Great stay

The property was beautiful and close to the park. It was in a great location. We had the best prime rib dinner at a restaurant right down the street at the creekside cafe. The house was exactly as pictured.

Perfectly located Denali log cabin

The house could not have been in a better location, only a few miles down the road from the national park. The cabin was clean and very well stocked. Communication with the owners was easy and responsive. When we are back, we’d definitely stay again!

Beautiful cabin close to airstrip and Denali Park

Our whole family enjoyed staying at this picturesque cabin. We all enjoyed watching the planes take-off a land. The cabin was very comfortable, cozy and close to Denali National Park. Owners were very communicative and checked in during our stay to make sure there was nothing we needed.

Cozy Cabin

6 people (4 adults, 1 teen, and a 10-year-old). The house was charming in every way possible. The location was fabulous and we did everything we wanted to do. The planes landing and taking off were a highlight! We didn't realize it until we left, but we really enjoyed the privacy as well.

This place was GREAT! All the light switched where labeled, the place was clean, enough towels for everybody, we had 4 adults and didn't feel crowded. We basically used it for a place to sleep while we visited Denali. We saw one plane take off and that was pretty neat. Very easy to locate while driving down the road.Brian

Nice Get Away

Wanted to stay near Denali National Park and this cabin greatly accommodated that, at only 10 minutes away. The airstrip was neat to watch planes come and go, but sometimes woke up little kids. Can't have it all!

This is a fantastic log house! Our party of 6 adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners have thought of everything. We also loved being adjacent to the air strip - it was such a novelty and we ran outside every time we heard a plane to watch it land. Do bring sleep masks in the spring/summer because, although there are room darkening curtains on most windows, there are none on the front door and this light carries up to the loft bedroom and sleeper sofa. We were so happy to find this house! Thank you for an unforgettable trip.

We wanted to open our 2 homes for other travelers to enjoy our Alaskan nature and relax at the same time.
