We had a wonderful stay at the Cottage at Dry Creek. The cottage was spotless and beautifully decorated inside. We loved just hanging out after at day of hiking at Denali.
We enjoyed staying at the cabin very much. The location was good, and we had everything we needed. The cabin itself was great - we couldn't have asked for anything better.
Cottage was extremely comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed and more. Easy access to the town and grocery store but a little off the beaten path and quiet. Would definitely recommend!
We loved our stay at the cottage! Everything was in pristine condition with abundant kitchen supplies. Beautiful views out the back deck. We wish we could have stayed longer!
Wow! I’ve stayed in many short term rentals and this was the best! I’m a Superhost myself and only wish my listing was this dialed in. Great communication, spotless and comfortable house, everything you need (even labeled), beautiful view. If you’re going to Denali and this place is available, grab it.
From the moment I arrived, this beautiful cottage in Healy felt like a hidden gem. Nestled within just a short drive from the entrance to Denali National Park, the location couldn’t have been more ideal. Waking up each morning and heading straight out for glacier views and wildlife felt both effortless and exhilarating.Inside, the house had everything I needed—and then some. Thoughtful amenities made it feel like a true home away from home with stocked essentials and cozy comforts.
Great house on a beautiful piece of property! Fantastic views! Saw a couple moose off the back porch! Lots of amenities and great hosts. Will definitely stay again next time we are in Healy!
House is extremely clean and comfortable. The hosts have stocked the house with everything needed to have a relaxing stay. The views are beautiful and the setting is very serene. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return if we are in the area again.
Excellent location to explore Denali. Generous hosts. The only issue was the heater was a bit of a challenge in the main room. Saw northern lights off of the porch and bedroom window.
This place was like new and super clean! The setting was spectacular with a great location close to everything and a beautiful view from the kitchen/ living room and back porch. We loved staying there and will definitely recommend it to friends who visit the area. Shannon and David were great communicators and made sure everything was perfect for us.
The place is amazing. David thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay near Denali! The place was very clean and well organized. We highly recommend!
We loved the location and beauty all around! This was very comfortable for the 6 of us. It was well-stocked, even with bear spray and airhorn. It was very updated and the layout was good too. Would definitely recommend!
This is a great property that is isolated and quiet with great views of the Denali area. The cabin is well appointed with modern appliances and finishing touches . Everything worked perfectly, even the barbecue grill! A Fantastic getaway for a family visiting Denali!
