Authentic Alaskan cabin experience near the heart of Denali

Our secluded “authentic Alaskan cabin” is nestled in a rustic setting with spectacular mountain views. This private wooded property, boasting an "off the grid" driveway and plenty of wildlife, is walking distance to Otto Lake. Enjoy great fishing, swimming, and other water activities or stop at Black Diamond Resort for tundra golf, horse pulled wagon rides, ATV excursions, or fine dining.

Our quaint town of Healy is the home to several unique dining experiences, an amazing coffee spot, local brewery, and so much more. Down the heart of the community is the Parks Highway, which takes you to an outdoor adventure at Denali National Park less than 15 minutes away.

The authentic Alaskan cabin has an open great room, with sleeper couches, and a built-in dining area. There is a queen blow-up mattress available that is able to sleep two guests in this area. The sitting room, with a day bed and an additional twin mattress, opens to a private patio. Up a steep stairs, which adds to the experience, leads to the loft. The loft has a comfortable full bed, exhilarating views, and additional amenities. The kitchen is full service, with fridge, sink, microwave and stove. Off the main entrance deck, the mountain views are beyond description. The bathroom offers a sink, shower, and a waterless Separett toilet. However, for those truly desiring the full Alaskan experience, there is an “elite” outhouse out back as well. If your previous adventures have left you exhausted, not to worry…we will provide wireless Internet and Netflix.

Delightful time! The cabin ambiance is warm (welcoming), relaxing, unique and clean. I had some concerns about the cabin being too rustic but it was ideal for our vacation with our kids and their cousins. Karla (host) was super responsive. We had one hitch which we tried to self solve and her response was “oh, I wish you would have called me sooner so I could have helped you quicker!” I received responses within minutes of messaging and Karla was proactive in messaging prior to our trip. The kids loved the loft, the games, the books, testing the outdoor bathroom. They watched a movie after a day of hiking the park while we enjoyed tea on the back porch-perfectly peacefully. We brought food with us to avoid 6 kids at a restaurant and we had all of the cooking utensils we needed-tray for roasting vegetables, toaster, square casserole dish for cinnamon rolls, in addition to pots and pans. The sheets and bedding were very clean as were the floors and carpet. We had a truly delightful time as a family and as listed-an authentic Alaska cabin experience! Perfect for an Alaska vacation AND we loved visiting Denali National Park-all of the views and hikes! Thank you Karla and Wade. If we have the privilege to come again-we will rebook with you!

Truly authentic

We LOVED our stay… the cabin for sure had that “Alaska feel” which is what we wanted. Secluded and peaceful. Amazing views. Communication with the host was wonderful.The only couple of issues we had were:Up in the loft is where the largest bed is, my husband is 6’2” and the bed placement was difficult for him as his feet hit the wall.Other issue was that the house wasn’t dark enough at night for us. All windows did have blinds but blackout curtains would have been a game changer. We were able to use sheets to drape over some of the windows which did help a lot.

We really enjoyed the "authentic Alaskan cabin experience." The location to Denali National Park and Healy was perfect. The views from the back deck were incredible. That is where we spent most of our time, even with a little rain (partially covered). The cabin was appointed.

Convenient & Peaceful

Such a cute, quirky little cabin! It was a perfect location for our visit to Otto Lake and Denali National Park. The grandkids enjoyed the loft sleeping area and exploring around the cabin grounds. The adults enjoyed the peaceful mornings and evenings on the porch. Beautiful view. Caught a moose sighting down the road.

Peaceful Home Away from the Bustle of Denali

We didn't realize that we had stumbled onto a gem when we booked this cabin! We were so happy to feel like we had the place all to ourselves, surrounded by nature and scenery. The hosts were great at communicating from start to finish. We found the home perfect for all of our needs and was large enough to fit our large group. We especially appreciated the pack and play provided by the host. The best part of the cabin was the large deck where we spent hours enjoying the long days of summer in Alaska.

Authentic Experience

We had a small reservation about the limited plumbing, but quickly embraced the uniqueness of the house and loved our stay. Our first night we had a visit from mommy moose with her two calves. It was so special! Then the next night there was an owl on the deck. We loved sitting outside and enjoying the view.This was an incredible place to stay while visiting Denali National Park! Thank you for a great place to stay, highly recommend!

Tranquil getaway - perfect cabin in the woods.

Our stay was fantastic! The cabin was spotless, which immediately made us feel at home. The outdoor space with amazing view was a highlight for us all. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, making it a joy to cook our meals. We had everything we needed and more. The sleeping spaces ensured that everyone had their own comfortable spot. The furniture was cozy and inviting. The books and games provided were a nice touch and added to the fun of our stay. We enjoyed walking the driveway, it was a perfect way to take in the stunning surroundings. Overall, Karla's cabin exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Clean and comfortable

The cabin was very clean and well maintained with lots of room for our family of 6. The cabin sits off the main road and it is not easy to navigate the driveway, especially if you have a low to the ground car or van. It was convenient of getting to Denali National Park and we saw several moose on the road to the cabin. The bathroom facilities were clean and manageable, but would not want to spend more than a few days with the quick shower and composting toilet. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
