5 out of 5 … the restaurant is one of the best I’ve ever eaten in. We’ve eaten in the best in Anchorage, DC, Hawaii, Seattle etc….the menu, the food the people are amazing. “Bacon” the bartender treated us to on the fly hand crafted cocktails the best we’ve ever had. We had a pasta dish and the pasta is made daily! The Beef tenderloin was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Finally…deviled eggs! Salmon deviled eggs with house made spicy mustard. OMG!!

Perfection in the middle of nowhere

Stayed two days as part of an Alaska Bike trip. Quaint, well equipped cabin and a lovely restaurant. Unexpected pleasure this far out into the wild. The restaurant had well-prepared local seafood and the bartender introduced me to a limited-edition version of my favorite gin. Would go back.

Charming stay

And the ladder to the loft is quite steep. But everything else makes up for this. Cabins include frig, microwave & one-cup coffee pot. But you really need to go up to the office and have breakfast against a lovely scenic background...especially if weather is nice enough to use the deck.

Cabins' smaller bed encourages snuggling

My husband and I stayed here for a night over Memorial Day weekend. We stayed in one of the deluxe green cabins. It was clean, cozy, and comfortable. Note: the deluxe green cabins have a bathroom in them,  the cabins right on the creek are dry, and the bathroom is shared with the other dry cabins, its adjacent to the dry cabins up a little ramp (and its an indoor bathroom not an outhouse). The deluxe cabin is small, but perfect  for 2 or 3 people! Staff was friendly  and helpful. The grounds are really nice, its a quick walk to the creek and theres some cute dogs that live on the property. The Panorama pizza pub was incredible and right on the property, highly recommend the "dirty  hippy" pizza. The Perch restaurant  was closed due to their reduced tourist season due to COVID but we really want to try it someday. We ended up booking  another stay in one of their dry cabins for later this summer. If there's any Alaskans reading this that want a great place to stay this summer I highly  recommend  the Perch! Also recommend  to any tourists that want to stay near Denali!

Wonderful stay close to Denali

It is hard to find a good hotel around denali national park, but the Perch is the one. I stayed in the perch for 2 nights. The location is pretty nice, 15min drive away from denali bus station. There is a pizza bar right next to the hotel, you can find some comfort food there, even in late night.

The room was clean and comfortable, with heating inside. The wifi has good strength, and heater was keeping the room in good temperature.

When I left, I forgot my camera in the hotel room. I did not realize that until the hotel called my phone on my way to anchorage. We had already driven 3 hours so I asked if the Perch could kindly mail my camera back to New Jersey, and they said yes! one week later I received my camera at home. I could not thank them more.

very nice hotel

Cute cabins that are family-owned and run. Comfortable beds, beautiful quilts, equipped with small fridge and microwave. Tiny bathrooms. Somewhat clean (shower was a little gross). Wifi that works most of the time. Restaurant on site for breakfast and close to a pizza restaurant and cafe.

Cute, comfortable cabins

I struggled between average & below average for the #6 rustic cabin we rented.
The positives was:
- Pretty clean inside.
- Pretty clean bathrooms & showers.  Plus nice to have extra towels in the shower area.
- Okay price, although at $146.25 I thought was a bit expensive for what we got.
- Although we only had two people the cabin had a bed in an upper loft area.
Some lower rating (not saying negatives, just should be considered):
- A little walk to the bathroom at night especially with a warning of a bear sighting the week before.
- Only two toliets and showers which on a couple occasions I had to wait due to being used.  It seems for the amount of cabins using the facility they need more of each.
- Screens on the one window did not inspire much confidence of keeping an animal out.
- Could not get the WiFi to work. Would connect for 30 seconds and then blink out.  Would check in say an hour and would connect again and blick out immediatly.  At one point I did long in to the different company with cabins acoss the creek with a much stronger signal.
- Need more lights inside the cabin.  Pretty overall dark.
- Door had to be slammed hard to close.  It closed and locked but your out with cabins around you having to pull hard & slam a door to close.  I felt bad for the other cabins nearby.
Again, nothing horrible, but be aware you are getting what you pay for.

Okay for the price / location

We booked one night here. Being the last minute (and not wanting to spend a million dollars), our options were limited so we took a chance on The Perch. The reviews were mixed, to say the least, so I was a bit hesitant about what we'd be getting ourselves into. We ended up booking room #8-a duplex. The room was clean, with 2 comfortable double beds. The bathroom was simple with a toilet, tub and shower. Shampoo, conditioner and soap were provided-as was a hair dryer and small coffee pot. The room does not have an air conditioner, microwave or refrigerator. It does have a small tv. The room was quite warm and muggy, however, a fan was provided that took care of cooling things down a bit. We walked around the property and enjoyed the peaceful setting next to the creek. Overall, our stay was pleasant. Yes, it was a little rustic (and odd that we had to check in at the bar/office in the restaurant) but overall, it was fine and suited our needs well for the night.

Better than I expected

The folks here were friendly and our "cabin" was situated on a nice creek;  but the "cabin" was hardly adequate. It was a quickly thrown up modular with people next door that you could hear snore and running around in the morning. The bed was awful: old and lumpy. I ended up sleeping on the day bed as it wasn't quite as bad. It was quiet at least. Not worth the $250 or therabouts it cost us.

Cabin thrown up quickly, uncomfortable bed

I would not recommend this place. We were assigned  a room right next to the washroom. Next we felt un-welcome the whole duration of the stay by the service provided. 

The pictures are inaccurate.

There are better properties around and closer to Denali.
