Cabin was clean and exactly what we were looking for after long days exploring Denali. Beautiful mountain views out of the windows. Nice big kitchen and living room to hang out and comfortable beds for a good night sleep. David and Shannon communicated quickly and clearly. If we find ourselves back in this part of Alaska we will definitely stay there again.

Wow! I’ve stayed in many short term rentals and this was the best! I’m a Superhost myself and only wish my listing was this dialed in. Great communication, spotless and comfortable house, everything you need (even labeled), beautiful view. If you’re going to Denali and this place is available, grab it.

Cottage was extremely comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed and more. Easy access to the town and grocery store but a little off the beaten path and quiet. Would definitely recommend!

From the moment I arrived, this beautiful cottage in Healy felt like a hidden gem. Nestled within just a short drive from the entrance to Denali National Park, the location couldn’t have been more ideal. Waking up each morning and heading straight out for glacier views and wildlife felt both effortless and exhilarating.Inside, the house had everything I needed—and then some. Thoughtful amenities made it feel like a true home away from home with stocked essentials and cozy comforts.

This is a wonderful VRBO—one of the best we’ve stayed in. All of the details were thought of, right down to the starter half and half and a stick of butter! Well organized and super cozy—perfect for our family of three’s Denali vacation. Would absolutely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay! The owners give really great detailed directions for how to find it since it is a little bit near the edge of the grid. But that is a huge part of the charm! It is so quiet and beautiful and peaceful. The house is spotless and full of all the amenities described. We would 100% stay here again!
