About this property

The Taiga House - inspiring mountain views at the edge of Denali National Park

Back on the market after taking 2 years off to rent out yearly.

The Taiga House is located in the forest just north of Denali National Park. Once a spacious B&B known as "The Grand View" it has been remade into a family home with two vacation rentals. Our three bedroom, second floor residence is attached, yet private, with an entrance and yard of it's own, amazing views of the local mountains scenery and abundant charm. It sleeps six, with 2 queen beds and a daybed with trundle bed under, full bath, spacious living room/dining and fully equipped kitchen plus a washer/dryer.
There is a bar-b-que grill, picnic table, fire pit and amazing wilderness just outside the door.
There are restaurants, a brew pub, and a full grocery stores just a ten minute walk down the trail, or a two minute drive away, and many more restaurants, bars and shops twelve miles south in the bustling tourist zone known as Glitter Gulch outside the entrance to Denali Park.

The place was clean, modern, well equipped and best of all, the view from the great room was beautiful! It is about 15 minutes from Denali National Park. The host was friendly and knows a lot about the area. It can be a little challenging to find the first time, but it’s only a couple minutes from the main road in Healy which has a couple restaurants,

Amazing Rental!
This is about 10 minutes from Denali with an awesome view of the mountains. Our hosts seemed to think ahead to provide those extras that were so nice- coffee, nice coffee pot, nice appliances, & plenty of space to put our stuff. They were there on property & welcomed us & asked if there was anything we needed. I definitely recommend this property!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Todd and Julie Shorey

Host profile image
The Taiga House is owned by Todd and Julie Shorey. Todd travelled to Alaska in 1986 and discovered the wonders of Denali National Park and the warmth of the people of the Interior, and never left. He has worked as a tour guide in the summer sun, and a carpenter on many Denali projects through out the winter months. Julie is a life long Alaskan, who grew up just down the road in Cantwell. Our family enjoys salmon fishing, hiking in Denali, picking and eating the seasonal berries, and the winter sports of ice hockey and skiing. Life is good for us here in Healy, and we look forward to sharing our mountain view home with you, and our knowledge of the Alaskan Interior.

Why they chose this property

Our family purchased this house and six acres of property in 2011 as we moved north from McKinley Village, and instantly fell in love with the open landscape that flows from the south door to the Mountains of Denali Park. As a family we have worked together to create a home, as well as guest spaces for visitors to enjoy. We are sure you'll agree that our location is ideal for your once in a lifetime Alaskan experience.

What makes this property unique

Our rental has wonderful mountain views and instant wilderness access, while still being at the edge of town. It is a great home base for your adventures into Denali, a wonderful location to take a morning trail walk with a cup of coffee, and an inviting space to simply relax and enjoy the view. Be our guest and enjoy the rest!
