About this property

Great views from A Second Home in Denali, vacation rental, close to the Park!

A Second Home has four bedrooms and two and a half bedrooms, LARGE dining room with a table for all, kitchen and living room, and laundry room. Each bedroom has its own TV and there is a LARGE screen TV in the living room. Guests often mention the home has beautiful views and is spacious for families and friends to gather comfortably.

You will see more trees and mountains than people when you are here. THIS PROPERTY HAS TO BE OWNER-OCCUPIED, AS PER HOA RULES.. Owners' space is a completely separate area with a different area.

Second Home has a LARGE, private deck in the backyard that looks out on mountain views. It's the only Denali vacation rental with a completely paved driveway and parking area and two acres of quiet lawns and woodlands. It has a turn-around driveway with plenty of space for parking.

Owners are year-round Alaskans who have been hosting guests for 36 years in the Denali Area. They book rental cars and give accurate tour desk information. They offer free transfers to and from the Denali Depot if you book a rental car and reserve train tickets through them.. If you are confused about tours and transit buses and attraction in the Park, ask your hosts.

They have up-to-date information about Denali National Park, the area and the state. Their tips will save you money and time. Example: be sure to take the East Fork Transit Bus for $33.25 (2024 prices) instead of the Tundra Wilderness Tour for $144.00. The transit bus is narrated too. Please ask if you have Denali questions.

Our stay at Second Home in Denali was exceptional!
Ann proactively shared useful tips before our arrival. She personally greeted us and showed off the house. The space was spotless, the bedrooms spacious, the kitchen was well-equipped. Stunning views and a memorable visit from a mother moose and her two calves made our stay unforgettable. Thank you, Ann!

Beware: Second Home in Denali is not like home unless you live in a construction site.
In 20 years of VRBOs, I've never needed to file a public complaint until staying at Second Home in Denali, in Healy, Alaska. Our party of 6 rented two homes in Alaska. We chose "Second Home in Denali" because we thought it was a quiet, luxury home in a beautiful location. We did not get that. Days before arrival (after cancellation dates) I got an email that "construction is STILL going on at the apartment to the side of your rental." I wasn't sure what that meant, but since we paid 10 months prior, what to do? RENTERS BEWARE: This meant full house renovation 9 a.m. to 5/6 p.m. Weekends included. The owners are building a separate apartment inside the VRBO just beyond a locked hollow core door. We listened to air compressors, nail guns, tile saws, contractor music and conversations all week. Dust seeped under doors. When I asked Ann to come see, she asked what compensation would be fair. When we told her half of what we paid, she started avoiding us. She denied each request to pause construction. Ann reimbursed us half her profit in the end, but it's not half what we paid. She said VRBO takes too much. We are not satisfied. When she said my mother, age 79, should've napped at her house and closed the second story bathroom curtains if she didn't want construction workers looking in (they worked on all house windows), I decided to warn others. Ann and Terry were the only negative in an otherwise perfect trip of a lifetime.

Quiet getaway
The property is very quiet and peaceful. It was very clean, stocked with all the necessities and the property owner was very responsive. We enjoyed the close location to Denali and a local grocery store! The highlight of the stay was a moose and her twin babies who visited the backyard on a daily basis!

Amazing Host
The house was perfect for us. It had tons of space and everything we needed. The location was ideal. What truly stood out was our host. We left a ukulele at the property by accident, and she went to tremendous lengths to return it to us. There were many messages back and forth, coordination with a bus driver, and a long trip to deliver it to the bus. Ann has a huge heart and we are very grateful to her.

We were surprised and impressed with this two story home. It felt like we were moving into a new, well-furnished house. The kitchen was nicely supplied with all the condiments and incidentals needed for cooking. And we enjoyed the spacious deck and view. The home is easily accessible from the highway and close to Denali NP. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location and awesome wildlife
This was a really cool place to stay. We spent a week on a cruise ship in smaller quarters, and it was really nice to be able to spread out. It was also a wonderful place to stay. We saw lots of wildlife just here in the yard. we were also able to get into town and enjoy some really good pizza and enjoy the local flavors. If you’re wondering, there is a very serviceable grocery store just up the road not more than 10 minutes walk. The national park is only about 15 to 20 minutes away. Everything is well appointed and exactly as described. Great place!

Healy Stay in the Wilderness
We had a wonderful stay near Denali. The home surpassed our expectations. The house was extremely comfortable and clean. The view was majestic and the kitchen was well stocked. Aside from seeing moose in the backyard, we enjoyed a number of activities at Denali National Park and at nearby shops. We took a sightseeing flight with Denali Air and were blessed with a thoroughly exhilarating experience flying around Denali, up close on a gorgeous day. We had a great time at the 49th Restaurant sampling both the extensive beer menu.and the fantastic food. It was our favorite restaurant. Ann was very helpful in suggestions for our trip and took the worry out of our stay. We highly recommend this 2nd Home as being 1st Class. You won't want to leave!

It is 1/2 mile from Highway #3. It's close enough to restaurants and attractions and tours, and far enough away to be quiet and private.

What makes this property unique

There are many features provided for your comfort: dishwasher, laundry room with washer, dryer, and hanging racks, BBQ, large porches, coded entry, TV's in every bedroom and in the large living room, pellet stove for that fireplace feeling without the mess, stocked kitchen, microwave, two ovens, extra drawer in the refrigerator, and more.

The owners have been hosting guests in the Denali area for 33 years. They know Denali National Park and the surrounding neighborhoods.
