Calling all outdoorsy people - experience the Alaska dream in an quaint, one room DRY (no running water) cabin perched on a ridge at the edge of Denali National Park. Stunning mountain views from the large picture window. Located close to the National Park, outside the commercial district, in a quiet residential neighborhood.
There is a kitchen counter, a mini fridge, and a 2-burner propane cook top for preparing meals. Dishes, silverware, pans, and a coffee/tea bar provided. Paper towels, dish soap, towel and sponge are also provided.
To ensure you’ll get a good nights sleep before heading out on your Denali adventures, you will have your choice between sleeping on the comfortable full sized futon on the main floor, or climbing the ladder to the loft where you’ll find a full sized mattress upstairs (and blackout curtains). Bed linens are provided.
Maximum occupancy is 2 people. Enjoy the books and board games - there is no TV, but we have high speed Starlink internet!
The home is located a mile off the Parks Highway, just a 10 mile drive to the Denali Park Visitor Center and the train depot, and the main hotel/restaurant and shopping zone. A few restaurants are located within two miles, as is the trailheads for the popular Triple Lakes and Nenana River hikes (no fishing license required inside the park).
Guest Access If you plan to arrive by train to Denali, you will need a rental car to get around the local area and to our house. "Keys to Denali" and "Alaska Auto Rental" located locally in Healy offers rental vehicles and railroad depot pick-up and drop-offs. Be sure to book in advance. The 1.5 mile road from the highway to our house is a maintained gravel road. It should not pose any problem for any vehicle.

We loved the cabin, it was so relaxing and lovely. We appreciated all the easy instructions for how to operate facilities, nearby attractions, etc. Would certainly stay again.
This cabin worked out very well for my wife and me for two nights while we visited Denali NP and the surrounding area. We wanted to be close to nature and away from the tourist scene and this fit that perfectly!
This is far an away the best dry cabin experience in Alaska. Hot shower, beautiful outhouse and the most incredible views right in your room...I want to move here.

I was lucky to get this booking. Simple and small. The outdoor shower and outhouse was no problem at all - very clean and well thought out. I recommend this place for your Denali stay.
