Beautiful, comfortable, clean home with a very unique and fun airstrip viewing opportunity. Location was calm, quiet, and peaceful, which added to the beauty of our trip. Looking forward to the opportunity to stay here again in the future!

We loved the log cabin feel of this property. It was very clean and well stocked. It was near the airstrip so taking a tour was very easy. We also went to Denali for the day and this property was very welcoming after a long day. We ate at Mckinley Cabin Cafe & Bakery and the 49th Street Brewery (Healy). Both were excellent. Plenty to do near this property

Excellent solution for hiding away, yet just minutes from the gate of the NP.
5.0
Very nice property. Road noise and airplane noise near air strip were a bit annoying. Everything else was very good.

The log house on Denali Airstrip is even better than the pictures! It was a wonderful place to stay- the hosts are super responsive and accommodating and the property is amazing. If you are planning a stay in the area, this is definitely the place to be!

I took my family to Alaska for my dad's 65th birthday and not a single thing (besides the fire in Denali NP) disappointed, especially the stay at Kelly's house at MP 229.5! The log cabin feel of the house was especially cozy, and my family was fascinated by all the pelts and aviation decor all around the house, which made it feel even more unique. Kelly was a great host, property was clean and well described - and the convenience of the Denali Air airstrip was an added bonus as we both watched AND flew in the planes there. Absolutely would come back!
5.0
The cabin is very nice, although the living room would be small for a group of six to congregate. Considering it never gets dark in the summer we would have liked shades on the front door window.
We enjoyed watching the airplanes take off and land.

Beautiful log cabin. Runway in the area to see the plane take off and land is nice to watch.

This is a very comfortable cabin located less than 10 miles from the park entrance. Very convenient for daily excursions into Denali.
5.0
Well-stocked with essentials. We even found bear spray (which saved us having to rent it) and bug spray. I brought laubdry and dishwasher soap, but they had both available. They even had big bittles of shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom. We stayed a week and it was the perfect basecamp for all of our exploring. It was very clean and all appliances eorked realky well. The firepit was a great touch, enjoyed by the adults for quiet morning coffee while the kids were still asleep and a great way to get the loud kids out of the cabin in the evening to make smores. The owners are incredibly responsive but did not invade our privacy at all during our stay. I strongly recommend this place to everyone.
5.0
The house is adorable, right next to the park entrance, perfectly distributed for three couples, fully equipped (though dishwasher did not work). We loved it.
5.0
Absolutely fantastic. The log cabin was super clean. The isolated location outside Denali was perfect. Although the gas fireplaces were not working, the host apologized and offered a small refund. (btw, still waiting for what we were offered.) Thanks.

We had a great stay! It was very comfortable and cozy! We liked Panorama pizza down the street. We got a guided tour from Traverse Alaska and our guide was awesome! We recommend staying at the cabin.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was very clean and furnished and offered a rustic experience with all comforts. Also conveniently located to Denali National Park. Kelly was very responsive and even came in person to answer some questions. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved this cabin and wished we had planned 1 more day in Denali. The cabin is spotless, so spacious and relaxing. All the comforts of home are there and you are so close to Denali adventures. We recommend the flight seeing tour, the bus tour and at least 1 hike. Then a relaxing evening watching the planes from the cabin. Lovely stay and our hosts were so helpful.

Wow! What a great cabin and great location for daily adventures in Denali National Park.
Had a very relaxing time and enjoyed watching the occasional airplane take off and land.
Just a few minutes away from Denali. Highly recommend.

Kelly and Cheryl’s place was gorgeous. We enjoyed watching the planes take off and land. The space was perfect for a family of four plus parents and the location was perfect for visiting Denali.

My husband, one year old daughter, and I stayed here for 3 nights. It was perfect!! Beautiful space, kitchen to cook up our meals and laundry was everything we needed and more.
5.0
From the time we walked in we felt like we were stepping into the Alaska mountain back country. It was a great location so close to Denali, but made us feel like we were in our own back cabin. The cabin was super clean, wonderfully decorated and had all the supplies we needed. Although we didn't barbecue, the set up was nice to bbq outside. Next time we will take an evening to eat outdoors. It was fun watching the planes taking off right outside our door. Beds were comfortable and the living room was just right to sit and visit at the end of the day. Highly recommend!
5.0
Awesome house for the family. I was extremely interesting to see the planes land and take off. McKinley Creekside Cafe and Panorama Pizza are just down the road and have great food and service. The chocolate chip cookies and muffins are amazing at the Cafe. House was perfectly set up and clean. Thank you!

The pictures do not do this cabin justice. Close to Denali entrance. Fun watching small planes fly in and out!
5.0
This home was beautiful and absolutely perfect for our family of 5. Pictures and listing are very accurate. Pack & play and high chair provided were wonderful. Our kids (8, 4, 1 1/2) loved playing outside and watching all the planes. Home is less than 10 minutes from Denali park entrance. The owner’s recommendations on restaurants and things to do in the area were spot on! The rest of our group rented an in-law suite in Healy and our accommodations were far superior. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It has everything you would need and the location is perfect for all the parks, shopping and dining. Not to mention how clean everything was. We will absolutely stay here again if we make it back to Alaska!! Kelly and Cheryl were amazing hosts!

Our 86 yr old mom and we 2 daughters really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful pine cabin with lovely wood details (an entire tree trunk!) inside. Kelly was a great, responsive host, and our being located on an airstrip was a blast (without being noisy). It was a great choice for us.
5.0
We enjoyed our time in and around Denali and this cozy place was the perfect spot to call home. Very comfortable, clean and relaxing. From *our home we had quick access to white water rafting, hiking, ATV trail riding, restaurants, coffee shops a road trip to Fairbanks AND a fun time watching airplanes takeoff/land. We enjoyed all this while also having peace and tranquility. We are a family of 5 (18+) and had plenty of space (our daughter slept in the mini cabin :) Thank you to our hosts Cheryl and Kelly for helping make our trip to Alaska amazing. You were both responsive and helpful. Much appreciated.
