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. From the Great Room in the main lodge, admire the tallest peak in North America. Or enjoy local cuisine, adventures and activities — all at this remote Alaska lodge offering a true wilderness retreat.
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.

Or land on a glacier, by plane or helicopter, for a hike that only those lucky enough get to experience.
