This quaint, 2-story lakefront cabin has 3-bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a large cold room staging area for winter gear. (1151 sq. ft. of living space.) The master bedroom is on the first floor along with the full bath, kitchen and living area. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs (2 queen beds per bedroom) and a half bath; sleeps 10 based on 2 persons per bed. The Denali cabin living room has seating for five so we supplement with a bean bag and extra chairs as needed. FREE Wi-fi, TV/DVD and Blu-ray, and a radio to tune into public broadcasting. We keep tons of games, puzzles and DVDs for your enjoyment.

Because the cabin sleeps so many guests, our pricing is based on four adults, two night minimum. The Denali is a pet-friendly cabin however we ask that you please respect house rules - no pets on the furniture and bring your own dog bed.

The cabin has a large deck facing the lake with a picnic table, large charcoal grill, and our best view of Mt. Denali. Enjoy watching wildlife on the lake just below your deck. Or, drop a line to catch trout or kayak the lake. Fishing gear and kayaks are provided complimentary for our guests.

Great cabin off the beaten path!

This one may be off the beaten path, but it was in great proximity to many things to do! It was isolated and private, yet felt safe and we woke to beautiful views of Denali on a blue sky day! Plenty of room for four adults. We enjoyed lots of evenings on the back deck, were able to cook great meals, and were surprised that it had WiFi and TV! We enjoyed a great visit with our military son/wife, as well as, activities such as hiking Denali State Park, Zip Lining, and the small town of Trapper Creek and Talkeetna!

Wonderful time

We had a great time! Everything was great, well appointed and comfortable. Mosquitos were bad but that's not the host's fault and plenty of bug spray and a zapper was very helpful. We didn't do much but sleep there and wished we had more time for the lake. A bit off the beaten path but probably just what snowmobilers want. I highly recommend this rental!

Nice clean cabin with lake view

We had a nice stay at the cabin. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Kitchen was small, but it served its purpose. We enjoyed going canoeing as a family on the provided watercraft. The lake was just beautiful. Property managers were very kind, though had some tech issues so we had a few missed communications among us - not unheard of in wild Alaska. Oliver, the dog, was a friendly welcoming face, too. :) I wished there were laundry on site at this price point. Also, the toilet broke twice while we were there one night. The first time, the property manager quickly came over to fix it. The second time was in the middle of the night, so I had to do some light plumbing on my vacation. That was the only major negative in my book, especially given the expense.

Nice quiet getaway

Nine of us stayed at the cabin with the plan to go around Talkeetna and remove ourselves from bigger tourist areas. We had fun and appreciated the cabin.

Why they chose this property

After visiting Gate Creek Cabins for more than 15 years as a winter snowmachining guest, we jumped at the chance to purchase the Denali Cabin two years ago. To our surprise and delight, the Petersville area and cabin life are as lovely in the summer as winter.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is located in the Gate Creek Cabins recreational area and is a short drive to Talkeetna or south Denali for summer visitors. Fall is a perfect time for area hiking, four-wheeling and exploring the area’s mining history. In winter, the Petersville area is famous for its tight knit snowmachining community. The Denali Cabin, located at Gate Creek Cabins, puts you in the center of the action.
