Gorgeous Lakeside Chalet

The host provided so much helpful information for our stay and the property description is accurate. This fit our group of 4 perfectly. The beds were very comfortable and the living room had plenty of seating. Eye masks were provided which was nice, but our group did find it hard to sleep with so much daylight coming in as blinds were not an option to close on all the windows. However, it may not be a problem for your group. Overall it was a nice stay and I would recommend.

Overall the house was clean and well presented. The check-in and check-out instructions were clear. The beds were clean and ready to use with lots of towels available. The bathroom, shower, sink, and toilet were clean. The hottub was clean and ready to use. The house had many great views with lots of windows (which was an issue for us since there's almost 24hrs of sunlight during the summer months and only about half the windows had a shades so the house stays well lit making it difficult to sleep). Also the paddle boat was filled with water and too heavy for us to safley flip over to empty out so we werent able to use it. Also worth noting is the shower space is small making it difficult to bath without bumping into things.

Superior, exceptionally well-appointed home. Remote enough to experience Alaska while remaining convenient to Denali. Lux-rustic feel. Very comfortable home - would have to say that this may be the best VRBO we have ever rented, and that's saying something.

As advertised. Great Spa and fantastic location.

The house was beautiful. The views matched. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful location, beautiful home. The hot tub was a huge hit. The house was very clean. Would stay here again!

Amazing property! Perfect spot to enjoy all the Denali and surrounding areas have to offer. Would highly recommend this property to anyone going to Denali!!

We had a wonderful time staying at the lakeside chalet. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, as well as plenty of detailed directions provided, in addition to communication as we arrived. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. They provided bath towels and also separate hot tub towels. They provided sleep masks if needed and had black out blinds on most of the windows. The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware. We enjoyed the hot tub-it was clean and easily accessible on the deck. The house is on a small lake, which we walked down to but we didn't use the paddleboat because the weather was chilly. We walked around the neighborhood in the morning and enjoyed the beautiful mountain views. It was about 30 minute drive to the Denali Visitor Center and a small town of Healy about 15 minutes north beyond that, since Cantwell itself is not a town. We would definitely recommend spending time at this Alaskan Lakeside Chalet.

Our trip couldn’t have been better! The views of the lake and Denali were absolutely breathtaking, and the home was so comfortable and peaceful. Being just a short ride from the park entrance made it really convenient for all our adventures.

Home was beautiful, lovely spot, hosts were very attentive

Stunningly beautiful house and property! Well decorated and furnished with all the comforts of home, including a fully stocked kitchen with a wide selection of condiments. Perfect home base for a visit to Denali, and we spent one day just enjoying all the house had to offer. The owners sent a very thorough guide of the house and the area, which helped us make the most of our time in the area. They also thoughtfully provide several eye masks, which makes it easier to sleep during those long Alaska summer days. Finally, there’s plenty of bear spray and insect spray left by previous travelers at the house, so if you haven’t yet bought some, check the house first. My only regret is that we didn’t stay another day or two. Thanks Kelly and Cheryl!

Property was exactly as listed.. a bit quirky, with a split full bathroom (2 sinks outside: one in master) as well as the 1/2 bath..but that worked well for our family of 4. Loved the snacks and view! A great place to start our Alaska vacation.

House was in a great location and well stocked with everything we needed.

Amazing property in the most incredible location. Great accommodations and promot responses by the host. 10/10 recommend.

As the name suggests, this property is located at a gorgeous location! It is near a beautiful lake and is surrounded by mountains whose views are breathtaking! If you visit in the summer, then don't forget to see the sun set among the Alaskan range on the west side of the house... and, of course, enjoy the midnight dusk. The hot tub was a hit with our kids. The location of the house is also convenient if you are visiting Denali National Park but want to stay away from the busy areas near the Park. Overall, a great place to stay!

Beautiful home in a beautiful town!

The home is located in a beautiful, but remote location about 25 minutes from Denali National Park. The hot tub was wonderful after our hiking trips. We saw a female moose and her baby in the back yard which was really cool, so we made sure that we didn’t invade her space too much and stayed out of the back yard. The only draw back was that there aren’t any grocery stores close, so make a list before going shopping. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

This is a fabulous home with all the amenities in a location that is in an ideal location to Denali NP and in a picturesque setting off the beaten path overlooking a lake. We give this a 2 thumbs up and will highly recommend this to anyone that asks! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We loved this house! Fantastic location to access Denali NP, and the house is very comfortable and clean! Would absolutely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay on Drashner Lake. The home was beautiful and well-kept. The views were stunning and the house was very comfortable. Highly recommend this house for anyone visiting Denali National Park or just wanting a getaway.

Wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful property in a beautiful location

First, I want to mention how clean the house was upon arrival. Everything to dishes, towels, utensils and supplies were well thought out and organized not too much and not too little. We stayed the first two weeks in June so the weather was still a little cold even snowed one night, fishing wasn't the best but we expected that even the fly-fishing guide said he was struggling. The property is beautiful we took a little hike in the back and ran into a red fox, The location is remote but our focus was Mt. Mckinley and we explored a lot of the park which was really nice. We also did the ATV tour in Healy and wen to the brewery great place. My son wanted to hit some fishing holes in Willow which is a few hours away on the way back we stopped in Talkeetna (highly recommend). We also went into Denali city ate at some of the lodges which were amazing. Hot tub was a nice bonus especially with all the rain and cool weather. We were able to see caribou, Dall sheep 27 moose and calfs, no bears. If you like wilderness and exploring this is a great place. If I had to do it again I would take one of the tour buses or trains and stay 2 or 3 nights and head down to coopers landing or Homer a little more to do and warmer weather. The host was fantastic, and I cannot say enough about this cozy home. Thank you for sharing your property.

We had a wonderful time in Alaska at this Chalet. The location is perfect for visiting Denali. The chalet is beautiful insise and out. The views of the lake and mountains are spectacular. We were able to see Denali from the balcony on the second floor. Having a full kitchen with all the amenities made life easy because we were on the go every day. Cheryl and Kelly were wonderful, they addresed all of questions and concerns. If you want a fantastic place to stay pick this chalet.

Beautiful placeNo problemsGreat stay

The location is absolutely stunning. The mountain views from every window did not disappoint. The home is very well kept and had everything for our stay. It wasn't just a shell of a house. The feeling there was warm and inviting. It felt like home. My kids enjoyed the paddle boat and hanging out on the deck. I wish we could have enjoyed the hot tub, but we didn't have enough time. We'd love to come back for a future visit.

You will feel like you are borrowing a friend’s home that is just a short drive to Denali National Park.We had everything we needed from a well appointed kitchen to a super cozy living room and more. While the description and pictures of this home are very accurate, you just have to see these views for yourself. If you are looking for a homebase while you enjoy the park, this is it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and close to Denali National Park and Talkeerna. The owner was very responsive to my inquiries. I would recommend this property if you are looking to travel to that area.

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!
