About this property

Come enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains overlooking Fish Lake in a comfortable ranch style home. Two large decks (one covered) to take it all in. All this only eight minutes from Talkeetna. This off-grid home is the perfect place to unplug, relax and enjoy the constantly changing views that nature provides.

The house is a two hour drive from Anchorage on the Parks Highway. The three bedroom, four bathroom ranch style house with two decks provides ample space for a modest sized group. The home is perched on a bluff overlooking Birch Creek which flows into the lake. There are views from every bedroom and a trail down to the creek if you want a closer look.

Family Getaway

Far View Denali House is a comfortable, thoughtfully designed and well maintained home at the end of a dirt and gravel road about 1.5 miles off the Talkeetna Spur Road. My wife and I stayed there in July 2023 with our adult daughter and her two girls, who are 4 and 7. We had 4 days of "liquid sunshine" so appreciated the coziness of the cabin, including the wood stove and the plethora of games and toys to supplement those we had brought along. The girls particularly enjoyed the age appropriate scavenger hunt to find objects around the extensive property. We also appreciated the ground coffee in the nicely appointed kitchen on our first morning, before we had an opportunity to obtain our own provisions. The access road's intersection with the Spur Road is about 7 miles from downtown Talkeetna, affording ample opportunity for the many restaurants and activities on offer there in addition to just hanging out and enjoying quality family time at the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Ken and Heidi Schulz

We, Ken and Heidi, moved to Alaska in 2009. We made many friends through our outdoor activities - hiking, biking, fishing, camping, and skiing. We are both originally from Nebraska although we have not lived there in over 30 years, but we both still have family there. One of our big communities in Alaska has been nordic skiing, our son got into racing while he was in high school. That eventually lead us to Talkeetna and the Oosik Ski race that is held in March every year. Over the years one think lead to another and now we have a beautiful property that we share with you.

Why they chose this property

Quite simply the views this property has to offer are breathtaking. There are views from the decks, the great room has warm views by the wood stove, and each bedroom has view. The mountains are a special treat when they allow you to see them, but even when they are hiding there is plenty to see. There are a constant supply of birds but our stars are a pair of Tundra Swans that have made this their summer home. They find a nest, lay eggs, then we feature the young swans (cygnets) that hatch about a month later. They spend the rest of the summer on the creek and lake until they are ready to fly away in October. Whenever you come there will be something to see.

What makes this property unique

We are two miles off the paved highway leading into Talkeetna, but when you drive those two miles you are at the end of the line, it goes no further. It feels like a remote property, the kind you have to take a float plane to get to. We are off the main power grid, we have a power system consisting of a generator, solar and batteries. Pretty much all the comforts of home. We are remote but still just ten minutes from Talkeetna and some great restaurants, a great combination when you don't feel like cooking.
