Fireweed Cabin is for the family that wants Denali without the hotel strip. It sits off the road in a stand of birch and spruce, close enough to the park entrance that you can be on the first bus of the morning and back for dinner on the porch.
The kids get the bunk room. The grown-ups get a door that closes. In June and July it barely gets dark, so there are blackout blinds in every bedroom and a long table for the card games that happen when nobody can sleep anyway.
What’s there
- Blackout blinds in every bedroom
- Full kitchen and a grill on the porch
- Washer and dryer for muddy trail clothes
- Board games, field guides and binoculars
