Great views from A Second Home in Denali, vacation rental, close to the Park!

A Second Home has four bedrooms and two and a half bedrooms, LARGE dining room with a table for all, kitchen and living room, and laundry room. Each bedroom has its own TV and there is a LARGE screen TV in the living room. Guests often mention the home has beautiful views and is spacious for families and friends to gather comfortably. It is currently listed as a favorite for 2026 with VRBO readers.

You will see more trees and mountains than people when you are here. THIS PROPERTY HAS TO BE OWNER-OCCUPIED, AS PER HOA RULES.. Owners' space is a completely separate area with a different area.

Second Home has a LARGE, private deck in the backyard that looks out on mountain views. It's the only Denali vacation rental with a completely paved driveway and parking area and two acres of quiet lawns and woodlands. It has a turn-around driveway with plenty of space for parking.

Owners are year-round Alaskans who have been hosting guests for 37 years in the Denali Area. They book rental cars and give accurate tour desk information. They offer free transfers to and from the Denali Depot if you book a rental car AND reserve train tickets through them.. If you are confused about tours and transit buses and attraction in the Park, ask your hosts. They have accurate and timely information based on personal experience.

They have up-to-date information about Denali National Park, the area and the state. Their tips will save you money and time. Example: be sure to take the East Fork Transit Bus for $33.50 (2025 prices) instead of the Tundra Wilderness Tour for $144.50. The transit bus is narrated too. Please ask if you have Denali questions. Service is an important part of their offerings.

The host was the best. She offered to help with reservations and saved us a significant amount of money on our Denali bus adventure, on which, by the way, we saw most of Denali. The house was very attractive, with lots of acreage, and it was very well-appointed. We were very pleased with the entire experience. Highly recommended!

Beware: Second Home in Denali is not like home unless you live in a construction site.

In 20 years of VRBOs, I've never needed to file a public complaint until staying at Second Home in Denali, in Healy, Alaska. Our party of 6 rented two homes in Alaska. We chose "Second Home in Denali" because we thought it was a quiet, luxury home in a beautiful location. We did not get that. Days before arrival (after cancellation dates) I got an email that "construction is STILL going on at the apartment to the side of your rental." I wasn't sure what that meant, but since we paid 10 months prior, what to do? RENTERS BEWARE: This meant full house renovation 9 a.m. to 5/6 p.m. Weekends included. The owners are building a separate apartment inside the VRBO just beyond a locked hollow core door. We listened to air compressors, nail guns, tile saws, contractor music and conversations all week. Dust seeped under doors. When I asked Ann to come see, she asked what compensation would be fair. When we told her half of what we paid, she started avoiding us. She denied each request to pause construction. Ann reimbursed us half her profit in the end, but it's not half what we paid. She said VRBO takes too much. We are not satisfied. When she said my mother, age 79, should've napped at her house and closed the second story bathroom curtains if she didn't want construction workers looking in (they worked on all house windows), I decided to warn others. Ann and Terry were the only negative in an otherwise perfect trip of a lifetime.

Amazing Host

The house was perfect for us. It had tons of space and everything we needed. The location was ideal. What truly stood out was our host. We left a ukulele at the property by accident, and she went to tremendous lengths to return it to us. There were many messages back and forth, coordination with a bus driver, and a long trip to deliver it to the bus. Ann has a huge heart and we are very grateful to her.
