In the middle of nowhere, so quiet and tranquil absolutely loved it. Was layed back but suited the area and place and the views were great. We had great sun whilst we were there and even got to visit all of john's huskeys who were lovely. Really wanted to walk and see the abandoned truck but werent staying for long... More

Located high in the hills edging Denali, the views are beautiful. Clear night sky, evening sunsets, morning sunrises are all spectacular. Cabins are small (no TV or internet in rooms) and close together, but very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. The property gives wide open vistas of mountains. Great mushing dogs onsite and informative/interactive kennel tour available. Also interesting free slide... More

My wife, daughter, and I were here for several days and enjoyed our stay very much. Jon took great pains to make sure we were well taken care of, even after our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive 'til after 11 pm (when it STILL wasn't totally dark yet!). The cabins are small but lovely, obviously built with love... More

We stayed here in June on the recommendation of friends and were not disappointed. Yes, the room and bathroom were small, but cozy for the limited amount of time we actually spent in them. Each cabin is hand made and personally decorated. Being out on the tundra was pretty neat. Henry's was a great gathering place for breakfast and dinner,... More

While recently visiting Denali, I had occasion to stay at Earthsong Lodge nearby It was a warm and happy experience. The rustic cabin with everything needed for comfort, including a great bed..slept so well...was immaculate. The host and hostess went to special lengths to make sure we had all that we needed. The tour of sled dogs was especially enjoyable.... More

The website sounded like this was a little bit of heaven on earth.....away from the crowds and tucked away in the beauty of Alaska, close to Denali. Well, it was away from the crowds, which was nice, but very much a disappointment as to surrounding scenery and accommodations. When we pulled into the lodge area we couldn't believe this was...

There are a few issues I feel necessary to address with our visitors from Texas. The most perplexing is the criticism of our location. As readers can see with other comments, our scenery is top-notch. In fact, I feel comfortable stating that EarthSong Lodge has is in the most scenic spot in the Park Entrance/Healy area. Yes, the lodge and... More

The best place to be! This season we stayed the 4th time at the EarthSong Lodge. And guess what, we are planning our next stay. This is THE place to be. Away from the crowds, in the middle of mother nature. Let the dignity of your soul grow in this special invironment! By now we spent several month in Alaska... More

A rainbow greeted us as we got out of the car. We were away from all the crowds and on a quiet road in a small town. The cabins are small, cozy and warm. There's not alot of room in them but you're not going to spend alot of time in them anyway. I was amazed at how quiet it... More

What a find! We are so glad we treated ourselves to a night in one of these cabins, after three nights camping in Denali. Jon and Karin, and their daughter Sera, were so friendly and welcoming, absolutely without being intrusive. The cabin (we were in the Bush Pilot Cabin, number 12 I think) was small but perfectly formed, with a... More

I thank our excellent guests from the UK for this nice review, and I am very happy they enjoyed their stay and would like to return. I believe their sleep quality would have been greatly improved if they just turned down the heat in the cabin. All cabin have electric baseboard heaters with knobs on the front, and all guests...

Tucked away from the highway, with nice views of the mountains, Earth Song Lodge is indeed a retreat. Since I had a broken foot, while the rest of the family hiked read on the porch and enjoyed the sweeping views. Cabins are CHARMING, and comfortable; great linens and good beds ensured a perfect night's sleep. With my bum foot, I... More
