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!

Fantastic & Beautiful Chalet

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, 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!

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!!

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.
