Excellent stay here during our trip, so close to the park and excellent amenities. The room was cozy for 2 with thoughtful design and decorations. The host greeted us during checkin to welcome. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We loved our stay! Will stay here again in future
This place is very clean and organized, good for a small family or a couple. The owners are really nice and friendly. We are glad that we picked this place.
The property had everything we needed and was quite efficient. Great views of the property, good location, near to Denali Park and grocery store. great bathroom, comfortable bed.
Perfect location as a base for visiting Denali. Cozy studio perfect for two people. Very quiet area with a nice hike right from the property. The owners are very nice and allowed us to check in early which was much appreciate as it was difficult to determine our exact arrival time due to road closures caused by forest fires. Perfect stay in every way.
This studio apartment is compact but nicely furnished with essential amenities for travelers visiting Denali. We were able to make a full breakfast in the kitchen before heading out for a long day of hike and tour. The in-unit washer/dryer was greatly appreciated to get clothes cleaned after many sweaty and dusty activities including a fun ATV ride
My wife and I stayed at Taiga 2 during our two day visit to Denali National Park. We were very impressed by the excellent condition of the property. Everything was immaculate and looked brand new! This is a studio apartment so the space is relatively compact but that was hardly noticeable because the design was so well thought out. We had everything we needed, including laundry, and we were completely comfortable. What a gem. Proximity to Denali NP was excellent. Taiga 2 was the perfect stay for us on our 40th wedding anniversary trip through Alaska. We definitely recommend this property to any couple looking to stay in the area. Thank you so much for an outstanding experience.
Such an amazing location. The studio had everything we could possibly need and the absolute best shower after a day of hiking! We definitely recommend!
Perfect distance to Denali and one of the nicest places we stayed on our trip. Todd greeted us and offered suggestions for hiking and seeing the Mountain. We plan to come back to see Denali and would want to stay here again!
This was one of the nicest VRBO’s I’ve stayed at. The place was gleaming. Everything was in excellent repair and the quality of everything was excellent. It was perfect for one or two persons.
I highly recommend this lodging. It was clean, had everything we needed and a great location. Hosts were wonderful. They even called to us to see a moose in the yard. Made my day. Perfect place.
This studio was perfect for my husband and I. The location was close to Denali National Park where we had a great time exploring.
The studio was well equipped, and even included a washer and dryer which was necessary after our adventure.
We would definitely stay here again if back in the area.

About the host
Hosted by Todd and Julie Shorey
The Taiga House is owned by Todd and Julie Shorey. Todd travelled to Alaska in 1986 and discovered the wonders of Denali National Park and the warmth of the people of the Interior, and never left. He has worked as a tour guide in the summer sun, and a carpenter on many Denali projects through out the winter months. Julie is a life long Alaskan, who grew up just down the road in Cantwell. Our family enjoys salmon fishing, hiking in Denali, picking and eating the seasonal berries, and the winter sports of ice hockey and skiing. Life is good for us here in Healy, and we look forward to sharing our mountain view home with you, and our knowledge of the Alaskan Interior.
Why they chose this property
Our family purchased this house and six acres of property in 2011 as we moved north from McKinley Village, and instantly fell in love with the open landscape that flows from the south door to the Mountains of Denali Park. As a family we have worked together to create a home, as well as guest spaces for visitors to enjoy. We are sure you'll agree that our location is ideal for your once in a lifetime Alaskan experience.
What makes this property unique
Our rental has wonderful mountain views and instant wilderness access, while still being at the edge of town. It is a great home base for your adventures into Denali, a wonderful location to take a morning trail walk with a cup of coffee, and an inviting space to simply relax and enjoy the view. Be our guest and enjoy the rest!
