"Wow. What an amazing house. The Mountain View’s were amazing, the house was clean and the exact size we needed. I only wish we could have stayed longer."

About this house rental

A spacious craftsman-built home perched on a ridge at the edge of the park. You will enjoy beautiful mountain views out every window, while savoring your morning coffee or a glass of wine on the upper or lower decks. You won't even notice the lack of a TV. There is a full kitchen complete with a crock pot and coffee maker, and an outdoor grill for preparing meals with your family or friends. Spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds ensure you’ll get a good nights sleep before heading out on your Denali adventures. Providing an alternative to the crowding noise and traffic of Denali’s hotel strip, our house was designed with a focus on providing relaxing spaces for hanging out, socializing or solitude.

Our home has been featured in Travel & Leisure's "7 Stunning Homes Near National Parks You Can Book on VRBO."

There is room in the house for a maximum of 10 people. There is one downstairs bedroom and three bedrooms upstairs. For new parents, a pack & play is located in the upstairs closet. It costs $50 a night for each additional person over 6 guests. If you want to have more than 6 people, please keep in mind that there is only one shower (in downstairs bath). Upstairs, there is a half bath (toilet and sink), a washer and a dryer. You may also book our small dry cabin across the driveway. The Denali Moonrise Cabin will sleep 2 guests and has an outhouse.

NO PETS PLEASE.

If you plan to arrive by train to Denali, you will need a rental car to get around the local area and to our house. "Keys to Denali" and "Alaska Auto Rental" located locally in Healy offers rental vehicles (including 12-passenger vans) and railroad depot pick-up and drop-offs. Be sure to book in advance.

For a fly over of the house, go to Denali Sunset House on youtube.

You will have access to the entire house, except the garage. This includes upstairs and downstairs decks, the yard surrounding the house, and of course you can step into endless wilderness just by walking down our driveway.

The home is located a mile off the Parks Highway, just a 10 mile drive to the Denali Park Visitor Center and the train depot, and the main hotel/restaurant and shopping zone. A few restaurants, and a nice locally owned cafe and art gallery are located within two miles, as is the trailhead for the popular Triple Lakes hike (no fishing license required inside the park).

We live close by. You can reach us by text or phone. We are happy to answer questions or offer advice on the local area.

We would suggest that you buy your groceries in Fairbanks or Anchorage. Although, there is a small supermarket 20 miles north in Healy. There are convenience stores around here, but they are limited and more expensive. We provide all linens, dish soap, trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper. A coffee maker is provided. The 1.5 mile road from the highway to our house is a maintained gravel road. It should not pose any problem for any vehicle.

Enjoy the books and board games - there is no TV, but we have high speed Starlink internet!

Minimum stay two nights, please. At times, we will get that odd solo night that is available between two bookings. We will waive the two night minimum stay in unique cases like this.

Seemed too good to be true when I found this house! But everything was accurate in the listing. So peaceful and tucked away without being too far from Denali. Host -super fast responsive and thoughtful! 7 adults 1 toddler and still had plenty of room for more. Definitely made it practical with grill, washing machine, ice trays(LOL) these made me happy/nostalgic. All the kitchen and grill tools sure simplified our meals. Such a sense of peace while sitting on the porch enjoying the view! I may have cried a bit when we left due to having had such a great experience with this home

Great family vacation home. Perfect location with stunning views out every window. Close to the village where most of our excursions left from yet deep enough in the woods to get a feel for what it’s like to live there. We were thrilled we got to watch a mama moose & her twins in the driveway one evening. Thoughtful amenities and signage/labels to find what we needed. Suggestion book was very helpful and spot on. Wine & cookies were a nice touch as well. Although we made it work, 1 shower for 9 people was definitely challenging. However, even when we all had to shower in the same night, there was warm water for all. Would definitely consider coming back to this home!!

Excellent rental property for large family or group gathering. It was perfect for our family vacation with nine people. We wanted something private, quiet and away from the crowds and it was just that. Perfect location to be in nature and enjoy the surroundings. Best of all, a very short drive to Denali. The hosts thought of everything, labels/instructions for any question around the house, guidebooks, board games, etc. Thank you for a memorable stay!
