Healy stay

This property is about as perfect as we could have hoped for. Location is great if you’re visiting Denali. The deck on back of home is perfect to hang out on. We got to see a mama moose and her calf right in the “backyard”. We would absolutely stay here again.

We loved the location as it was convenient for visiting Denali National Park but also in a beautiful location of its own. The views of the trees and mountains were beautiful and the visit by some wildlife (a snowshoe hare and a two moose) was fun to experience. The cottage itself was very nicely equipped and organized. Our stay there was wonderful!

Cozy cabin near Denali

This cabin is very cozy and clean. It is a short and beautiful drive to Denali. We loved coming back to a quiet peaceful place with fall color right off the deck and nice views when the rain let up. The bed is very comfortable and the hosts thought of all you might need. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and definitely hope to stay again. All around great place to stay.

Perfection!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage. The cottage was even better than we anticipated. It’s spacious, comfortable and well stocked. We ended up making breakfast everyday and dinner two of our four nights at the cottage because we found it so relaxing. The weather was excellent, so we were able to enjoy the field and mountain views from the deck. We travel a lot and the Cottage at Dry Creek is one of the best places we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying. If you’re looking for a private and homey place to stay near Denali National Park, be sure to book here.
