“4.5 stars Just located in Kennicott area. We had a two double bed room, pretty homey and organized. Shared restrooms and showers but pretty clean and not busy. We booked with full meal packages and definitely recommended. The food options here were limited so it’s pretty nice to have warm food after full day hikes. Staffs here were pretty helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay here!”
