Pleasant and comfortable. Lots of things to do. Nice and clean. We enjoyed it. The food close by was lovely. I would definitely try this again. It was fun. Not the most wonderful place but it was sufficient. My husband thought the bed was too hard, but I thought it was just fine.

My husband and I stayed in the southwestern themed room with 2 year old son. There are two separate living rooms with games, movies, and wood burning stoves that were perfect to allow our son to play while while we relaxed. The facility is VERY clean and while the decorations look older from the photos everything is very well made and quality. The facility is fairly remote, but close to town and breakfast was served each morning except sunday. Breakfast was a single menu item, but still pretty good. Highly recommend this facility to others who are traveling.

Super friendly staff from setting up our reservation through breakfast and checkout. We got there late, and they had a note on the door with all the info we need to get into our room. They accommodated our dietary restrictions (vegetarian) without an issue, and the food was enjoyable.

The room was clean and attractive, and the hotel, while fully booked was quiet.

Definitely would come back if we make it back to Denali.

We were here for three days while visiting Denali. We loved the location which is just 10 minutes from the park entrance but away from that busy area. Our room was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed breakfast every day. There are several sitting rooms with books and games, although we were mostly at the park so we didn't need much other entertainment. We never met the owners but the woman serving breakfast was very helpful and kind. The rooms aren't large but again we were rarely there, and there were plenty of other places to sit. We loved that they had a salt lick that attracted moose every evening we were there.

We stayed three days here and enjoyed it very well. We saw moose several times in this area but not at the inn. Our first morning we had the continental (to go) breakfast as we were going very early into the park. It was very nice. The next two days we had very good hot breakfasts in the main dining area and enjoyed conversations with our fellow travelers. It was about 15 minutes of easy driving and not too far from the main highway. The inn has several common rooms very well equipped.

What a magnificent stay we experienced at Touch of Wilderness! We can’t recommend this B&B enough. From the beautiful, clean rooms..to the kind-hearted staff..to the scrumptious breakfasts..to the unique tokens of Alaskan culture displayed in the B&B - we are so grateful to have had Touch of Wilderness as our home away from home while visiting Denali. Thank you Valerie and Nichole for providing us with such a lovely experience! We truly appreciate you and your generosity!

I visited this BNB a few years back and it was the highlight of my visit to Alaska. I reviewed this BNB as "Heaven". This was why I came here again for some R&R - I am a nurse and have worked very hard during the pandemic. I came with my daughter to enjoy Denali and relax. ||I gave this place three stars for the beautiful view and soft bed. ||The bed is great, but is against the window so you can't look outside while lying there, nor open the window. The view from the common area is lovely as well. However, right from the start I knew the place had been sold. Fresh baked goodies was replaced by nothing. A warm fire on my first arrival, now cold and unlit. My room had two, small, worn Target-looking towels to match the tacky, fibro shower I would expect to see in an RV, not a bed and breakfast. We stayed for two nights and the bed was not made up - I expected this service as BNB's have always make up the room. But worse, the audacity of leaving an envelope for a tip Plastic and paper now the norm here (not very good for the "wilderness"), where once pottery and stainless cutlery prevailed. No ice for a drink, no knives to cut up some cheese and signs everywhere telling me everything I couldn't do. If you are not into a very fancy, or even a mediocre breakfast, then this is the place for you. Bacon quiche was left in the fridge to microwave. What happens if you are vegetarian, vegan, Jewish or Muslim? Too bad man. That's breakfast. Oh yes, sorry, also some COSCO muffins and a small choice of two cereals. A few years back, breakfast was cooked, fresh muffins baked, bagels offered, and you could take lunch out for your adventures of the day. I think the most unfortunate aspect of this place, is the coldness. Where once welcoming and warm, is now an empty feeling. The Bates hotel appears to offer more hospitality. If warm and fuzzy is your thing, then this is not the place for you.

Very nice place. Beautiful view of the mountains when there were no clouds. Room was very clean, along with the rest of the areas. Very nice common room to just sit and read or even watch TV if you wanted. They had a salt lick that could be seen from the window that moose often visit, unfortunately not during our stay.
