Authentic Alaskan cabin experience near the heart of Denali

Our secluded “authentic Alaskan cabin” is nestled in a rustic setting with spectacular mountain views. This private wooded property, boasting an "off the grid" driveway and plenty of wildlife, is walking distance to Otto Lake. Enjoy great fishing, swimming, and other water activities or stop at Black Diamond Resort for tundra golf, horse pulled wagon rides, ATV excursions, or fine dining.

Our quaint town of Healy is the home to several unique dining experiences, an amazing coffee spot, local brewery, and so much more. Down the heart of the community is the Parks Highway, which takes you to an outdoor adventure at Denali National Park less than 15 minutes away.

The authentic Alaskan cabin has an open great room, with sleeper couches, and a built-in dining area. There is a queen blow-up mattress available that is able to sleep two guests in this area. The sitting room, with a day bed and an additional twin mattress, opens to a private patio. Up a steep stairs, which adds to the experience, leads to the loft. The loft has a comfortable full bed, exhilarating views, and additional amenities. The kitchen is full service, with fridge, sink, microwave and stove. Off the main entrance deck, the mountain views are beyond description. The bathroom offers a sink, shower, and a waterless Separett toilet. However, for those truly desiring the full Alaskan experience, there is an “elite” outhouse out back as well. If your previous adventures have left you exhausted, not to worry…we will provide wireless Internet and Netflix.

Charming cabin and comfortable stay for our family of 5. Well stocked place (including some fun games!), beautiful property, and easy access to Denali and area restaurants. The outhouse added to the Alaskan charm (there is an indoor bathroom, too)!

This felt like a true Alaskan experience! The host was very responsive with any questions we had. Everything was clean with great amenities for such a rustic cabin. We had a toddler with us so the travel crib and a few toys were a great addition. Will happily stay here in the future if we are in the area!

Cabin was clean and as advertised, nearer to Denali NP. Host Karla was great with prompt response and helpful. We all had a wonderful time and our main activity was spending time in Denali NP. This cabin on top of giving Alaskan cabin experience, also gives real camping feel and experience. This cabin will satisfy who wants to do camping but don’t have the needed equipment or experience. Highly recommend this place.

A great, semi-historic cabin with a lot of very interesting history.There were four of us seniors (two related couples; 74-80 yrs old), and we thoroughly enjoyed the cabin, including the idiosyncrasies that come with an authentic Alaskan cabin.The owner was an excellent hostess and communicator.The cabin is well-located close to Mt McKinley (Denali) National Park and the associated retail tourist strip center; and we recommend the Totem Inn restaurant in Healy.All on all, we highly recommend this VRBO listing!

We really enjoyed the "authentic Alaskan cabin experience." The location to Denali National Park and Healy was perfect. The views from the back deck were incredible. That is where we spent most of our time, even with a little rain (partially covered). The cabin was appointed.

This place is great! Initially the outhouse was daunting, but the cabin had running water and a very functional toilet alternative. It is so close to an amazing number of tours and activities in Healy and Denali was a quick drive down the highway with fantastic views all around. We stayed warm at night with the stove and played some intense games of Scrabble during the rain. The loft offered a great secluded spot for the kids to have their own space as well. Highly recommend!

Cozy cottage

We love this unique Alaskan cabin in the woods! With unique outbuildings this property was delightful just minutes away from local amenities as well as Denali and its many adventures!! Our family loved the outdoor space and were even surprised by a momma moose and her two calves!!! It was fantastic!!

Convenient & Peaceful

Such a cute, quirky little cabin! It was a perfect location for our visit to Otto Lake and Denali National Park. The grandkids enjoyed the loft sleeping area and exploring around the cabin grounds. The adults enjoyed the peaceful mornings and evenings on the porch. Beautiful view. Caught a moose sighting down the road.

Authentic Experience

We had a small reservation about the limited plumbing, but quickly embraced the uniqueness of the house and loved our stay. Our first night we had a visit from mommy moose with her two calves. It was so special! Then the next night there was an owl on the deck. We loved sitting outside and enjoying the view.This was an incredible place to stay while visiting Denali National Park! Thank you for a great place to stay, highly recommend!

Peaceful Home Away from the Bustle of Denali

We didn't realize that we had stumbled onto a gem when we booked this cabin! We were so happy to feel like we had the place all to ourselves, surrounded by nature and scenery. The hosts were great at communicating from start to finish. We found the home perfect for all of our needs and was large enough to fit our large group. We especially appreciated the pack and play provided by the host. The best part of the cabin was the large deck where we spent hours enjoying the long days of summer in Alaska.

In our opinion, this cabin is for younger people and families with children only. There is only 1 bigger bed in the loft, which is hard to get to. The steps are very narrow and steep. Also, this is the only comfortable bed. Down below are 2 Futons and one very soft and uncomfortable day bed. The outhouse has no door !!! Also, warm water for the shower is very limited and doesn't even lasts for 2 minutes. If you like to be accused of stealing towels, then this is the place for you.
