About this property

Rustic Canvas "Bear" Cabin near Denali

NOTE: this rental is being renovated in June so it will be different than the photos. we are planning to convert it into a small A-frame 8x12 cabin. it will have all the same amenities - 1 full sized bed, 1 twin sized floor mattress, a kitchenette and private outhouse. it will also have a small electricity setup for charging phones, tablets and other small voltage electronics. there will be NO running water. See the full description for property details.


This rental is Located at the home of Wildthingz Dog Mushing, professional sled dog team of Iditarod and Yukon Quest musher Richie Beattie and wife Emily Rosenblatt, the tent offers a private setting with the opportunity to see our homestead and dogs. The 10x12 tent is built up on a wooden deck and has a solid wooden front with a door and window. The tent is for the traveler who likes to explore the path less traveled while still having some comforts and amenities. Our property is off-grid so the tent has no running water or electricity. We provide sufficient drinking and washing water and a USB solar charger for phones and other small gadgets.

There is a full sized bed and a second twin size mattress on the floor for a 3rd person.
There is a kitchenette with all cooking essentials including a propane stove, utensils, cookware, pots & pans, plates, bowls, cups etc.
We also provide coffee & tea and fixings.

Because this is a dry rental, you have a private composting outhouse & water for hand washing.

If you need to shower, the Vitus gas station 2 miles from us has showers for $5.

The property is 30 minutes from Denali National Park, a perfect distance from the activities and trails you may be interested in exploring while getting out of the busier hub of tourism.

You must have a vehicle to stay here. There is no public transportation, Lyft or Uber in the area so we recommend arranging a rental in anchorage/Fairbanks before arriving.

Owner/manager was great. excellent customer service, she made sure that we felt safe and helped us with every question. All the amenities were there. Except food. We would have enjoyed it more if it didn’t rain the whole time we were there. Could improve on out house and cookware.

Amazing!

If you want to get away from all the other tourists and enjoy the Alaskan wilderness, this is your spot! Comfortable, off-grid tent cabin on Emily and Richie's homestead with an amazing view of Denali from your camp chair. About 40 minutes from the entrance to Denali National Park. Friendly owners. Great dogs! Got to "camp" in Alaska without bringing any of my gear.

The perfect “glamping” spot

My friends and I had a great time spending our trip to Denali on Emily’s property. The views were beautiful and the tent was packed with everything we might need. It was also very cool going on their dog mushing tour and meeting all the dogs! Emily was very communicative about anything we might need and was always just one text away if we ever had any questions. Overall we had an amazing trip and we’re very satisfied with our stay!
