About this cabin rental
PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION. THEN READ IT AGAIN!!!
Have a relaxing stay at our off-grid studio style dry cabin. A quaint 12x12 log cabin nestled in the trees at the home of Wildthingz Dog Mushing, professional sled dog team of Iditarod and Yukon Quest dog Musher, Richie and wife Emily.
The cabin is for the traveler looking for something more off the beaten path that still provides some comforts and amenities.
There is solar power to charge your small electronics, like phones & tablets.
There is a full sized bed and a single Japanese floor mattress underneath for a 3rd person. All linens, blankets and towels are provided. There is a cooler for storing your food and all kitchen amenities are provided. There is a propane stove top and propane heater for chilly nights.
There is a private outhouse outdoors equipped with hand sanitizer and baby wipes for staying clean.
We provide clean drinking water, sanitizer and soap indoors .
There is no shower, but there are showers available for a small fee down the road at the local RV park and Vitus gas station.
The cabin is right off the road and is easily accessible. There is a nice fire ring to hang around in the evening and trails to walk on down to the river. This place is a great getaway, close to Denali national park (30 minutes south) so you can enjoy all of its attractions but be a little removed from the busier hub of tourism.
you need a car to get to our property - there are restaurants within 5 minutes of our place. More dining options are 20 minutes north. Bring food to cook in the cabin or BBQ on the small charcoal grill.
dogs are welcome but must be leashed at all times, as we have sled dogs on property.
you might see other guests coming in going as we have 2 other rentals and a sled dog tour operation.
ask about our tour! we offer 20% off for our rental guests.
I want to REPEAT there is NO bathroom and running water. there is an OUTHOUSE. please see photos for reference of outhouse.
expect to see bugs outside - this is Alaska in summer. there are bugs.
expect to see other people. there are 2 other units nearby (but you still will have quiet and privacy) and there are people coming and going.

We loved our stay here. Despite some initial concerns over it being a dry cabin, we both ended up loving this accommodation over all the ones we stayed during our two week trip in AK. It definitely will one of our most memorable and it was a great “off grid” experience. It was an inviting space; cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed. Emily and Ritchie have put a lot of thought and consideration into everything a guest might need. It got down to a chilly and windy 30 degrees the nights we stayed but the propane heater kept us warm and very comfortable. Emily made sure we had plenty of water too. The bedding was soft and warm, but as side sleepers, we could have used more cushion or padding (easy fix.) We also got to meet the sled dogs on our last day and were treated to clear views of Denali up on the plateau. Emily also was very responsive to our texts; promptly answering any questions or concerns we had during our stay (like how to use the propane heater.) We enjoyed our stay here so much that we would love to return again some day!
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
Adequate at best, attributed to very poor craftsmanship/upkeep. The house was water proof, but let in tons of air through cracks in the walls and doorframe. The front door did not shut well or lock at all when inside, which was most concerning since the road was about 5 feet away and there was other cabins about 150 yards away. The heater turned on only when it was cold enough within its 3’ radius, so most of the house stayed very cold. The outhouse had a half door so you still got wet if you tried to pee in the rain, and there were (thankfully, capped) electrical wires dangling from the ceiling. Location was convenient to Denali National Park, but safety was questionable. Good if you’re looking for an off the grid cabin not far from others, bad if you stay in the winter time.
