About this property
☆ Denali Sunset House - Wild scenery with creature comforts!
A spacious craftsman-built home perched on a ridge at the edge of the park. You will enjoy beautiful mountain views out every window, while savoring your morning coffee or a glass of wine on the upper or lower decks. You won't even notice the lack of a TV. There is a full kitchen complete with a crock pot and coffee maker, and an outdoor grill for preparing meals with your family or friends. Spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds ensure you’ll get a good nights sleep before heading out on your Denali adventures. Providing an alternative to the crowding noise and traffic of Denali’s hotel strip, our house was designed with a focus on providing relaxing spaces for hanging out, socializing or solitude.
Our home has been featured in Travel & Leisure's "7 Stunning Homes Near National Parks You Can Book on VRBO."
There is room in the house for a maximum of 10 people. There is one downstairs bedroom and three bedrooms upstairs. For new parents, a pack & play is located in the upstairs closet. It costs $50 a night for each additional person over 6 guests. If you want to have more than 6 people, please keep in mind that there is only one shower (in downstairs bath). Upstairs, there is a half bath and a sink, a washer and a dryer. You may also book our small dry cabin across the driveway. The Denali Moonrise Cabin will sleep 2 guests and has an outhouse and outdoor shower.
No pets allowed, please.
If you plan to arrive by train to Denali, you will need a rental car to get around the local area and to our house. "Keys to Denali" and "Alaska Auto Rental" located locally in Healy offers rental vehicles (including 12-passenger vans) and railroad depot pick-up and drop-offs. Be sure to book in advance.
For a fly over of the house, go to Denali Sunset House on youtube.
You will have access to the entire house, except the garage. This includes upstairs and downstairs decks, the yard surrounding the house, and of course you can step into endless wilderness just by walking down our driveway.
The home is located a mile off the Parks Highway, just a 10 mile drive to the Denali Park Visitor Center and the train depot, and the main hotel/restaurant and shopping zone. A few restaurants, and a nice locally owned cafe and art gallery are located within two miles, as is the trailhead for the popular Triple Lakes hike (no fishing license required inside the park).
We live close by. You can reach us by text or phone. We are happy to answer questions or offer advice on the local area.
We would suggest that you buy your groceries in Fairbanks or Anchorage. Although, there is a small supermarket 20 miles north in Healy. There are convenience stores around here, but they are limited and more expensive. We provide all linens, dish soap, trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper. A coffee maker is provided. The 1.5 mile road from the highway to our house is a maintained gravel road. It should not pose any problem for any vehicle.
Enjoy the books and board games - there is no TV, but we have high speed Starlink internet!
Minimum stay two nights, please. At times, we will get that odd night that is available between two bookings. We will consider waiving the two night minimum stay in unique cases like this.

About the host
Hosted by Becky & Terry
Terry and I are both long-term residents of the Denali area. We live in a lovely log cabin that Terry built nearby in the early 1990's. We both work driving tours in the park. Over the past 30 years, we have brought more than 200,000 people into Denali to experience the incredible wildlife and the beauty of the vast, wild spaces.
We often travel during the off-season (Becky has visited over 30 countries!) and have had some wonderful experiences using VRBO. We find that staying in local neighborhoods, rather than isolated “tourist zones”, gives us a better understanding and appreciation of the places we visit. We have enjoyed meeting people from around the world and are very excited about running a VRBO of our own!
We want to help you to get the most out of your visit, starting with a clean and comfortable “home away from home” at our Denali Sunset House.
