Wasilla lodging

I understand the drive from Denali to Kenai Princess Lodge is about 8-10 hrs. We thought we'd split the drive into 2 days. Is Wasilla a reasonable stopping point? Does anyone know of good lodging here? Does anyone have other suggestions for a half-way destination?

LKE:rolleyes:

Hands down, the best hotel is Best Western Lake Lucille Inn. Beautiful location just at the edge of Wasilla. Nice restaurant too with a great view of the lake. Website is http://www.bestwesternlakelucilleinn.com

Thanks! I saw the Best Western and Alaska Grandview and wasn't sure which would be best. I appreciate your advice.

The Grandview is brand new but right on the highway. Best Western sits on the edge of Lake Lucille and is very peaceful. If you can, spring for a room with a lake view.

That's good to know! In late August I imagine there'snotmuch traffic noise, but the lake and a view sounds wonderful!:)

Are you kidding? Late August is still packed up there...........if in doubt just check the cruise ships; they're still full.

I'd drive farther south even though Wasilla is beautiful. Anchorage is 236 miles from Denali and Wasilla is 42 miles from Anchorage which means you'll only be 194 miles into your drive.
