One of our most popular lodges in Alaska, Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge®, is only 40 miles from Denali and two hours south of the entrance to Denali National Park.

Or enjoy local cuisine, adventures and activities — all at this remote Alaska lodge offering a true wilderness retreat.
Alaska Lodge Amenities & Activities
Our Alaska wilderness lodges combine the conveniences of home with the unique experiences found only in Alaska. Discover the unique experiences this lodge offers.
Treehouse
High above the trees surrounding your Alaska lodge you’ll find the treehouse, donning unobstructed views of Denali and the Alaska Range. After sharing the construction and design on a recent season of Animal Planet’s Treehouse Masters, we are excited to invite guests to delight in the surroundings from the deck, admire the rustic interior and partake in expert-crafted activities.
Amenities
Explore what Alaska has to offer while reveling in the comforts of home with our unique Alaska wilderness lodge amenities. Grab a coffee from the espresso bar, then relax fireside in the main lodge. Head outside and roast marshmallows, or take a dip in the hot tub. Be sure to visit former bush pilot Cliff Hudson’s restored plane on site and hear stories of the climbers he used to fly directly to Denali.
Activities
Our lodges in Alaska bring the history and culture of the Great Land directly to you. Attend a photosymphony show of the Aurora Borealis set to classical music, or spend the afternoon learning about the park from Denali State Park naturalists. In the treehouse, enjoy birch syrup-tasting parties or test your knowledge during Denali-themed trivia.
Excursions
Travel through the wilderness with our one-of-a-kind Alaska lodge excursions. Take a seaplane through the Great Gorge, and venture into the remote backcountry for the ultimate Denali hike. Horseback ride through trails with a knowledgeable guide, and pan for gold during a narrated tour of a historical mining area. Or land on a glacier, by plane or helicopter, for a hike that only those lucky enough get to experience.
