The ground floor contains the living quarters, including three bedrooms and two full bathrooms with all the amenities of a home. Two bedrooms have a queen and twin bed, while the third bedroom has a king, comfortably fitting up to eight guests. The second floor has a semi-private office nook and an open kitchen, dining, and living area with 360 majestic views of mountains in all directions. A wraparound second-floor porch is a perfect place to grill, relax, and look for wildlife after a long day of adventuring and exploring, either in the park or in the uninhabited backcountry a short walk from the property.
If you plan to use the kitchen during your stay, please know that the nearest full-size grocery store is approximately 25 minutes away (north). It's best to get groceries on your way (Healy if traveling from the north, Wasilla/Talkeetna if traveling from the south) or plan to eat at the local restaurants.
The house is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between guests, but no housekeeping will be done during your stay. Before leaving, please make sure to tidy the home and place any used dishes in the dishwasher. Laundry is available for guest use, and the house will be heated to 70F (21C) by in-floor heating for your arrival (adjustable during your stay via thermostat). Electric heaters are also available in the bedrooms if it gets extra chilly.
We have a few neighboring houses in sight, but you'll visit true backcountry Alaska.
Finally, our friendly, knowledgeable property manager will stay out of your way but is next door along the private drive for any questions about the area or the property during your stay.

Great relaxing alternative to the busy lodges near the park entrance. Beautiful views. Newer feeling clean house. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout. Hosts were terrific and very responsive. Great restaurants nearby. Would definitely recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ridgeview. The setting is stunning, and the house is beautiful. There is a coffee shop/restaurant within walking distance that serves incredible pastries. If we return to Denali, we would definitely rent this property again. Thank you, Mike and Erin.
This is a fabulous property, even better than the photos! It is beautifully furnished and thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed, and we opted to have all of our meals here. It is very clean and with comfortable beds. As someone who is sensitive to fragrance, I was delighted to note there were no strong fragrances used anywhere in the property. The hosts were very responsive and shared tips on where to go nearby. And the best part was waking up to a moose and her calf in the yard!
The property is very well maintained and super clean. The location is beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked with all equipment to cook or bake. The living room was well set up for our group of 8 to all comfortably sit and visit. The beds were comfortable and the black out curtains aided in our sleep during the 20 hours of daylight. The bathrooms were very clean and provided plenty of warm water. The hosts were exceptional. They prompted responded to our many pre-arrival questions and offered information on the area.
Amazing home! Very beautiful views all the way around. Very clean, many amenities, hosts were very responsive. One of the best VRBOs we have stayed at, and we have stayed at many!

Thank you, Nanette. We are so very happy that our home is one of your best stays! Travel well, Mike and Erin
Denali wouldn't have been the same if we had stayed anywhere else. This house was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The only thing that rivaled it was our flightseeing tour with Denali Air, located just a few miles away.I was a bit leery about the price, especially since I had never used VRBO before, but everything went smoothly and was beyond expectations. The owners provided clear instructions on how to find the house using the mile markers, and I had no trouble locating it.This rental truly makes you feel at home. In my opinion, the views were even better than what we saw on the Denali bus tour because you're much closer to the mountains. The home was fully furnished and stocked with everything we needed, including kitchen utensils and cookware, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and even snacks.One of the highlights was seeing a moose and her two calves every evening around 10 p.m. when they would wander by. We had a wonderful stay and would gladly return.
Beautiful, well-appointed cabin close to the National park and in walking distance of two restaurants. Mike and Erin are easy to communicate with and ensures that we had everything we needed for our stay.

Wonderful group of people to host. They were clean the tidy on time and wonderful to deal with. Would love to host them again.
Wonderful home with beautiful views! We enjoyed our stay here a great deal and would highly recommend this home. The hosts were also very accommodating and responsive. Upon their direction we were able to find and pick fresh blueberries and eat at the nearby cozy cafe. Loved our time here!
This was simply wonderful. Fantastic views, open space, amazingly comfortable furniture, well appointed kitchen, super comfortable beds; every detail was considered for a super comfortable stay! The VRBO was clean, the hosts communicative and the location to the park was perfect. All of these combined for a wonderful, memorable stay! We wished we had more time!
The property sits at the base of the mountains with amazing views all around, super clean, well appointed with everything you would need as if you were at home & high quality house construction. We would love to stay longer. The hosts are super friendly & helpful!

Thank you, Toni for your kind review. We enjoyed hosting you. Travel well! Mike and Erin
We had a wonderful stay at Ridgeview! The house is beautiful, comfortable and well supplied. The location is great, with easy access to the park, and the view of the mountains outside the living room windows is fabulous. The owners were very attentive too. I highly recommend staying at Ridgeview.
We had a fantastic time at this cabin. It was spacious, clean, and had a wonderful view of the mountains. Proximity to Denali National Park was also great and the surrounding restaurants were perfect for easy dinners after a full day in the park. Would recommend this spot to anyone!

We enjoyed hosting Cailey and her family. Great guests! I hope they return. Happy to host them again.
Our group of three couples loved our stay at Ridgeview. The location to Denali was perfect, beautiful scenery, quiet, with two delicious restaurants you could walk to. The top floor living space is perfect for relaxing after busy days of adventures. Beautiful wrap around deck too! Everything we needed for cooking and grilling was provided. Hosts were very helpful with suggestions and communication was great.
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous mountain home. All was wonderful! Conveniently located to the park, luxurious cabin, well-equipped in every way.
Really great, spacious home in a gorgeous setting only minutes from Denali NP entrance! Super clean, organized, and furnished! Three generations of family would go back in a heartbeat!
We love the place. It was perfect for our families - 3 generations. Erin provided accurate and detailed info about the place and surrounding area. We bought some food from grocery to supplement restaurant food 8 minutes walk away. Some of saw a mama and baby moose one morning in the front yard.
Beautiful setting. 360 views. House was spacious, clean, comfortable and peaceful, updated and well-appointed. Close to DNP. We prepared breakfast and dinner and kitchen was well supplied. Plenty of room for 5 of us. Easy check in with code entry.
