Everything about this home is plush and luxurious, and no expense was spared on even the smallest of details. This night stay was the only time on our trip to Alaska that we wish we had more time to spend indoors!

Beautiful view, had everything we needed. We were about 30 minutes from Denali. We hiked in the park, rented a sided by side and electric bikes. The sky cleared the last day and we got to see Mt. McKinley from the upstairs balcony. JennyLancaster, Pa

Clean and the home was layed out great for our family. The washer and dryer in the basement were handy since we were going to be traveling for 10 days. It’s a beautiful area. The first couple of days were unusually warm. A fan in the downstairs bedroom would have helped.

We loved our stay here nearby Denali. Great location, not too far from the park entrance. Beautiful views out every window and from the big deck. If only the neighbor to the southwest hadn't built his house directly in the view of Denali—when it's out. ;-)In addition to location, this may be the cleanest, most well-maintained vacation rental we've ever stayed in. More so, we had the pleasure to meet the owners too—gracious, hard working folks who are easy to love.(Bonus: Do not miss The McKinley Creekside Cafe half way between the house and the park entrance on the Parks Highway. We ate there three times last trip and twice this trip. So good!)

Loved the cabin and enjoyed meeting our host Kelly who was very informative. If you don’t like skins and hunting mounts, it’s not for you but we loved it. Hot tub was a nice bonus. Views are beautiful. Not much around it. Gas was almost 7 a gallon. We drove back to Healy for food and gas. About 30 minutes to Denali NP.

Superior, exceptionally well-appointed home. Remote enough to experience Alaska while remaining convenient to Denali. Lux-rustic feel. Very comfortable home - would have to say that this may be the best VRBO we have ever rented, and that's saying something.

David, Thank you for the fantastic review. Cheryl and Rebecca put a lot of hard work in and it pays off in one of the most difficult environments on planet earth. It is our piece of paradise and we are great full to share with you and others. Thank you again, safe travels and we hope to see you again. Rebecca said that you guys took immaculate care of the house and she said to give you a 10 star rating if we could since the system only allows a 5 star. Kelly & Cheryl
