The ground floor contains the living quarters, including three bedrooms and two full bathrooms with all the amenities of home. Two bedrooms have a queen and twin bed, while the third bedroom has a king, comfortably fitting up to eight guests. The second floor has a semi-private office nook and an open kitchen, dining, and living area with majestic views of mountains in all directions. A wraparound second-floor porch is a perfect place to grill, relax, and look for wildlife after a long day of adventuring and exploring, either in the park or in the uninhabited backcountry a short walk from the property.
If you plan to use the kitchen during your stay, please be aware that the nearest full-size grocery store is approximately 25 minutes away. It's best to get groceries on your way (Healy if traveling from the north, Talkeetna if traveling from the south) or plan to eat at the local restaurants.
The house is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between guests, but no housekeeping will be done during your stay. Before leaving, please make sure to tidy the home and place any used dishes in the dishwasher. Laundry is available for guest use, and the house will be heated to 70F (21C) by in-floor heating for your arrival (adjustable during your stay via thermostat). Electric heaters are also available in the bedrooms if it gets extra chilly.
We have a few neighboring houses in sight, but you'll visit true backcountry Alaska. The next road to the east is approximately 90 miles away.
Finally, our friendly, knowledgeable property manager will stay out of your way but is next door along the private drive for any questions about the area or the property during your stay.
We offer a 10% for Military Service Members.

Property could stand a little updating, but it was a great location for getting to the park. The host was quick to answer questions. Great place for families but a little harder if you’re elderly.

The photos don’t do the cabin justice. The process was flawless, we never once had to call anyone for anything. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and laundry areas had everything we needed. Nice but comfortable furnishings. Great WiFi. The hosts were friendly and responsive. Book this if you have the chance.

We had a fantastic time at this cabin. It was spacious, clean, and had a wonderful view of the mountains. Proximity to Denali National Park was also great and the surrounding restaurants were perfect for easy dinners after a full day in the park. Would recommend this spot to anyone!

Beautiful, clean, roomy house. Two great little restaurants within a few minutes. Easy access to the park, but away from all of the tourists staying in the lodges around the park entrance. Nice supply of staples. Highly recommend.

The house is clean and has everything you will need. snow peaked Mountains from every window of the house! There were 5 in our party and we had lots of room. Can’t say enough positive about this house! Perfect!

This cabin is beautiful! Everything was well stocked, it was clean, and it’s in a good location. First, the cabin is amazing, and the views are spectacular. The cabin had all the necessary essentials, and the kitchen cabinets were all labeled. The washer/dryer were nice to have, and we did utilize them during our stay. Second, it is only a short 15 minute drive to the National Park entrance. And finally, there are restaurants close by to enjoy. We ate at Panorama Pizza and had a nice meal. There are neighbors that are nearby, but we never saw other people around. It is private enough to enjoy. I would definitely stay here again. Also, communication with the owner was easy, and we always got a quick response. No problems whatsoever.

We had a lovely stay at this home near Denali.
The house was quite comfortable with amazing views all around. We enjoyed being close to Denali NP but still feeling like we were far away. The property manager was helpful with the one issue we had. We would recommend this home for your Denali leg of an Alaskan trip.

We were lucky to stay here for 4nights during our recent Denali visit. After two weeks on the road and eating out, it felt so good to be in a house that made it very easy to cook our own dinners and feel ‘right at home’ amidst the beautiful trees and mountains. Great host, house and location! It very comfortably held our 6 adult group, and was conveniently located to an excellent cafe right down the street in walking distance that had a bakery to die for!

Our group of six thoroughly enjoyed this stunning house and the spectacular views. The house has high end fixtures and extremely comfortable beds. It is clean and well laid out. We enjoyed daily hiking in Denali NP and had sunny skies each day! The property manager was very accommodating to anything we needed.

This house was great for our visit to Denali area. Lots of modern conveniences. Very comfortable. Two restaurants nearby but not much else. Very private although there are two other homes within a stones throw away so you arent completely alone. Not as close to the park as we would have hoped given the road construction delays. Bring your bug spray, the entire area has mosquitos during summer. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had an amazing stay in this lovely and spacious home. Everything was as presented online and very clean. This was exactly the type of home I hoped to stay in with my family - husband, daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters. We could not have found a more perfect location. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Denali in such a quiet and lovely home.

Perfect hide-away close to attractions
The pictures of this place don’t do it justice. Beautiful mountain home with porch around all four sides of house. Part is covered allowing to sit outside and enjoy morning coffee even when raining. House was very clean with about everything one would need for cooking. Also had some condiments and spices. Our large family group had plenty of room to sit as a group comfortably and not feel crowded. Would definitely recommend to others and stay here again if make it back to the area.

Denali Home
This property is in a beautiful location, somewhat secluded but near a couple of great restaurants. We enjoyed the beautiful views from the game room upstairs. It was clean and well equipped. Our granddaughter quickly found the game closet and was well entertained by the variety of games she found. It was fairly close to the Denali National Park.

GO NOW! DO NOT PASS GO!!!
WOW!!! A stellar view and perfect location for your entry into Denal National Park. House location is quiet, private and once again an amazing view of the mountain range. House was immaculate and nicely decorated with views of the mountains from every room. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms are updated. There are a few close places to eat if you prefer not to cook. House is equipped with all the essentials if you choose to cook. I would definitely rent here again. Property manager close and responsive to questions and suggestions.

Wonderful home for our group of 7. Amazing views and extremely clean. Great location close to Denali Park and some great restaurants. We especially enjoyed The Perch (get the salted beef small plate!) and Panorama Pizza.

Absolutely perfect!
I stayed in the property in June of 2022 with my parents, who are in their seventies, my husband, and our two teenage children. First of all, the property listing and pictures do not do this place justice. It was a fantastic place. Even nicer than it looked in the photos. The layout of the cabin is wonderful. Having the living areas on the top floor is really nice because it maximizes the views. The floor plan is very open and airy with lots of windows and views on all sides. The deck wraps around the upper floor which is awesome. The kitchen was stocked much better than I could have hoped. There was anything we needed and more. All of the appliances were nice and on the newer end. The entire place was super clean, wifi was good, plenty of hot water, and beds were comfortable. Washer and dryer were nice and we used those. One evening a mama moose and her baby wandered right into the yard and we watched them for a long while. So awesome! As for location, it is a 15 minute drive to the park. We thought this was great because it is far enough away to be out of “glitter gulch” but close enough to be convenient. Panorama Pizza (gourmet pizzas) nearby was dynamite and the bakery at McKinley Creekside cabins was stupendous. Their cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls were top notch! Definitely check those out. Overall, I highly recommend this cabin. Perfect!

Excellent
Stayed here while visiting Denali with friends. The house was perfect and spotlessly clean. I loved the upstairs area (living room, kitchen and dining area) with mountain views on all sides. The bedrooms/beds were very comfortable and accommodated our party of seven easily. The kitchen was well equipped. Natalie was very responsive and easy to work with. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Denali in the future.

Amazing cabin near Denali National Park entrance
Couldn't ask for more from Natalie's cabin. It was tastefully decorated with a lot of cozy elements that made me and my friends very welcome :) Would definitely come back here again on another Denali trip.

Too short of a visit!
The home, the view and the surroundings were amazing. Host picked us up after our party realized home was NOT within walking distance of train station, which made the whole stay possible. Walked to an outstanding dinner, played cards (a huge assortment of games, etc. available) and enjoyed the weather station.
