This is one of the nicest VRBO property’s I’ve stayed at. The host’s David & Shannon were very attentive during our entire stay. The cottage has it all, great location, nicely appointed, tastefully decorated and spotless. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

This cottage was a fantastic place for us to stay in Healy! Very close to Denali National Park. Everything was top notch. We especially loved how all drawers and cabinets in the kitchen were labeled so we could easily find everything. This place was tidy, cozy, and very private! We would love to stay here again sometime! We loved the Antler Ridge Trail, which was less than ten minutes away!

Beautiful home, So well organized and so quiet. Very convenient to get to Denali National Park. The Cottage at Dry Creek had everything we needed and Shannon and David were quick to respond to messages. Communication regarding directions were easy to follow. Highly recommend this home. Clean, comfortable, and it was nice to be able to wash a load of laundry before heading to our next destination.

We had a great stay! The home was exactly as described, very clean, and incredibly well stocked with everything from bear spray and cleaning supplies to condiments and food storage. The beds were comfortable with extra bedding available, directions were clear and easy to follow, and the hosts were very communicative and easy to reach throughout our stay. The views were beautiful, and it was the perfect home base for exploring Denali National Park. The only slightly unusual thing was that the shower didn’t have a door or curtain, but with the bath mat down, it really wasn’t an issue. Overall, a great stay and we would definitely recommend!

Fantastic place close to Denali. Clean, very generously supplied, easy to find, and great communication from owner. Several places to eat nearby or a grocery store. Beautiful views and a grill and patio out back. It was the perfect spot to stay for a visit to Denali or the general area.

The inside of the cottage is super cozy with comfortable chairs/couch and beds. The kitchen is spacious. The owners have labeled everything and have provided pretty much everything you would need other than groceries to make full meals (coffee, spices, etc. are provided). The view from the back porch is gorgeous. I would highly recommend this property as a quiet place to stay on a trip to Denali.

Beautiful remote cabin and view. Slept five comfortably. Interior excellently stocked and clean. Everything being labeled was great. Direction to place was well marked. Host responsive by text. We were little disappointed regarding extra charge for over looking notifying the hosts beforehand about the fifth person when the cabin is advertised to sleeps five. Otherwise great place to stay if visiting Denali.

The owners have thought of every detail! I’ve stayed in MANY rentals over the years and this home stood out to me as an owner that cares about their customers experience. It was so nice to have the essentials stocked and ready for us which helped us enjoy the vacation that much more. The location was quiet and we had a beautiful view to wake up to every morning before heading out to Denali.
