Denali Hostel and Cabins
For those who wish to spend a night along an Alaskan river without breaking the bank, Mountain Morning Hostel and Cabins is a good option. Located next to Carlo Creek, the property has two private cabins available complete with kitchenettes. The "hostel" side of the operation offers eight private rooms with bunk-style beds. For a more private rental option, you can reserve one of the four bunkhouse rooms. If you want a more rustic flavor, there are five "canvas castles." These fancy wall tents come complete with memory foam mattresses and sleeping bags. The shared bathrooms are quite nice, and there are enough of them that lines are uncommon.
