About this property

☆ Denali Sunset House - Wild scenery with creature comforts!

A spacious craftsman-built home perched on a ridge at the edge of the park. You will enjoy beautiful mountain views out every window, while savoring your morning coffee or a glass of wine on the upper or lower decks. You won't even notice the lack of a TV. There is a full kitchen complete with a crock pot and coffee maker, and an outdoor grill for preparing meals with your family or friends. Spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds ensure you’ll get a good nights sleep before heading out on your Denali adventures. Providing an alternative to the crowding noise and traffic of Denali’s hotel strip, our house was designed with a focus on providing relaxing spaces for hanging out, socializing or solitude.

Our home has been featured in Travel & Leisure's "7 Stunning Homes Near National Parks You Can Book on VRBO."

There is room in the house for a maximum of 10 people. There is one downstairs bedroom and three bedrooms upstairs. For new parents, a pack & play is located in the upstairs closet. It costs $50 a night for each additional person over 6 guests. If you want to have more than 6 people, please keep in mind that there is only one shower (in downstairs bath). Upstairs, there is a half bath and a sink, a washer and a dryer. You may also book our small dry cabin across the driveway. The Denali Moonrise Cabin will sleep 2 guests and has an outhouse and outdoor shower.

No pets allowed, please.

If you plan to arrive by train to Denali, you will need a rental car to get around the local area and to our house. "Keys to Denali" and "Alaska Auto Rental" located locally in Healy offers rental vehicles (including 12-passenger vans) and railroad depot pick-up and drop-offs. Be sure to book in advance.

For a fly over of the house, go to Denali Sunset House on youtube.

You will have access to the entire house, except the garage. This includes upstairs and downstairs decks, the yard surrounding the house, and of course you can step into endless wilderness just by walking down our driveway.

The home is located a mile off the Parks Highway, just a 10 mile drive to the Denali Park Visitor Center and the train depot, and the main hotel/restaurant and shopping zone. A few restaurants, and a nice locally owned cafe and art gallery are located within two miles, as is the trailhead for the popular Triple Lakes hike (no fishing license required inside the park).

We live close by. You can reach us by text or phone. Terry is around in the mornings, and Becky is usually around in the afternoon and evenings, so one of us is usually available to answer questions or offer advice on the local area.

We would suggest that you buy your groceries in Fairbanks or Anchorage. Although, there is a small supermarket 20 miles north in Healy. There are convenience stores around here, but they are limited and more expensive. We provide all linens, dish soap, trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper. A coffee maker is provided. The 1.5 mile road from the highway to our house is a maintained gravel road. It should not pose any problem for any vehicle.

Enjoy the books and board games - there is no TV, but have high speed Starlink internet!

Minimum stay two nights, please. At times, we will get that odd night that is available between two bookings. We will consider waiving the two night minimum stay in unique cases like this.

Hard to leave
The Denali Sunset House was to be our "base camp" for activities in the area. It was hard to leave the house. We wanted to just sit and enjoy nature. Becky and Terry have included so many thoughtful touches. House was spacious for our group of 8. Beds were comfortable. Communication was easy. Would happily stay again.

Delightful!
We had a great stay at the Denali Sunset House! We had a diverse group ranging in age from 11 to 80 years. We were greeted with a personal note and cookies from the host - a really nice touch! Sunset House was well-appointed and suited to our needs. It’s a great place with local history! Couldn't have asked for a better spot!

Wonderful Stay
Our family enjoyed our time at the Denali Sunset House! The home is so charming, and we enjoyed reading about how it was built. The home was very clean and was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet, and we enjoyed spending time on the deck. Our host, Becky, was helpful in answering questions and provided a lot of great tips on local restaurants.

Spectacular
What a beautiful, quiet, peaceful, clean, wonderful location and property! The views were fantastic. The home is what we expected - very nice with a touch of rustic blended in. Becky and Terry communicated very well, and even had homemade cookies on the table. The power went out for a bit the first night, and Terry was there in the morning to make sure all was well. It was nice to meet him in person! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Awesome Denali stay
We wanted a stay in the Denali area that would be comfortable but unique. The Denali Sunset House exceeded our expectations. We loved the views and the experience of sitting on the decks early in the morning or late at night. The house worked well for our party of 8: 6 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked breakfasts and prepared lunches for our excursions into the park. The hosts had equipped the house with many thoughtful amenities that aligned with the environment, like binoculars and mosquito head nets. Thank you Terri and Becky for a terrific and memorable visit!

Denali, AK trip
This was a nice get away place with a 10 minute drive to Denali National Park. Enjoyed having a well equipped kitchen and plenty of room for everyone. Didn’t miss the tv and enjoyed looking out at the view from the balcony. Easy checkin and check out. Becky and Terry were gracious hosts. They provided us with places to go and good information about the area. Also was cool learning the history of the house. We had a friendly neighbor moose that showed up outside the house at night. Enjoyed the stay and would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Becky & Terry

Host profile image
Terry and I are both long-term residents of the Denali area. We live in a lovely log cabin that Terry built nearby in the early 1990's. We both work driving tours in the park. Over the past 30 years, we have brought more than 200,000 people into Denali to experience the incredible wildlife and the beauty of the vast, wild spaces.

We often travel during the off-season (Becky has visited over 30 countries!) and have had some wonderful experiences using VRBO. We find that staying in local neighborhoods, rather than isolated “tourist zones”, gives us a better understanding and appreciation of the places we visit. We have enjoyed meeting people from around the world and are very excited about running a VRBO of our own!

We want to help you to get the most out of your visit, starting with a clean and comfortable “home away from home” at our Denali Sunset House.
