Great place to stay near Denali

Cabin will easily accommodate 6 adults. Property is very clean and as advertised. Kitchen is well equipped and comes with a lot of different spices which really helps with cooking in. The owners are a pleasure to interact with. Distance to the Denali park entrance is probably a 10 minute drive.

Beautiful place near Denali

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

Why they chose this property

We have another VRBO just 2 miles off of the Denali highway, at Cantwell, and decided to buy another property to share. The Property at Cantwell is called "Gorgeous Lakeside Chalet" and if the log home isn't available, you may check this property out as well.
We wanted to open our 2 homes for other travelers to enjoy our Alaskan nature and relax at the same time.

We feel that MP 229.5 is the most centrally located property in relation to Glitter Gulch, Denali National Park and activities taking place between the Park and the Denali Highway to the South
