Love, love, LOVE
We stayed here for 5 nights, and it was the icing on the cake! On top of the beautiful view and the quiet area of where our cabin was located, the hosts thought of everything! We came in to a spotless cottage with everything we needed for our stay. Everything from the basic necessities, to a full array of cleaning/ laundry supplies, some basic food necessities for our stay, they even had bear and bug spray for our hikes around Denali National Park! The kitchen had everything you would need to cook some great meals! Honestly would not hesitate to stay again! The cabin was definitely one of the highlights to our honeymoon in the beautiful state of Alaska!

Beautiful Spot Near Denali
We had a wonderful stay at Cottage at Dry Creek! Our host, David, responded right away to lend a hand when needed. The cabin is just as pictured, and the views right off the back porch were amazing! Everything we needed was provided, from a fully stocked kitchen to plenty of towels to hiking supplies. (Caveat: in the winter months almost everything in Healy is closed.) We enjoyed the short drive to Denali and explored the part of the park that was open in the winter. I'm old so we did the short and easy hikes lol. We can't say enough about the beauty of the location or the responsiveness of our hosts when we reached out. Would love to stay here again!

Great Cottage near Denali!
This is one of the best places we’ve stayed! The cottage was very clean. There were lots of amenities that we didn’t have to bring with us: bathroom tissue, shower essentials and other extras. David and Shannon left us cream and butter in the fridge and the kitchen was stocked with lots of spices and other essentials. It really did feel like home away from home! We’ll be back for sure! Thank you!

Talkeetna Charming
My husband and I truly enjoy our stay in the charming tiny cabin that fits perfectly with the charm of Talkeetna. It was clean, cozy and stocked with everything that you could need and more. Communication with host was easy and we appreciate their genuine willingness to do whatever needed to make our stay pleasant. Make sure to take the hike down to fish lake and plan time for an adult beverage at the nearby Denali Brewing.
