We had a great stay! The cabin was cozy and comfortable and very conveniently located close to Denali national park entrance and food and shops in the area. It was unique to be next to an airport and fun to see the planes once and a while. The information provided by the host on the property and surrounding area was helpful.

The property was beautiful and close to the park. It was in a great location. We had the best prime rib dinner at a restaurant right down the street at the creekside cafe. The house was exactly as pictured.

Wonderfully appointed, clean cabin in a charming setting close to the park. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit watching the airstrip as well as the surrounding scenery. Oh so close to Denali. Will absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this property. (Airplane noise was not a distraction for us)

Perfectly located Denali log cabin

The house could not have been in a better location, only a few miles down the road from the national park. The cabin was clean and very well stocked. Communication with the owners was easy and responsive. When we are back, we’d definitely stay again!

Beautiful cabin close to airstrip and Denali Park

Our whole family enjoyed staying at this picturesque cabin. We all enjoyed watching the planes take-off a land. The cabin was very comfortable, cozy and close to Denali National Park. Owners were very communicative and checked in during our stay to make sure there was nothing we needed.

Why they chose this property

We have another VRBO just 2 miles off of the Denali highway, at Cantwell, and decided to buy another property to share. The Property at Cantwell is called "Gorgeous Lakeside Chalet" and if the log home isn't available, you may check this property out as well.
We wanted to open our 2 homes for other travelers to enjoy our Alaskan nature and relax at the same time.

What makes this property unique

We feel that MP 229.5 is the most centrally located property in relation to Glitter Gulch, Denali National Park and activities taking place between the Park and the Denali Highway to the South
