Very secluded and quiet. Good instructions from owner for finding the property. The two beds are in separate rooms which we appreciated. Has a nice kitchenette although we did not use.

Denali North

Our host Joe was attentive to our questions and needs. The place is a downstairs apartment and was quite adequate for our four adults. We would have enjoyed use of the deck and outside furniture so we could have sat outside. Typical to most Alaskan homes in the interior, everything has a second or third life so there are number of vehicles, etc... around the outside of the property. Loved being in the country seating with a private runway. The dog Koda is very friendly and welcomes you on every arrival.

Great Spot with everything you need!

I stayed here March 2023 and used as a base while out Mushing and Winter Camping in the Park. I checked in late around 7PM due to traveling from Anchorage. Host was very nice and professional and even helped me carry my bags to the apartment. Everything was great. Beds were comfortable. Everything needed for cooking, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, etc. was available. Shower was nice and hot and had great water pressure. Water quality was also good too and didn't smell or appear rusty like much of the ground water in AK is. I enjoyed staying here as it was perfect for my needs and the location was very convenient. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice place near Denali

The basement apartment is pretty small and basic, but is perfectly adequate. It is a short drive from Denali, and makes an excellent base for trips into the park. We saw a moose on the owner's landing strip.

One night stay

We stayed in this location on our way from Fairbanks to Anchorage. Wanted a place to stay that was close to Denali Park. This fit the needs. One comment I would make is there was a shortage of washcloths and hand towels. Other than that we were very pleased with our stay.

Nice grass airstrip - handy for our group

Since we had both a small plane and private vehicle for our group, this home was handy. The downstairs unit is a bit dark in terms of not much natural light, but that could be an advantage for those who find the Alaska "midnight sun" too much for sleeping. When we had questions or requests, the owner was very responsive.

We love your dogs!!!

We had a 3 night stays here and we really enjoyed our quiet relaxing vacation. Every night we get back from our long hiking trips from Denali, we were greeted by two super friendly dogs, Coda and Trigger. They are so so sweet, I almost wanted to kidnap them and bring them back to California. LOL

Good for solo or larger groups

I was solo traveling through AK and the host let me stay at the last second when I decided not to camp. I appreciated that there was plenty of space in the basement guest house, since it can be a little nerve wracking when solo, but he was very courteous. He also let me know when the northern lights were occurring, which was beautiful bc the location is remote enough that there’s no light pollution but only 1-2 miles of the main road. I really appreciated my stay and time here!

Denali Lottery Weekend

This location is in Healy, AK. About 5 min way from a grocery store and a little further to the famous 49th State Restaurant (only open in the Summer). It is about a 20-25 min drive out from the Denali National Park Entrance. We stayed here the Denali Lottery Weekend and it was a spacious basement with two queens and a futon. We traveled with a baby, toddler, and preschooler and this location fulfilled our needs. It could easily sleep 6 larger humans if you needed it. We brought our own travel crib, but they did have one available in their closet. They also had kids toys and movies appropriate children. In addition, they had everything we needed to cook a couple of simple meals. Overall, the owners and their animals were very friendly. We had a beautiful weekend at the park with full views of Denali! Note: They have Wifi, but cell service was limited while in the basement (it's to be expected).

Affordable Base to Explore Denali

This basement apartment provided my family of five a fine base for our trip to Denali. It would have been a bit tight if we’d spent much time there, but it worked great for preparing meals in the fully equipped kitchen and sleeping.

North Denali Inn

Great property to stay at if you’re planning on visiting Denali NP. The property beds 4 easily with plenty of space, and neatly stocked kitchen and plenty of privacy. IMHO it’s more than enough if you’re just planning to spend the entire day outside and just need a place to crash. If you’re confused by the musty smell it’s only because it’s a basement; easily cleared up by opening a window. The owner is a wonderful person, and is very responsive to any requests or questions. Meeting his dogs and chickens are a great bonus !

About the host

Hosted by Joseph Garner

I have lived in Alaska for ten years now and in the Denali area for eight years. I was brought up here with the Air Force and now work for the Air National Guard. I enjoy hiking, camping, hunting, fishing and am passionate about flying. I also enjoy muscle cars. I am a dad of three great kids who live with me and keep me busy as a single dad.

Why they chose this property

One of the main reasons I moved to this property is because of my enjoyment of flying and working on cars. I also love the beautiful wooded setting.

What makes this property unique

The main unique benefit of the home is the hangar, runway, and the apartment adjoined to the home. The neighbors are wonderful and have often expressed their enjoyment of watching the airplane.
