Loved waking up to see Denali every day. Great location off the beaten path but still less than 10 minute drive into town.

No water sometimes
Rule book said only 2 can take showers at night, and only 2 in morning. It stated that the well does not pump enough water for more showers, and not over 5 min long for showers.What if there was 5 people in the group. We went by the rules that 1st night. But, about 3am, I heard water running and checked the toilet. The chain for the flapper came loose and stuck under the flapper causing it to keep running. I fixed it.The next day, the shower did not work for the boys, even though it was many hours later. It only dribbled out. As we left for the day, my wife called the host and left a message of the situation.
There are 2 other cabins nearby that are also hooked to the same water well, and the host said now I know why the others had no water in the morning.They did check the toilet to make sure it was repaired properly, and hoping it doesn't happen again.My wife also informed her that there was only 3 bath towels. We had registered with the 2 of us, plus 17 and 20 yr old Grandsons.The host said that she thought the young child did not need a bath towel. Really? A very young child would need a bath towel. The next night there was 4 bath towels.
Bedrms were upstairs and bathroom downstairs Some windows have no curtains and sun shined in all night.
Just the perfect size for my family of 4 - beautiful views of Denali - close to Talkeetna - 2 other cabins were filled with love new neighbors. Very enjoyable!
We enjoyed our stay. Cabin was quiet and cozy. Our only issues were that the listing shows one bedroom has a queen bed, the other bedroom has two twins and a queen. There is no second queen bed. In addition, we would of liked to know about the 5 minute shower limit.
When traveling with friends, we always look for more than one bathroom. If a rental has only one bathroom, then the bedroom is one place where one may get ready for the day without having to hog the bathroom. Adequate outlets, extension cords and a shelf below a mirror can help people to get ready without using the bathroom mirror. I basically had to do gymnastics to use a blow dryer and curling iron in the bedroom. I don't always travel with these items (curling iron & blow dryer) but we came to Alaska for a wedding and festivities for a few days, this meant we had to dress appropriately. So I would highly suggest doing some improvements in this area, thanks!
What a place to stay! The cabin is beautiful!! We would come back to this spot in the woods! The drive to town is just a couple of minutes and the people are so polite.

Beautiful cabin! Great views! Unfortunately the weather moved in and we weren't able to see Denali!!
We so enjoyed our time at the mountaintop and would recommend a stay for anyone. The space is beautiful, beautifully built, beautifully decorated with a breathtaking view. We all enjoyed some much needed downtime and immediately felt at home. I am so glad we found this place.

Wonderful little cabin. Perfect for our needs with incredible views of Denali on a clear day. Looking forward to starting again on our next trip.
The property description can be more detailed especially on the kitchen description, There was no stove and the refrigerator was very small. This property is in a beautiful location but was a bit tight for 4 adults and 2 teens. The check in process and the cleanliness was great. Thank you.

A beautiful view out of the windows - just not sure what mountains we were looking at! Lol! Not a long drive to downtown Talkeetna. Very nice house. There are steps up to the bedrooms, so renters should be aware of that. Assume that info is on the rental site, but I am not recalling.
