Perfect hideaway for Denali. Read the check in instructions ahead of time as well connection can be spotty in that area. Host was responsive and cabin was as expected.

Perfect spot. Secluded away from tourists, but not so far that it felt isolated. Beds were comfortable, and check in was super easy! We were able to make it up to the cabin in an AWD ford escape. I had cell reception the whole time (Verizon). Bring an eye mask to sleep, as there are no curtains :). Loved it!!

Beautiful drive between here and Denali National Park. Lovely views. Mosquitoes not as bad as I had anticipated. Used hiking poles to get up and down steep driveway as my car isn’t 4WD. Got my exercise! Affordable option in this otherwise pricey area—some hotels very close to Denali have Alaska cruise ship passengers, not my crowd, but amazing national park guides and bus drivers. Saw moose, grizzlies, Dall sheep & caribou in Denali. Recommend the fireweed ice cream!

The cabin is located on absolutely beautiful property. Tricky to get up after some heavy rains (Dave helped us with his 4x4!) and the views and hiking can’t be beat! A great place to stay when visiting the Denali area.

My wife and I came here for our Honeymoon. The listing was exactly as described- a secluded cabin with the essentials for survival. It was always warm, and the cell service, while middling, was perfectly adequate. It was clean, with no critters, and the twin beds were comfortable. I’m 6’3 and my wife 5’10, so our feet did stick off the edges a little and bump the roof in places, but with some maneuvering you can make it work. The only cooking implement was a microwave, so we purchased a hot plate in Anchorage along with a mixing bowl and cooking pot, and left them there at the cabin (they may remain for future guests, I would ask).The road was difficult to find, but the host gave a very good description on how to find it. AWD or 4WD vehicle required for a steep (45 degree plus) road. We went in Late September, so the only snow we experienced was on our checkout day. That drive/slide down the mountain was not one I’m eager to repeat, so make sure you check the weather and plan your parking accordingly. As described, there is no plumbing, but the outhouse was clean and had plenty of toilet paper and hand sanitizer.Its location is gorgeous, beautiful views on a clear day. 20-30 minutes north of Denali National Park. Showers and laundry are available in Healy, 5-10 minutes South. We had a wonderful time.P.S. The twin beds in the loft are in an L shape and cannot be moved together.

Secluded cabin

It is a great place to experience the Alaska wilderness with great mountain views. Dave greeted us when we arrived, and we were on our own after that. You definitely need an all-wheel drive vehicle to get up to the cabin. The cabin is equipped with the basic necessities for your stay.

A Great Rustic Experience

David handled all our needs, including arranging to deliver our forgotten trekking poles to us. The cabin was warm, clean, and all was as advertised. The view was fantastic from our cabin, and the walk to the lake was beautiful. It was just what we wanted during our Denali visit.

Even if you have AWD or 4wd still have Dave take you up to the cabin, it's a narly road. I've lived in the interior of Alaska for 25 years and driven my share of steep dirt roads. The road up to the cabin was among the worst.

This was such a cute cabin. Very secluded up on the top of a ridge (Daltons Ridge). There is a turn off for a different set of cabins, keep going up! The driveway is intimidating and steep… however we have a AWD Honda CRV, and as long as you keep going quickly up and dont stop, it was fine. It even made it up the driveway in the pouring rain. Once you get up there, its worth it. The cabin is cozy. Bring your own food if you want to… there is a microwave, no stove or grill. There is a fridge. There is spotty wifi… but honestly i got the best service in the outhouse lol! The walk to the lake is more like 30 mins, but totally worth it. In the morning right around dawn i got up to use the outhouse, and there was a cow and calf moose walking around grazing in the woods, and by early morning they had actually both bedded down in the clearing next to our cabin! The views of the mountains were really good. The loft is a little cramped with the 2 beds… but it wasnt horrible. I almost think one of the beds could probably go downstairs and there would be better room… but as long as you make sure not to bump your head on the ceiling at night, you’ll be fine. The loft stays nice and warm, we didnt turn the heat up past 66, and even at that i woke up sweating. Dave said that if we wernt able to make it up the hill with the car he would come down and get us with his side by side, so just chat with him about that before hand if you only have a 2wd, he seems super accommodating.

A beautiful cabin in the woods. A true Alaskan experience. Getting up to the cabin even in a four-wheel-drive vehicle was a bit of a challenge, but Dave was great about coming down in the buggy and picking us up. Nice little hike to a small lake. Quiet and peaceful. Would recommend for a quiet getaway..

think about this only if you want to experience the wild side of alaska, property is a cabin with no running water and no bathroom, no toilet, it is just a wood space outside the cabin that serves as a rustic toilet. for one or two nights is ok, longer than that think about it. besides that at the last minute the owner informs us that a 4x4 vehicle is needed to reach the property location cause to get to it you have to drive through a dirt road with a very steep ridge, BE AWARE !

Perfect spot to see the Aurora Borealis

Beautiful spot. Rustic of course. The road in is quite difficult. You need both the 4wd (which I had) and some offroading skills (which maybe I had less of). But Dave got us through it; picked us up inhis ATV and got our car out. If you do decide to try it yourself you need to commit to it. I got stuck because I was timid. Ideally get there before dark.

The house was comfy. It’s very basic. The drive up was fun with 4 wheel drive an absolute necessity. Dave was very accommodating as I came in by mistake a day early. Denali is very close by. I saw the mountain:) Thanks again
