Excellent rental!
The cottage exceeded our expectations. The living space was more than adequate for four adults. It was beautifully appointed and well stocked with linens and supplies. Appliances were brand new. We had a problem with the coffee maker and within an hour of reporting it, the host arrived with a new one. The views were amazing!

Perfect Stay Just Outside of Denali
We loved using this property as our home base while exploring Denali National Park. We were maybe 15 minutes from the park and far enough away from the hustle and bustle of glitter gulch to enjoy quiet evenings on the back porch. The views from this house are exceptional. The house itself is seemingly brand new and incredibly clean and well appointed. We also appreciated having access to a washer and dryer as we were on an extended trip. We would definitely stay here again if we ever return to the area.
