We have another VRBO just 2 miles off of the Denali highway, at Cantwell, and decided to buy another property to share. The Property at Cantwell is called "Gorgeous Lakeside Chalet" and if the log home isn't available, you may check this property out as well.
We wanted to open our 2 homes for other travelers to enjoy our Alaskan nature and relax at the same time.

What makes this property unique

We feel that MP 229.5 is the most centrally located property in relation to Glitter Gulch, Denali National Park and activities taking place between the Park and the Denali Highway to the South
