About this property

Denali Hideaway - Great For Families!

Follow along with our local recommendations at www.denalihideaway.com!

Denali Hideaway is located a half mile off of the Parks Highway, nestled in the small town of Healy, just 11 miles north of Denali National Park. Built by a talented local carpenter, this breathtaking, beautiful Alaskan home is an excellent retreat after a long day of adventuring in Alaska's Interior.

Our two bedroom, one bathroom residence is attached, yet private, with an entrance of its own. It comfortably sleeps four with a queen bed and two twin beds, full bath, living room with a mini-fridge, microwave and other small kitchen appliances to make your stay more enjoyable. The home's original owner and master craftsman took precise care in the building of the entire home - including crafting all of the home's ceilings, support beams and intricacies.

Located in Healy, there are a variety of restaurants, a local brewery, a small convenience store, a quaint local coffee shop, an Alaskan lake and many local trails. For more entertainment, restaurants and activities, simply drive 11 miles to just outside the entrance to Denali National Park. This bustling tourist hub, known to locals as "Glitter Gulch", is home to dozens of restaurants, nightly shows, several gift shops as well as your gateway to many more adventurous activities.

The location was close to Denali, which was perfect. Communication was excellent--we were having trouble connecting to their wifi to look up trails and it was fixed quickly. The beds were very comfortable. We'd stay here again!

Location and view were great! We really enjoyed our stay and meeting many individuals within the community. Overall, the cabin was very clean, with the exception of a few of the pans that had had burnt on food and carbon that we needed to remove and clean before using. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home.

Amazing facility! Very new and cosy, well decorated, very comfortable, very close to everything, both woods and restaurants. The host Kami is very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. The best stay we’ve had in Alaska so far. We’ll definitely stay here again when visiting Denali.

We had a great time here. The place has lots of thoughtful touches and the hosts were very friendly. You do have to drive down a gravel road for a bit to get there but it was worth it for a cozy place to stay and a far more affordable experience than staying in Denali itself. It’s only about a 20 minute drive to the park.

Check in very easy, location was challenging to find - the deep woods location was lovely however the directions to the house were hard to follow and somewhat confusing. The space itself was clean and welcoming.

Good location, interior door between garage and living space (not an exterior door sealing the two places separate so VRBO smelled like garage/ mildew). Most things were surface clean, like a hotel. Entry way photos are slightly deceptive.

We had a great stay at Denali Hideaway! Convenient location (15 min to Denali NP), with dining options nearby. Kami is one of the most generous hosts in our experience with vacation rentals - more coffee than we could ever drink in a 2 day stay, plenty of towels, bug spray and even bear spray. The unit was clean and spacious. Kids enjoyed playing Jenga & Uno and we loved all the national park touches (down to the Kleenex boxes!). She’s really thought of everything. Kami was also very responsive & proactive with communications. We would absolutely stay here again if we plan another Denali trip!

About the host

Hosted by Kami

Host profile image
This home is owned by Dakota and Kami MacIver. They are both lifelong Alaskans & high school sweethearts who settled down in their hometown to raise a family of their own. Our growing family enjoys many of Alaska's abundant resources such as: fishing in south central Alaska, subsistence hunting and gathering berries in the fall, and managing a trapline in the winter. We also enjoy camping, taking out our ATV, and coaching youth hockey in the winter. We are also active members of our local church and enjoy volunteering there too.

What makes this property unique

This property is perfect for staying with families. With one bedroom for parents, and another bedroom for kids, there's still room to play in the living area!
