The property is about 13 miles or 20 minutes north of Denali National Parks entrance area, Visitor's Center and Wilderness Access Center. During the summer months there are a number of restaurants and food trucks near by. A full grocery with convenience store, sporting goods and hardware is located about 1 mile away. There are three service stations within 2 miles as well. While 2 night stays are generally required ‘single nights’ that appear between longer reservations will be booked, just ask.
The location was great for our Denali activities. There was lots of room for the 6 of us. The house was very clean, but needs some updates.
Jim's communication before and during the trip were excellent. The place was old and in disrepair. The flooring was not put in correctly and we stubbed our toes on the vinyl flooring a few times. The carpets were old and not clean. The closet on the main floor had doors that were unhinged and it was unfished to the floorboard. I have a hand-full of other things in mind (like the floor on the front deck with a large hole that was covered by a board, a screen door that doesn't fit the door, a TV that didn't work) but you get my point. Overall, it was clean enough (operative word would be tolerable) but reminded me of staying in a college frat house. Had I known in advance, I would have chosen to stay elsewhere. In my opinion, it was not close to being worth the money we paid to stay there. To end on a positive, it was nice to have a working washing machine and dryer. Again, the owner Jim, was very nice and responded to all communication so I feel somewhat mixed for writing this review but it is an honest one.
It appears there has been a change of ownership since most of the reviews were given. The two issues we had with the puppy was that they were not blackout shades on all of the bedrooms, and there was no Wi-Fi, so there was no television or music available for our entire state. The outside was also not very appealing, and there was no view from any room of the beautiful surrounding mountains. It was relatively close to the bus depot where we took our tour.
Two couples 3 nights Rustic log chalet clean lots of room , many extras very quiet close to restaurants , gas , a general store and just 15 minutes to Denali NP visitor centre . Good spot for us — Great spot for family stay
Everything was great, from the distance to Denali, to the stay on the property
We enjoyed the proximity to Denali National Park and the charming town of Healy. We appreciated the courtesy samples of soap, Shampoo, etc as well as there being coffee and a well-stocked kitchen.
Jim was a good host and we enjoyed our time in Denali Borough. Grocery and restaurants close. Got to see the mountain!! House needs a little updating but it was clean and worked well for our group of six.
great log cabin with plenty of room, quiet but close to the park
Everything about this property was amazing! The views were great, we even saw a moose and two calves run by the cabin the the morning! My family loved staying here and we would come back again :)
We had a party of 8 adults. The property was one of 2 available for our dates. It had plenty of room and a well supplied kitchen. The rooms were well appointed with black out curtains. The only odd thing was the email I received day before arrival stating there would be fruit coffee milk and cereal at the house. Luckily we had supplies, but we found none of the listed items. Had we relied on that note we would have been very hungry.
