Denali Highway Cabins & Paxson Alpine Tours

Serta Perfect Sleeper Boxsprings & Mattresses on all Queen and Full beds, for the most comfortable sleep you'll enjoy during your trip.
Generously spaced cabins ensure privacy; all cabins' large decks overlook Paxson Mountain.		Deluxe Cabins – Oversized riversound log cabins, with mountain views. They are located as close to the Gulkana River as our septic systems and winter ice/thaw cycles permit, and the wonderful sound of the river is all guests will hear at night. These offer a queen bed plus either a sofa queen (with optional featherbed), or two twins. Deluxe cabins also feature comfortable chairs and a writing desk, and will sleep a maximum of four persons. Deluxe cabins are slightly closer to the river than our Standard Cabins and have a slightly larger floorplan with expansive decks. The deluxe cabins are spaced further apart from each other for maximum privacy. Their bathrooms contain a bathtub as well as a shower. Please see our Amenities list at the bottom of the page.
	Hudson Bay blankets, spacious interiors, and local artwork complement the cabins' wilderness setting. Standard Cabins - These log cabins receive the full sound of the river and no highway or other noise; they share the same view of Paxson Mountain and are ample-sized. Their bathrooms contain a shower (no tub); the vanity is in the main room and not in the bathroom. These cabins have a queen bed, and a full bed in a raised alcove. Standard Cabins will sleep a maximum of four persons.These cabins are ideal for families traveling with small children (they love the raised bed!), or for two to three adults. We do recommend that two couples traveling together rent the Guest House or separate cabins (a full bed is a tight squeeze for most couples.) Queen bed, plus full bed in alcove with step. Standard cabins' sink vanities are located in the main part of the cabin. Guest House - Newly renovated and perfect for groups or large families. A full house, with large living room, fully equipped kitchen, 2 1/2 bedrooms (two queen beds and one full bed), spacious bathroom with tub/shower, and an additional bed/futon available in the living room. The kitchen is terrific for those who wish to economize by cooking for themselves. The Guest House is our most private facility, surrounded by its own copse of woods and a wildflower meadow (in season) in the front. The Guest House has wonderful views of Paxson Mountain; there is no view of the river. Guests in the front bedroom will be able to sleep to the sound of the river. Please note that the House is not a traditional log cabin and can be reserved for two or more nights only. Please see our Amenities list at the bottom of the page. click here for cabin rates A comfortable living room allows guests to spread out and relax. The futon may be used as an additional bed, if necessary. We grow all our flowers from seed every year.
Deluxe cabins' bath vanities are outside the shower/toilet room yet are quite private from the rest of the cabin. Sit on your cabin's deck and enjoy the late afternoon sun, sound of the river, and the view of the mountain. The view of Paxson Mountain and surrounding greenery from the inside of our Standard Cabins, with deck in the foreground. The Guest House and its wildflower meadow.

All cabins and the Guest House have wonderful views of Paxson Mountain.
