Lodging Near Denali National Park in Healy, AK

EarthSong Lodge & Denali Dog Sled Expeditions

EarthSong Lodge offers a variety of summer and winter adventures, ranging from lodge-based accommodations to overnight camping trips. In the summer, guests stay in their own single story honey-colored log cabin, complete with private baths, full and queen size beds, and hand-crafted furnishings. An evening slide show program by our staff Naturalist is also provided.

One of the highlights of EarthSong Lodge is a visit to the sled dog kennels, home to the friendliest working huskies in Alaska.  In the past we have had our dogs on site for guests to visit.  While we are still offering guided tours through Denali Park in the winter, we do not have any sled dogs on the property after the 2023 season.  The kennel will be open for guests to see displays and equipment used by our teams for both guiding and extended arctic expeditions.  Dog sledding has been at the heart of EarthSong since opening in 1997, and the kennel will continue to reflect our ties with the mushing world.  Hours for kennel walk-through are TBA.  We also offer winter dog sled tours!

EXTENDED STAY SPECIAL:

After a very challenging 2020 and 2021 season, we are all looking forward to more normal summers at EarthSong and Denali.  In celebration of the more-positive tourism outlook, we are offering an extended stay discount for anyone booking with us.  Stay at least four nights and you will get a 10% discount.  Stay at least 6 nights and receive a 20% discount.  This is for a limited time, and open for any nights in our 2023 summer season.  To receive the discount, go through our website online reservation system (not available if you book via another online service).  Use the contact form on this site and let us know your plans, then book the reservation.  Your balance will be adjusted to reflect the 10 or 20% discount.  This discount must be requested right after you reserve.  As always, let us know if you have any questions!

 

COVID-19 UPDATE FOR 2024 SUMMER SEASON:

EarthSong Lodge will be open for the 2024 Summer Season, beginning May 20th.   Changes to our schedule are not expected.  Henry’s Coffeehouse will be open for take-out every morning.

Our normal cancellation policy is back in effect starting 2023.  There are COVID exceptions if a large-scale interruption in tourism occurs (like mandatory quarantine, etc.), but we do not foresee that.  If you have any questions on our cancellation policy, please contact us.

Guests should also visit the Denali National Park website or our Facebook page to get updates on park access.  Denali will be operating almost normally this summer, but you should stay current on park policies prior to arrival.  We are also here to help you navigate things, as we always have offered our guests.
