Alaskan wilderness

The Tonglen Experience

Tonglen Lake Lodge offers the space, comfort and peace to recharge while you enjoy an authentic, luxurious Alaskan experience in between excursions. Tucked away only ten minutes away from the main park of Denali National Park, Tonglen provides all the care and attention you could need while serving as a gateway to the highest peak in North America as well as over six million acres of protected Alaskan wilderness.

Our mornings begin with locally brewed coffee and delicious house made breakfasts that to set you up for a day of adventure. Alongside freshly made baked goods, the Artisan cafe offers a variety of specialty espresso drinks.

During the day, many guests take their lunches into the park, or along with them on one of many exciting excursions in the area. If you prefer to relax on site, our private cabins, artisan cafe, and breathtaking scenery offer something for everyone.

When guests return for the evening, they can choose from a selection of snacks and beverages before dining upstairs in the lodge. Our dinners feature locally sourced Alaskan ingredients and fresh produce from our partners across the state, prepared to give you a taste of what Alaska has to offer.

From the consistent feedback that we receive, our guests tell us that our attention to detail, excellent cuisine, and friendly, helpful staff are the things that made them feel at home, even in the wilderness. We hope to share that experience with you soon!
