Nice little cabins north of Denali
Nice, clean cabins in Healy, just north of Denali (about 20 minutes.) There is no stove or range available but there is both a propane grill and a charcoal grill with supplies, along with a fire pit. It even had smores makings! It is actually set up more like an extended stay hotel room rather than a small house as the 2 queen beds are on the left wall and the kitchenette is on the right wall of the same room, with a kitchen table and chairs in the middle. The bathroom has a barn door separating it. (Just good to know as it kind of makes it so everyone is in one area without a separate walled-in bedroom area.) There are 5 or 6 of these same cabins in a row, but otherwise you are pretty remote. Beautiful location! Great host! Would definitely stay here again!

Denali Trip
We stayed at these lovely cabins near Healy and really enjoyed having a beautiful lake to walk to and being so close to Denali! The drive was easy and LaCie’s directions were perfect. Stay here if you are more into glamping.

Perfect getaway cabin-10 out of 10!
We had a wonderful stay at Caribou Cabin! The setting is peaceful and quiet,with gorgeous views of the mountains all around.It only takes about 10 minutes or so to get to the Park entrance,and less than that to the little community of Healy in the opposite direction. Lacie has thought of so many details that made it significantly more comfortable than many cabin rentals (drinking water,hair dryer, cooler and ice packs,Kcups and Keurig,basic spices, paper plates even S'MORES ingredients!) The beds were very comfortable,with soft linens and plenty of GOOD pillows,blackout shades were helpful to block out the midnight sun.Screens on all the windows so you can get fresh air (without mosquitoes!) and if you are cold natured there is a good space heater.The kitchenette has a good sized fridge,freezer and microwave, full size sink, Keurig and big toaster. No oven or stovetop,so just don't bring groceries that need those.Since we mainly only eat quick and easy stuff on vacation,this was perfect for our plans. We did not use it due to heavy windy conditions and some jam packed days of hiking,but there is even a very nice grilling and fire pit area in front of the cabins. There is a nice quiet lake just a quick walk away.Lacie was easy to communicate with and is very helpful if any issues or questions arise. Overall, this was a fantastic rental and I would not hesitate to book again next time we are in the area. I think it would be great to come back and visit in the snow!

Exactly how it was listed. High end everything with a rustic wilderness setting. Close to Denali. Just like it is listed there is no stove or cooktop. Great beds and shower is top notch.

Great Hosts, Great Location, Great Cabin
The cabin we stayed in was the Caribou. It was recently built within the last few years and is in pristine condition. The location of the property is fantastic, and is wonderful for those that want to get off of the beaten path and away from the institutionalized tourist approach. The hosts were very accommodating, and we enjoyed speaking with them about local tidbits, as well as getting to know them. The owners are hard-working, and will certainly do what they can to make sure that if you have anything that needs attention, they will be there.

Nice setting, reasonably convenient to Denali NP and away from any tourist activity. Great views of a moose cow with calf from the cabin door and later on a walk to the nearby private lake.

I really liked this cabin. Dark shades, two spacious beds, table to eat at, tv channels, fridge, and a nice bathroom. There isn’t a stove but that was okay with us. They gave us bottled water. Road is bumpy on the way in but we drove slow. Close to Denali! Would stay here again!

Caribou Cabin Getaway
Denali Wildlife Cabins is a great place to stay when you are in the Denali/Healy area. This is my second stay here and both times have been a very nice stay. A well appointed and comfortable cabin in a peaceful setting! We were even given a call when the Northern Lights were visible so we could go outside to watch, so thankful for that!

Tucked away about 15 min from the entrance to the park, it was a nice place with plenty of outdoor space and a lake nearby. We even had a bull moose come say hello during our 2 night stay.

Excellent Choice
Great place to stay away from the tourists at Denali. The cabin was well-stocked, clean, and comfortable. The setting was quiet and peaceful with a nice mountain view. Lacie reached out to us before we left our home in Eagle River to let us know our cabins were ready - she is an awesome host! It's the perfect place to stay while visiting Denali or the Healy area.

Clean and comfortable
There was some communication issues with the VRBO system, so if you don't hear from Lacie, give her a call! Once she realized I wasn't getting messages, she called me and we were all set! Lacie provided bottled water, smores supplies, and helped out with a cooler and ice packs for our Denali bus tour. Since we were flying in and were minimal in what we could bring, the cabin had what we needed for sure! The wifi worked great too. The beds were very comfortable and water pressure was great for showers. The whole cabin was very clean. The driveway is really long and rocky, so be prepared for that. Just take your time!

Just so so
Surprised to find out no potable water and no dishes just a few paper plates. There was some bottled water provided by the host. Location is good away from the bustle at the park entrance but limited views. We stayed at 3 houses while in Alaska and found this one to be our least favorite experience.

I'm sorry to hear that your stay with us was just "So So" because we really do go above and beyond to try and make sure our guest have everything that will make their trip enjoyable while here. We provide a case of water, and a gallon of water for the Keurig, paper plates and bowls etc. When I came to talk to you and ask you to PLEASE NOT hang your jacket on the Caribou horns (that you had to pull away from the wall so you could do so) and to NOT hang clothes on the porch light because that is NOT what either are their for. My intentions were not to embarrass you but to let you know that it was not ok to do so. That was when I let you know if their was anything I could do, or get for you to please let me know and I would be more than happy to do so. As for the views I'm not sure what you were wanting. but am sorry that you didn't find our views awesome and peaceful as many of our guests do. Thank you for staying with us, and I hope that you did get to take in the peaceful beauty of our AMAZING state of Alaska!

Great cabin!
We had a great time at the cabin. It is close to to Denali National Park, but tucked away from the larger hotels near the entrance. The hosts were very accommodating and even went out of their way to provide fishing poles for our kids to try catching trout at the nearby lake. There is a gas grill available for guests and the cabin was stocked with snack foods. Even though it has just a kitchenette, the use of the grill, microwave, toaster and refrigerator allowed us to cook most of our own meals. While we were there a moose cow and calf visited the property at daily. Definitely bring eye masks though, the cabins do not have blackout shades.

Stayed the night before and the night of driving into Denali NP. Very clean and well appointed cabin. Comfortable beds, spacious shower (soft towels!) and area for cooking / eating. Pantry with spices, plates, tea and s’mores supplies! There is a TV and internet as well. We didn’t get to explore around the cabin, but it was quiet and beautiful.

Cabin appeared to be brand new, and was beautiful inside. Bath was large and first class. Owner provided everything that someone might want. Coffee was provided. Even pop corn, smooores and fishing poles provided. Nearby lake and ATV rentals. 5 minutes to Denali Park entrance. Nice firepit with wood, lighter and starter.

Nice but...
Cabin is located within 10 minutes of Denali and 5 minutes of Healy. Cabin was clean but small for a family. Everything is located within one room & it is tight. Price was a little high considering the size of the cabin. Host was nice and located nearby.

Sorry to hear your stay wasn't what you had planned, the description is pretty clear (size and amenities) what our cabins have to offer along with all the pictures shows it as well. We go above and beyond to make sure our guest have everything they might want for an amazing time as you know. That just goes to show, no matter how hard you try, you can't please everybody. I'm sorry that you were here during the worst rain that we have had in years and weren't able to do the things you wanted to do, but that is one thing we can't control - the weather. I hope the rest of your vacation went well and the weather held out for you on your cruise.

This cabin was clean and new. Tucked away from the highway in a quiet spot with a small lake, it was a peaceful alternative to glitter gulch but only a short drive to the park.
