Perfect Stay

My wife and I stayed at Taiga 2 during our two day visit to Denali National Park. We were very impressed by the excellent condition of the property. Everything was immaculate and looked brand new! This is a studio apartment so the space is relatively compact but that was hardly noticeable because the design was so well thought out. We had everything we needed, including laundry, and we were completely comfortable. What a gem. Proximity to Denali NP was excellent. Taiga 2 was the perfect stay for us on our 40th wedding anniversary trip through Alaska. We definitely recommend this property to any couple looking to stay in the area. Thank you so much for an outstanding experience.

Favorite VRBO in AK

This VRBO was precisely what we needed for our 2 nights/3 days in Denali. Kitchen, laundry, spacious bathroom and bed. Simple but such a thought out and designed space. The host was kind and met us upon arrival. It’s about 20 minutes from the entrance to Denali but honestly it wasn’t an issue and we enjoyed being a little ways from the main tourism sites.

Great place for Denali adventure!

We loved this little studio apt for the time we spent exploring Denali! Everything was as expected from check in (very easy) to the cleanliness of the unit. It was about a 12 minute drive to the entrance of the park which was also away from the "hustle" of Denali village. We loved the peaceful vibe and the ability to make a few meals at "home". The bed was super comfortable which made it easy to sleep in. If your looking for a place to stay while in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to book this place. Todd and Julie, thank you for creating a place for visitors to get a taste of living in AK.

Cozy Home Far Away From Home

The studio rental was amazing! It was clean, well put-together, and had a lot to offer for a small space. We knew we were in the right place when we were greeted by two happy dogs as we pulled in the property. Awesome to have a kitchen, washer/dryer for after a day on trails, awesome relaxing shower, and super comfy bed. Close to town and Denali for the day trips. Felt very private even though it's attached to other units. Owners stopped in to check in, but left us to ourselves - and made sure we knew that they were there if we needed anything. Well worth the cost, and a beautiful property. Walking trail in the back was a great bonus. Stay here - you'll love it!

The bathroom looked very new, with great waterfall shower and a handheld shower head that's very easy to control. It was very new. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the utensils/pots/pans were clean and well organized. The windows could be opened easily for good ventilation. The environment was quiet and peaceful, and it was just a few minutes drive to Denali national park. The only change I'd recommend is better signs for the unit. They might be there but hard to see when we were driving. We spent quite a bit of time finding the place, even though we were practically a few feet from the driveway. I'd highly recommend this place.

Perfect home base for visiting Denali NO

This studio apartment is compact but nicely furnished with essential amenities for travelers visiting Denali. We were able to make a full breakfast in the kitchen before heading out for a long day of hike and tour. The in-unit washer/dryer was greatly appreciated to get clothes cleaned after many sweaty and dusty activities including a fun ATV ride

Perfect location as a base for visiting Denali. Cozy studio perfect for two people. Very quiet area with a nice hike right from the property. The owners are very nice and allowed us to check in early which was much appreciate as it was difficult to determine our exact arrival time due to road closures caused by forest fires. Perfect stay in every way.

We enjoyed our stay in this thoughtfully planned studio. While small, it had everything we needed for cooking and laundry and a comfortable bed to sleep in. The furnishings were up to date and the local artwork was aesthetically pleasing. The shower was big for a small space and the water was always hot. The bbq, just outside the door, was convenient and in top condition. The hosts were friendly and responsive to any questions we had. The houses in the neighborhood are spaced a good distance apart and we had a nice outdoor sitting area outside with lots of trees and an occasional moose sighting. A really great place to stay if your are visiting Denali.

Perfect spot for 3-day trip to Denali NP

My spouse and I were looking for a "landing pad" for our trip to Denali NP. This studio apartment was perfect -- exceedingly well equipped, beautiful views out the windows and we managed to have time to sit outside and watch the sun set a night or two after spending the day exploring the park. It's near an IGA/hardware store and there's a sweet path through the woods behind the house I walked each morning after my first cup of coffee. It's about a 15 min drive to Denali visitor center. Everything was perfect.

Our stay at Taiga 2 was exceptional! It is a very comfortable, clean, well appointed studio apartment that has every thing that you could need! Full kitchen, laundry, coffee maker and lots of extras. Todd greeted us upon our arrival and was as friendly and helpful as could be. After a moose-less day, we came “home” to Taiga 2 and Bullwinkle wandered by about 30 minutes later!

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!
