About this property

○ ☽ ☆ Denali Starlight Cabin - Stunning Mountain Views

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil DRY cabin (no running water) perched on a ridge at the edge of Denali National Park, just 2 miles from popular hiking trails. Stunning mountain views from the south facing windows and deck. Located close to the National Park, outside the commercial district, in a quiet residential neighborhood.

There is a kitchen counter, a full sized fridge, and a 4-burner propane range for preparing meals. Dishes, silverware, pans, and a coffee/tea bar provided. Paper towels, dish soap, towel and sponge are also provided.

To ensure you’ll get a good nights sleep before heading out on your Denali adventures, you will have to climb the ladder upstairs to the loft where you’ll find a queen sized Casper Memory Foam mattress (and blackout curtains). Bed linens are provided.

Maximum occupancy is 2 people. Enjoy the books and board games - there is no TV, but we have high speed Starlink internet!

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 are located within two miles, as is the trailheads for the popular Triple Lakes and Nenana River hikes (no fishing license required inside the park).

Guest Access
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 and railroad depot pick-up and drop-offs. Be sure to book in advance. 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.

Guest Interaction
We live in a house located on the same property. You can reach us by text or phone, and we are available to answer questions or offer advice on the local area.

Other things to note

Showers are available at the Riley Creek Mercantile, located 10 miles from the cabin, at the entrance to Denali Park, 7am - 11pm and cost $5 for 10 minutes. We provide towels.
Please don't smoke inside. Smoke whatever you have outside.

About the host

Hosted by Becky & Terry

Host profile image
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 Starlight Cabin.
