Beautiful, Clean, and Cozy!
Our whole group was very impressed with this rental. Kelly made check in very easy and was very quick and helpful to answer any questions we had. The house was spotless upon arrival and immediately felt like home. The location was great and very peaceful. About 30 minutes from Denali National Park and right off of the scenic Denali highway. I’d stay here again in an instant!

Beautiful, peaceful home near Denali
My parents, husband, and I had a wonderful stay! This property is perfect for those wanting to explore Denali National Park and stay in a peaceful location away from the cruise ship hotels. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need and we loved the hot tub. We also appreciated being able to use the washer/dryer. Would definitely return!

Home base for Denali
This home was perfect for our time spent at Denali National Park... the kitchen had everything we needed and the home was clean, cozy and had plenty of room for our group of 4 to spread out. Waking up to the views everyday really spoiled us. The weather wasn't ideal our first 2 days to get a good view of Denali but on day 3 when we were leaving, we were able to see it from the top deck, and then again on our drive back south. Definitely recommend this home for your stay!

Denali getaway
This property had all the amenities you would want to experience a relaxing vacation in Alaska. The proximity to Denali National park was very convenient and allowed for easy day trips. Then returned to relax in the hot tub with mountain views, campfire under the midnight sun, paddle boat on the tranquil Lake.Highly recommend!!

Quiet and Secluded with Great Views
On the water with mountain views all around. The house was well stocked and clean and we would definitely stay here again. One thing to be prepared for is that the house is not set up to keep out the midnight sun. However, the host did provide sleeping masks which helped.

Utopia at Denali
There really are no worthy words for this place. If you plan to visit Denali you can rent this home with absolute confidence. It was positively immaculate and lacked nothing. My wife and I have VRBO’d all over North America and have never had a more satisfying experience. We both work like dogs in the lower 48 and needed a place to decompress and see this part of Alaska. We found it with this rental. The only real mistake we made was not making the stay a couple of days longer. Thank you for your hospitality and the opportunity! When they open the entire road in the park in 2025 we will be back!

Denali
I can’t say enough good things about our stay here. My wife and I stayed here with another couple for six days. We loved it from the time we arrived. We spent most of our time in Denali National Park which is only about 30 minutes from here. Our host, Kelly was very helpful and easy to work with from check in to check out. The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable with amazing views. We especially enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and viewing the mountains. This was our first trip to Alaska traveling from Wisconsin, and we would definitely come back here if we’re fortunate enough to visit Alaska again. I would recommend staying here to anyone visiting this area.
