About this property

Great views from A Second Home in Denali, vacation rental, close to the Park!

A Second Home has four bedrooms and two and a half bedrooms, LARGE dining room with a table for all, kitchen and living room, and laundry room. Each bedroom has its own TV and there is a LARGE screen TV in the living room. Guests often mention the home has beautiful views and is spacious for families and friends to gather comfortably.

You will see more trees and mountains than people when you are here. THIS PROPERTY HAS TO BE OWNER-OCCUPIED, AS PER HOA RULES.. Owners' space is a completely separate area with a different area.

Second Home has a LARGE, private deck in the backyard that looks out on mountain views. It's the only Denali vacation rental with a completely paved driveway and parking area and two acres of quiet lawns and woodlands. It has a turn-around driveway with plenty of space for parking.

Owners are year-round Alaskans who have been hosting guests for 36 years in the Denali Area. They book rental cars and give accurate tour desk information. They offer free transfers to and from the Denali Depot if you book a rental car and reserve train tickets through them.. If you are confused about tours and transit buses and attraction in the Park, ask your hosts.

They have up-to-date information about Denali National Park, the area and the state. Their tips will save you money and time. Example: be sure to take the East Fork Transit Bus for $33.25 (2024 prices) instead of the Tundra Wilderness Tour for $144.00. The transit bus is narrated too. Please ask if you have Denali questions.

Great family home

Very comfortable stay and very convenient to Denali. Nice grocery store and gas station a short drive away. Salt lick attracted a moose a few times which was fun to watch. Gorgeous views and very quiet.

Quiet getaway

The property is very quiet and peaceful. It was very clean, stocked with all the necessities and the property owner was very responsive. We enjoyed the close location to Denali and a local grocery store! The highlight of the stay was a moose and her twin babies who visited the backyard on a daily basis!

Our stay at Second Home in Denali was exceptional!

Ann proactively shared useful tips before our arrival. She personally greeted us and showed off the house. The space was spotless, the bedrooms spacious, the kitchen was well-equipped. Stunning views and a memorable visit from a mother moose and her two calves made our stay unforgettable. Thank you, Ann!

Beautiful Visit to Denali

This home is a great place to stay for your Denali visit. It is very clean, in a great location, and has everything you need. The bonus was that a cow moose and her calf visited the back yard everyday while we were there. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Host profile image
We are year-round Alaskans. Ann is a retired teacher; Terry is a retired federal worker, and Bart works in the Healy bank. We own a B&B, this vacation rental and a car rental in Healy.

Why they chose this property

Most likely you will see more trees and mountains than people when you stay at A Second Home in Denali. It is on a quiet street two blocks from "downtown" Healy, which is the closest year-round community to Denali National Park. It is a clean, quiet and well-appointed property run by year-round Alaskans. This property is in an HOA that requires the property be owner occupied.

Second Home has four lockable bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. It has two acres of lawns and forest. There are beautiful mountain views from the back of the home.

It is 1/2 mile from Highway #3. It's close enough to restaurants and attractions and tours, and far enough away to be quiet and private.

What makes this property unique

There are many features provided for your comfort: dishwasher, laundry room with washer, dryer, and hanging racks, BBQ, large porches, coded entry, TV's in every bedroom and in the large living room, pellet stove for that fireplace feeling without the mess, stocked kitchen, microwave, two ovens, extra drawer in the refrigerator, and more.

The owners have been hosting guests in the Denali area for 33 years. They know Denali National Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. They personally know the restaurants, activities, railroad destinations and flight companies. They can save you 5% on many Denali attractions. They provide rental cars with free pick up and delivery back when you rent a car from their Keys to Denali, car rental. They can save you 5% on railroad tickets throughout the state, 5% on fjords trips and 5% on flights around Denali.
