everything was clean, there were board games we could take to our room, we had all sorts of snacks and drinks and breakfast in our room with a fridge, microwave, utensils and a set dining table. Nice washer and dryer with soap and dryer sheets for $2 a load. We explored the property and walked around and on the lake. Very easy check in and check out process. Would absolutely come back and will definitely recommend:) read more

Darrel & Tara are the absolute hands up best hosts. Wife and I had the most amazing time and experience here at Otto Lake with the Lakeview Inn Folks. Room was perfect over looking the lake and access to the dock was easy and bon fire with unlimited wood. We saw swans moose and lots of wolf tracks along with the grand finale was the epic northern lights dancing in the sky. We loved our stay it was perfect. Thank you so very much for making us O'ahuans stoked beyond measure. Aloha an we will be back for sure. Only bummer is we had only one night here.. stay a week if we could. read more

Words simply cannot describe this heavenly place! From the moment we turned into the driveway, we saw the lake, and when we got to our room, our lake view was awesome! Flo, our check-in lady welcomed us and gave us several recommendations for our stay. Alicia, the next day, and Brecken, on our last day, were equally friendly and helpful. When we stepped into our room, Moon Dream, we found all the comforts of home. The king-size bed was comfortable and positioned with a great view of the lake and mountains. The bathroom was supplied with all the amenities we might need, including a jetted tub and luxurious towels. Our hosts had filled the small fridge with more breakfast goodies than we could eat - cereal, hard-boiled eggs, apples, oranges, muffins, raisin bread, various juices and milk. (And freshly baked brownies or cookies greeted us on our return to the room after each day's activities.) Being located only 20 miutes from Denali National Park was such a convenience. And several good restaurants were even closer to the inn. We saw a mama and baby moose one morning on the grounds and, even though the skies were cloudy two out of three days, we got to see the aurora (bucket list item!). Best place we have ever stayed! read more

We enjoyed our 2-night stay the first week of August! It doesn't look like much from the parking lot.... and then you get into your room and look out of the windows at the mountains and Otto lake. Spectacular! We got lucky and got the Alaska room. It's Homey and Cozey. It's located next to the check-in office and doesn't require doing any stairs. (Other than the little porch stairs outside.) There were 2 other rooms next to ours on the same side/floor. Then upstairs there were some rooms and downstairs there were a few rooms. The property is a lot bigger than it seems. Our room - the Alaska room - shared a long balcony with the other 2 rooms on our level. No big deal since the people staying in them were our tour drivers. It was nice to just chill and hang out for a little bit after a long day. While we were visiting the area, it was quite warm. Like unseasonably warm. Like turn on all the fans and open all the windows and doors warm (because there is no A/C) and sleep with everything open in hopes of cooling down. Because our room was large, we had big picture windows. We made the mistake of leaving the blinds up while we were out during the day. The room was a sauna when we got back at 10pm even though we left the ceiling fans running. Live and Learn. Shoulda put the blinds down. The room itself is nice. Not fancy, not run down. It's comfortable. I wish we could have stayed a couple more nights. The Alaska room boasts a FULL kitchen. Like Full Full.... there are cupboards of utensils, pans, dishes, supplies and goodies as well as a stove, full size fridge, microwave, coffeemaker and toaster. I think people stay here and then leave whatever they don't eat (non-perishable, of course) for future guests because there were at least 2 huge Costco sized jars of peanut butter, packages of pasta, pasta sauce, beans, all kinds of canned goods, hot cocoa mix and packets of popcorn. The Inn provides your breakfast in your room. It's a simple breakfast, but really good IMO. I mean..... I liked it since it was / is very similar to what I normally eat in the morning. In fact, it's more than what I normally eat. We were there 2 nights so there were 2 full plates in the fridge for us - one for each morning. Each plate consisted off: Cinnamon raisin bread - we made toast 1 huge orange - super sweet 2 apples 2 hard boiled eggs 2 muffins 2 containers of grapefruit segments plus juice, milk and coffee and whatever else was in the cupboards - I found some cereal The property sits on a lake, and they have a couple of kayaks that you can take out for a spin. It's not a big lake. It's actually a man made lake that was made so that planes could land with supplies. The deepest part of the lake is 8'. They also have some fishing poles if you want to try fishing. There is also a little campfire ring near the water. Sadly, we were way too tired each night (and didn't get back until after 9pm each day) that we were not able to take advantage of a campfire. (I found marshmallows in one of the cupboards so we could have roasted some. Darn.) Mosquitoes were not too bad, however, I did get a couple bites. They love me, so I'm not surprised. We noticed the rooms on the ground floor each had a picnic table on their little patio. Oh... and the property does have a washer and dryer that works really well. If I remember correctly, it's $2 to wash and $2 to dry. Don't forget to clean the dryer lint box after you are done. The only eating place close by is the Black Diamond Grill. It's ok. I would not recommend it. I'd suggest grabbing something while you were out and about and bringing it back to the property to eat by the lake. Or... hit up the 49th State Brewing Company which is only about 3 miles away. read more

This visit was mixed, the last 200 yds of the road were full of pot holes, the drive from the road to the inn was unattractive with an ATV business on both sides. On the plus side we saw moose every day in the lake behind the inn. read more

This hotel has great views of the lake and mountains. We kept the curtains open all night (note this was winter). We booked this hotel to break up a winter drive to Fairbanks after a day in Anchorage for Iditarod and Rondy in March. We called to discuss a potential late arrival after 10 pm. The young women was great and explained the process. We asked about best rooms to view through out the night to get up and look for aurora sightings. We booked the midnight sun room (top floor). Arrival process after 10 pm was simple. We saw a small aurora on arrival. Our room outside porch deck was covered with snow so we used one of the shovels to clear it off. You need to leave your shoes you are wearing at the front door entrance do not to mess up the carpet throughout the hotel. Room was comfortable with extra blankets also. Shower water was nice snd hot which is great for below zero mornings. Breakfast was in the fridge when we arrived with fruit, muffins, instant oatmeal, hard boiled eggs and cereal. Our room had a table near the porch to eat setting down. Worked out well as we could eat while getting ready as the hotel has a 10 am check out time. Note once you book this hotel the first night is not refundable. This hotel didn't come up on bookings.com but did show up on trip advisor. We booked via the hotels website. This hotel is only a mile off the main highway so easy to get to the hotel. read more

OMG!! What a gem we found, love this location. The Lakeview is gorgeous and we got the best drone shots ever. It is perfectly located and the host is so polite and sweet! The breakfast was really well planned and we would come back here anyway!! read more

I thought this was the perfect place for viewing the northern lights. The room we stayed in overlooked the lake and the alaskan range, which was exactly where the lights start up so you can keep an eye on it from inside. I didn't see too much of the owners, but that's just fine by me. the place was nice and clean, and perfect for what I was looking for. Also the jacuzzi tub was really nice after a cold day. read more

Located 10 min from Denali park, this is a much better alternative than anything along "Glitter Gulch". We paid $114 a night, and stayed in a HUGE room with 2 super comfortable beds, complete with folded towel swans & breakfast in the fridge. Oh, did I mention the magnificent deck? Saw an incredible sunrise. Otto Road is pretty small and it may look a little sketchy driving in - it's not though and you'll forget about it once you see the gorgeous views from your room. read more

This is an absolute great find if you are looking for a place to stay near Denali National Park. Basically what you get is a room within a house and each room has a different theme (the one we had was purple caribou). The room even had its own private balcony off the back so that we could enjoy some fresh air while taking in the view of the lake. There is even a nice path so that you can walk down to the lake from the house. The rates here are very reasonable in comparison to a lot of the other hotels in the neighborhood...and you even get a decent breakfast delivered to your room included in the price. It isn't right in the heart of Denali if you want to be within walking distance of restaurants, but the "town" is really only a handful of shops and restaurants swarming with tourist buses anyways. I really liked being away from the hustle and bustle after spending a day in the park and this property is a quick drive to local restaurants and the entrance to Denali National Park. Will certainly be back if my travels take me back to the Denali area! read more

Definitely my place to stay when visiting denali national park. The lake view is excellent. read more

Denali Lakeview Inn - View from hotel balcony - Hotels Near Me - Healy, Alaska

Great location, excellent view. We stayed nights in three different rooms (misty lakes, spruce view and blue moose, blue moose being the best). Staff are very friendly, when you actually meet them, but that is not often. Entrance is confusingly via an ATV yard. Nobody greets you, and you check-in details are on a board. A simple breakfast is waiting for you in your room, so it is possible to arrive, stay and depart without seeing anybody. Is this a B&B (interior furnishings look like my great aunts place), or a boutique hotel (with strange rules like no shoes inside)? My parents would love this place... No pets, but be wary of noisy kids! read more

I've stayed here frequently over the last five years, and even recommended this hotel to others. Unfortunately, my most recent visit will be my last. My last two stays at Denali Lakeview Inn have been some of the worst nights I've ever spent in a hotel. Are you looking for a place where you can let your kids run wild, jump off beds, and slide down staircases until 1 AM? This is the place for you! Want to party on your balcony all night? This is the place for you! If you want a good night's rest that includes going to sleep before midnight, look elsewhere. read more

Really nice place to stay at. The owners and staff are super nice and it is a very clean place with really comfortable beds and atmosphere. 10/10 read more

The most wonderful experience. The rooms were clean, soft, and well taken care of. The view was of a lake and the mountains. She kept us fed with fresh things, juice, milk, and granola bars in our mini fridge. We went to see the Northern Lights and could see them while sitting in bed through the huge windows and over the mountains. The price for a room was unbeatable: $89 off-season. Plus, free wi-fi that worked great. We wanted to save some money so we bought food at the grocery store. The kitchen nook was fully stocked with everything you need: coffee maker, coffee, filters, tea bags, all sugars, hot cocoa, silverware, bowls and plates, toaster, microwave, mini-fridge. We arrived unannounced and they took us right in. We had a terrible rental car and couldn't get up their driveway through the inches of snow. All the staff came out, shoveled dirt, pushed, drove for us, and then towed us up the hill. Great people, great view, great location, great staff, and great price! read more

We stayed here for one night while traveling from Anchorage to Fairbanks. We stayed in the Alaska room, which had an amazing northeast view. We were able to see the northern lights from 2 AM through 4AM. It also had a beautiful sunrise in the morning. The family was extremely nice when we had questions. They left breakfast for us in the morning and otherwise we never saw anyone. If you are traveling when the roads are still snowy,I would suggest checking in with the owners if you are going to arrive after dark because our GPS didn't take us directly to the house and we didn't want to turn down a snow-covered road in our rental car. The owner of the B&B was extremely helpful and guided us right into the house when I called her. read more

We really enjoyed our stay. Interesting layout with unique individually styled rooms. We stayed in the purple caribou room and the bed was fantastic! I usually stay in Marriott hotels and this bed had them beat. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The view here is amazing with huge windows to enjoy the outdoors while warm inside! We missed the Aurora but would happily come again to try to catch it! Well with the money. Lovely staff and fun in room breakfast! read more

Adorable place just outside of Denali. Right on the lake with a great view and excellent set up. We were four people in the high cloud which was a fantastic suite, breakfast in the fridge, tons of towels, shampoo and extra thought put in. Somewhat hard to find but it was a great stay in a great b&b atmosphere. read more

Clean and comfortable rooms just out side of Denali national park.

Watch out! This is not what it seems. It is no better than a Motel 6. Don't stay here unless you have to. The picture is of a beautiful house over a lake. Instead you have to go through an ATV encampment to get there, the lake is three feet deep. Our room was so cramped we couldn't open the door unless we put our suitcases on the bed. Our private Jacuzzi and deck was a bathtub and the deck was a picnic table where we had to eat breakfast since there was not room in the room. We had our shoes outside and when it rained, they were soaked (as was the dirt road running in front of the room). The breakfast is no more than instant oatmeal, a hard boiled egg and toast. To add to my annoyance, when I got there, they said they would charge $20 for each of our two kids for each night for the 'breakfast'. I said we could go to the camp store and get eggs fruit and a full breakfast for $15. They had never mentioned this charge until we arrived. I talked with them about overcharging for 'breakfast' when I was there. They didn't care and billed me anyway. After emailing them for a month I decided to get go through my credit card company. Alas, I waited too long. We stayed at lovely places in Denali and all over Alaska that were cheaper, the people were nicer and the rooms and location were MUCH nicer. You have other choices. read more
