About this house rental

A Second Home has four bedrooms and two and a half bedrooms, LARGE dining room with a table for all, kitchen and living room, and laundry room. Each bedroom has its own TV and there is a LARGE screen TV in the living room. Guests often mention the home has beautiful views and is spacious for families and friends to gather comfortably.

You will see more trees and mountains than people when you are here. THIS PROPERTY HAS TO BE OWNER-OCCUPIED, AS PER HOA RULES.. Owners' space is a completely separate area with a different area.

Second Home has a LARGE, private deck in the backyard that looks out on mountain views. It's the only Denali vacation rental with a completely paved driveway and parking area and two acres of quiet lawns and woodlands. It has a turn-around driveway with plenty of space for parking.

Owners are year-round Alaskans who have been hosting guests for 36 years in the Denali Area. They book rental cars and give accurate tour desk information. They offer free transfers to and from the Denali Depot if you book a rental car and reserve train tickets through them.. If you are confused about tours and transit buses and attraction in the Park, ask your hosts.

They have up-to-date information about Denali National Park, the area and the state. Their tips will save you money and time. Example: be sure to take the East Fork Transit Bus for $33.25 (2024 prices) instead of the Tundra Wilderness Tour for $144.00. The transit bus is narrated too. Please ask if you have Denali questions.

Ann proactively shared useful tips before our arrival. She personally greeted us and showed off the house. The space was spotless, the bedrooms spacious, the kitchen was well-equipped. Stunning views and a memorable visit from a mother moose and her two calves made our stay unforgettable. Thank you, Ann!

In 20 years of VRBOs, I've never needed to file a public complaint until staying at Second Home in Denali, in Healy, Alaska. Our party of 6 rented two homes in Alaska. We chose "Second Home in Denali" because we thought it was a quiet, luxury home in a beautiful location. We did not get that. Days before arrival (after cancellation dates) I got an email that "construction is STILL going on at the apartment to the side of your rental." I wasn't sure what that meant, but since we paid 10 months prior, what to do? RENTERS BEWARE: This meant full house renovation 9 a.m. to 5/6 p.m. Weekends included. The owners are building a separate apartment inside the VRBO just beyond a locked hollow core door. We listened to air compressors, nail guns, tile saws, contractor music and conversations all week. Dust seeped under doors. When I asked Ann to come see, she asked what compensation would be fair. When we told her half of what we paid, she started avoiding us. She denied each request to pause construction. Ann reimbursed us half her profit in the end, but it's not half what we paid. She said VRBO takes too much. We are not satisfied. When she said my mother, age 79, should've napped at her house and closed the second story bathroom curtains if she didn't want construction workers looking in (they worked on all house windows), I decided to warn others. Ann and Terry were the only negative in an otherwise perfect trip of a lifetime.

The property is very quiet and peaceful. It was very clean, stocked with all the necessities and the property owner was very responsive. We enjoyed the close location to Denali and a local grocery store! The highlight of the stay was a moose and her twin babies who visited the backyard on a daily basis!

The house was perfect for us. It had tons of space and everything we needed. The location was ideal. What truly stood out was our host. We left a ukulele at the property by accident, and she went to tremendous lengths to return it to us. There were many messages back and forth, coordination with a bus driver, and a long trip to deliver it to the bus. Ann has a huge heart and we are very grateful to her.

We were surprised and impressed with this two story home. It felt like we were moving into a new, well-furnished house. The kitchen was nicely supplied with all the condiments and incidentals needed for cooking. And we enjoyed the spacious deck and view. The home is easily accessible from the highway and close to Denali NP. We would definitely stay here again!

Great house, and a moose that would come to the backyard. Beautiful place on two acres, very comfortable. We appreciated having some basics including spices, oil and other items for cooking. And laundry detergent! I highly recommend this house.

This was a really cool place to stay. We spent a week on a cruise ship in smaller quarters, and it was really nice to be able to spread out. It was also a wonderful place to stay. We saw lots of wildlife just here in the yard. we were also able to get into town and enjoy some really good pizza and enjoy the local flavors. If you’re wondering, there is a very serviceable grocery store just up the road not more than 10 minutes walk. The national park is only about 15 to 20 minutes away. Everything is well appointed and exactly as described. Great place!

We had a wonderful stay near Denali. The home surpassed our expectations. The house was extremely comfortable and clean. The view was majestic and the kitchen was well stocked. Aside from seeing moose in the backyard, we enjoyed a number of activities at Denali National Park and at nearby shops. We took a sightseeing flight with Denali Air and were blessed with a thoroughly exhilarating experience flying around Denali, up close on a gorgeous day. We had a great time at the 49th Restaurant sampling both the extensive beer menu.and the fantastic food. It was our favorite restaurant. Ann was very helpful in suggestions for our trip and took the worry out of our stay. We highly recommend this 2nd Home as being 1st Class. You won't want to leave!

We had a work event in Healy and long busy days, and this house was so comfortable and welcoming to come back and relax in.

Eight friends traveled to Alaska for the trip of a lifetime! We enjoyed the spaciousness and cleanliness of this property which accommodated eight adults. Ann was very responsive and helpful whenever I contacted her with questions. We all felt very comfortable at her property and especially liked that we saw a moose and baby in the backyard.

A super homey, welcoming rental property. From the large front porch to the beautiful back yard & deck, every room is well appointed with comfortable furniture, beds and bathrooms. Tons of little extras are tucked everywhere making it feel just like home. All found just as described, and host, Ann, was always available, thorough and accommodating. Couldn’t have been better!

This home is a great place to stay for your Denali visit. It is very clean, in a great location, and has everything you need. The bonus was that a cow moose and her calf visited the back yard everyday while we were there. We would definitely stay at this property again.

We had a wonderful stay in Healy! I can’t say enough positive things about the house and Ann. Ann helped me with my train tickets, getting a car and my endless questions not only about Denali but Seward, as well. Her and her husband were extremely helpful. The house was a perfect distance away from the hustle and bustle of Denali plus the small drive (maybe 10 min?) north of Denali to the house is breathtaking. There is a grocery store across the street and a phenomenal restaurant not even 5 min away (49th State). The views of the mountain never got old and it was so nice sitting outside after a long day of hiking and exploring. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We were able to rent this home after our first rental (Royal Deer Lodge) abruptly cancelled on us---buyer beware with that rental! This property was perfect for our group of 8 (4 couples). The location was ideal--close to restaurants, gas & groceries--and just a short distance to Denali and all it has to offer. The house was clean and had all of the amenities that we needed. Ann was prompt and responsive with our questions. We would definitely rent this home again.
