About this property

Close to Denali National Park

The apartment has one bedroom, one bathroom and a kitchen stocked with basic kitchen tools and utinsils. The apartment is located at the back of the home and is a basement apartment. There is additional sleeping in the living room area for a total of up to 5. For pilots, the home is located on a private runway with tie downs. For non pilots, or those concerned about aircraft noise, the owner is the only one flying in or out of the runway. Air traffic is very minimal. The home sets in a quiet neighborhood tucked in the woods with mountain views from a short stroll in front of the house.

    Great value and location

    Joseph was a great host - and my family even got to enjoy seeing him fly off on his on plane! Nice little bonus for the little guy for sure!The place was located in an area close enough to the national park and was a great value for the price. Everything was well furnished inside.

    Nice House. The basement touch is interesting. Especially in summer it was great, as it gave the impression of dusk so sleeping was easier. Apartment had everything we wanted as far as kitchen supplies, extra bedding etc. would recommend for a stay to others.

    Perfect home

    The home was perfect for us while we visited Denali National Park! We felt right at home. All of the Alaska decor was a great touch. The home was clean and had everything we needed. Great to have a grocery store so close by too! Thank you we will be back someday.

    North Denali Inn

    Great property to stay at if you’re planning on visiting Denali NP. The property beds 4 easily with plenty of space, and neatly stocked kitchen and plenty of privacy. IMHO it’s more than enough if you’re just planning to spend the entire day outside and just need a place to crash. If you’re confused by the musty smell it’s only because it’s a basement; easily cleared up by opening a window. The owner is a wonderful person, and is very responsive to any requests or questions. Meeting his dogs and chickens are a great bonus !

    Nicely maintained apartment

    I stayed here for two nights and it was perfect. I was in town for Denali and this property provided all the amenities I needed (eg fridge, large bathroom, comfy bed). The apartment is behind the back under the main house. The family was there when I was but we only crossed paths once and there was no noise from upstairs. I was a little surprised they require guests to clean the sink, shower, toilet and change the sheets but I had no problem doing so. Super close to the healy restaurants yet in a quiet, relaxed area. The owner was also very responsive to any questions I had which is greatly appreciated.

    Great Spot with everything you need!

    I stayed here March 2023 and used as a base while out Mushing and Winter Camping in the Park. I checked in late around 7PM due to traveling from Anchorage. Host was very nice and professional and even helped me carry my bags to the apartment. Everything was great. Beds were comfortable. Everything needed for cooking, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, etc. was available. Shower was nice and hot and had great water pressure. Water quality was also good too and didn't smell or appear rusty like much of the ground water in AK is. I enjoyed staying here as it was perfect for my needs and the location was very convenient. I would definitely stay here again.

    Denali North

    Our host Joe was attentive to our questions and needs. The place is a downstairs apartment and was quite adequate for our four adults. We would have enjoyed use of the deck and outside furniture so we could have sat outside. Typical to most Alaskan homes in the interior, everything has a second or third life so there are number of vehicles, etc... around the outside of the property. Loved being in the country seating with a private runway. The dog Koda is very friendly and welcomes you on every arrival.

    THe unit made us wish we had booked earlier.

    We waited too long to book a place for our Denali visit and this place was the last place available. The basement apartment is dank and dark and fully uninviting. Very few kitchen supplies (pots, pans and utensils) and very limited seating or lighting. The actual setting might have been improved with a chair or two outside since the unit is located on the edge of the woods. Only saw the owner once and was barely acknowledged which, in retrospect, might have been a good thing. Overall, if you have other options act on them quickly, you will be sorely disappointed in this unit.

    We felt very uncomfortable after meeting host and the fact that he did not want us to drive around close to the entry as he did not want tire tracks back there, but there were tire tracks already there. The entry stairs were full of cobwebs. We never did get inside and ended up staying at a hotel in town and cut our trip short. I sent a message through VRBO to let the host know but he decided to call me a liar. Most hosts that are there when their paying guests are arriving would be welcoming but this was not the case. We were 3 women traveling and felt unsafe and unwelcome. Host not willing to work with me on any refund, not even partial. I reached out to VRBO at the time but could only reach an AI on chat and that was not helpful either. Live and learn, and will avoid 3rd party sites for booking.

    If you happen to have AT&T, you may not have cell service when you arrive. Luckily the wifi is no problem! Joe helped us get situated after we discovered my oversight of not screenshotting the information.Koda, the dog and a cat who's name I forgot welcomed us to the location and helped lead us to the back entrance both are quite cute and probably keep other animals at bay.The views in the back yard are nice. The entrance to the basement unit is clean and quiet. Ita no frills but has everything needed (except a washer-dryer, but that is known from the profile). We really liked the space and it was adequate for 2 adults and 1 child. Water was hot in the shower too.One repair that could be used may be the coffee machine which took 4 cups of water for 1 serving of coffee.

    The basement apartment is pretty small and basic, but is perfectly adequate. It is a short drive from Denali, and makes an excellent base for trips into the park. We saw a moose on the owner's landing strip.

    About the host

    Hosted by Joseph Garner

    Host profile image
    I have lived in Alaska for ten years now and in the Denali area for eight years. I was brought up here with the Air Force and now work for the Air National Guard. I enjoy hiking, camping, hunting, fishing and am passionate about flying. I also enjoy muscle cars. I am a dad of three great kids who live with me and keep me busy as a single dad.

    Why they chose this property

    One of the main reasons I moved to this property is because of my enjoyment of flying and working on cars. I also love the beautiful wooded setting.

    What makes this property unique

    The main unique benefit of the home is the hangar, runway, and the apartment adjoined to the home. The neighbors are wonderful and have often expressed their enjoyment of watching the airplane.
