About this house rental
Back on the market after taking 2 years off to rent out yearly.
The Taiga House is located in the forest just north of Denali National Park. Once a spacious B&B known as "The Grand View" it has been remade into a family home with two vacation rentals. Our three bedroom, second floor residence is attached, yet private, with an entrance and yard of it's own, amazing views of the local mountains scenery and abundant charm. It sleeps six, with 2 queen beds and a daybed with trundle bed under, full bath, spacious living room/dining and fully equipped kitchen plus a washer/dryer.
There is a bar-b-que grill, picnic table, fire pit and amazing wilderness just outside the door.
There are restaurants, a brew pub, and a full grocery stores just a ten minute walk down the trail, or a two minute drive away, and many more restaurants, bars and shops twelve miles south in the bustling tourist zone known as Glitter Gulch outside the entrance to Denali Park.

We had a great long weekend at the Taiga House! Would definitely recommend for a family.
5.0
We were fortunate enough to be able to rent the studio apartment as well as the three bedroom one bath house. This combination was perfect for our group of eight which consisted of three couples and two single adults.
The houses were great and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated them, leaving us spare spray. We were also appreciative That we didn't need to use the bear spray
The houses were close to many Denali activities and we had a wonderful time there.

What an absolutely wonderful place to stay. Great quiet location convenient to Denali Park. House was very nice and comfortable for our group of 5. Clean with all amenities needed. And what a stunning view out the windows! Would absolutely stay there again.

We agree with all of the previous lauditory reviews, and would only add that we were very impressed with the high quality selection of kitchen knives. It added to the delight of preparing our meals and enjoying them with stellar mountain views.

The Taiga house is exactly as advertised and the backyard was a huge bonus. Comfortable house with a kitchen that made it easy to cook a few meals. Great access to Denali. Near grocery store and (underwhelming yet popular) brewery. Bedrooms have the best blackout curtains I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately the park was closed while we were in town but there is a 4 mile hike right out the back of the property that was fun for the family.
5.0
Really great. House was clean and easy. The dogs were super nice, cute, and fun. Only challenge was 1 bathroom for 6 people but the ad was accurate and we knew it going in. Still we had a great time and I would give high marks all around.

The Taiga house was perfect for our family’s visit to Alaska. Lovely view, comfortable stay, they had everything we needed. We were so happy to have this be our home base for adventures in Denali. Close to park and very close to grocery store. Thanks so much to the owners for everything, this is a top notch rental!! Highly recommend!!

We picked this location due to the great reviews, so our expectations were high- and the Taiga house exceeded them! This property was SO clean, well appointed, and had thoughtful extra touches! I definitely recommend using this as a home base for your Denali travels. My husband, myself, and our adult daughter and son in law loved it. We wished we had more time! The view was amazing and we were super comfortable. Thanks for a great end to our Alaskan adventure!

Everything about our stay was excellent - beautiful views, lovely apartment, well appointed kitchen, convenient washer/dryer. Friendly & knowledgeable owners. Nice country atmosphere with a neighborly moose who visits occasionally. Large market & great brewery are close by.

We loved our time at The Taiga House, the pictures don't do it justice! Todd warmly greeted us and told us about the property, including a trail we could walk on the property, which we did and was a lovely hour walk into the spruce trees. You enter the space on the ground floor where there is the washer/dryer and place for putting on shoes. Bear spray and bug spray were provided for walks on the property. To get into the apartment, you climb a set of stairs (although there was a wheelchair lift, we didn't need it but ask if you might!) The kitchen had very nice high-end appliances! There were six chairs for the table which had a great view of the mountains. Plenty of comfortable seating in the living area. There were fans in the closet for the bedrooms, which we did use because it was warm when we were in Denali. The room darkening blinds were effective and the beds were comfortable! I highly recommend a stay at the Taiga House! It was perfect for our family of five.

The place was clean, modern, well equipped and best of all, the view from the great room was beautiful! It is about 15 minutes from Denali National Park.
The host was friendly and knows a lot about the area.
It can be a little challenging to find the first time, but it’s only a couple minutes from the main road in Healy which has a couple restaurants,

We had a great time. The view was incredible, the grounds laced with trails, and The Taiga house was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Many extras , such as laundry detergent etc. were included which was very thoughtful. Todd answered our every question. We wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you!

Great apartment near Denali! Close to grocery and gas, as well as restaurants

This is about 10 minutes from Denali with an awesome view of the mountains. Our hosts seemed to think ahead to provide those extras that were so nice- coffee, nice coffee pot, nice appliances, & plenty of space to put our stuff. They were there on property & welcomed us & asked if there was anything we needed. I definitely recommend this property!!!!

After mounting the stairs and opening the door, you are greeted by a most glorious view. This apartment is beautifully furnished with high quality items. If you are exploring this part of Alaska, I highly recommend staying at Taiga house.

Julie & Todd were excellent host and very friendly. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. We were 4 adults family and friends and we slept comfortably. The property is conveniently located to Denali National Park, about 15 minutes away. The house has amazing views of the mountains, so beautiful! And we were visited by a Mama Moose and Baby! This is a perfect house to stay in while visiting the Park. Thank you Julie and Todd for sharing your place.

Very clean house. Beautiful property, very close to Denali entrance. Even closer to Grocery, Gas and 49th State Brewery which is very big, modern and has very good food. The house was cleaner, nicer, and larger than I was expecting. Close enough to the park for convenience but just far enough where you felt out in the wilderness and away from the crowds.
5.0
We had a great stay. The property is located in a green area with great views of the mountains and is very well appointed. It is a fifteen minute drive to the national park entrance so a great base for exploring the national park without getting caught up in the bustle closer to the park entrance. The owner Todd is friendly, responsive and helpful. The kids loved playing with the dogs in their downtime.

This place was perfect for our family of 5 to visit Denali. The house was clean, comfortable, nicely furnished, and had a beautiful view. Definitely recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and had anything we might need. The owner, Todd, stopped by to welcome us and ask if we needed anything. I would very much recommend staying here.

We had an amazing time in our Healy vacation spot. The location is amazing and so convenient. The home is perfect. There wasn’t anything that we needed once we arrived. Kitchen set up is amazing the view can’t be beat. We enjoyed the trail and friendly dogs are always a plus. The proximity to the park, rafting, and good food is perfect for a long or short stay. Highly recommend these hosts and this location!
5.0
Still the same as when we were here in 2019! Outstanding views, close to Denali Park in Healy. The BIG reasons to stay here are:
1. Super hosts in Julie and Todd
2. Three Bears grocery is 1 mile walk from the apartment, they have everything you’ll need to cook on the grill outside.
3. 49th State Brewery is 1.25 miles away and has a full bar plus awesome beer and meals.
Finally, the VRBO is fully equipped and they (Todd) has a two mile round trip trail out to a nice bench. This property is our #1 in the Denali area.

I would stay here over and over again! Great property with a gorgeous, scenic view. Todd was very welcoming, and told us about his well worn path to hike on his property. We slept five adults comfortably. It was clean and just perfect place to stay for our family.

This is a great place to stay at, could not recommend it enough. The hosts were super accommodating and friendly, and the location was perfect.

It was up-to-date and quite nice. The windows all worked, which we've found is unusual. Wifi worked. We didn't want to leave!
5.0
This is the most fabulous view of the Alaskan mountains from our multiple living area windows. Also has a really nice hiking trail through the woods on the property. Location is convenient to restaurants, grocery store, gas station, and just a few miles north of Denali NP entrance. To top it off host was very friendly, good conversationalist and three of the friendliest dogs you'll ever meet. I could go on forever about how much we enjoyed our stay. Just wish we could have stayed longer.
5.0
The home was very comfortable - comfy living room, comfortable beds, and good water pressure. We slept 5 with the trundle bed no problem. Full kitchen was clean, updated, and essential items. Pics can’t do the view from living room and kitchen justice. Full line of large windows that ran length of the property looking out at the mountains could not be beat. Had to pull myself away from the view. 15 min drive to Denali was scenic and I am so glad we decided to stay in Healy rather than Glitter Gultch. Great restaurant only 5 min away, grocery, hardware, and essentials right around the corner. Property owner was nearby, super friendly, attentive, but left us alone except for a friendly greeting and a few tips of the area. Would definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The unit is spacious and had everything we needed. We loved the view and walking the property. The owner was very friendly and responsive. We didn’t bring shampoo and body wash, but he found a few extra travel size bottles and gave them to us (be sure to bring your own!). Bear spray was provide though. The location is an easy drive to Denali. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again.
