Why they chose this property
We have another VRBO just 2 miles off of the Denali highway, at Cantwell, and decided to buy another property to share. The Property at Cantwell is called "Gorgeous Lakeside Chalet" and if the log home isn't available, you may check this property out as well.
We wanted to open our 2 homes for other travelers to enjoy our Alaskan nature and relax at the same time.
