Denali Park Homestead house, Just one mile North from the Park Entrance

"This quirky property located right outside the Denali Park entrance sits on a hill offering a quiet and peaceful space. It is a minute away from the strip with all the restaurants and shopping We enjoyed the space it offered, its unique antiques, washing machine and Keurig coffee maker. It also had two bathrooms which was a luxury. Communication during the booking process, and with questions I had prior to arrival were always answered promptly.Check in was a little confusing as I didn’t remember reading anything in the listing about checking in at the RV park, leading us to make several loops driving around trying to locate the property. Finally, we just happened to go onto the RV trailer to ask if they knew where there home was and they actually manage it and you check in there. The one other thing that threw me off was that the 3 rd bedroom was located in a loft accessed by some really steep stairs with no handrail. The closest bathroom would mean descending that ladder in the middle of the night. Unfortunately , while checking out that space, as she descended, my young adult daughter actually fell ( in the middle of the day) so we decided not to use the loft for sleeping purposes.I did go back to VRBO just to ensure I didn’t miss the check in process or the loft disclosures and couldn’t find any information on either, There is always a possibility that information could have been tucked in there and I overlooked itOverall, we would stay there again !"
