The place was awesome! The location was close to restaurants and a grocery store and a short drive to the National park entrance. It was easy to find with all of the hosts instructions. They were very informative about every step to the process. We did have a sewage smell toward the end of our trip, but I messaged them and they responded right away on a solution.

The owners thought of everything that travelers would need while on their journey through Alaska. The high end kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies (many spices & condiments), Tupperware and baggies for your hikes in Denali Park!
The cabin is just a mile off the main road and 15min to the park. It is a beautiful home which has a porch with spectacular sunrise & moonrise views over the mountains.
Some lucky folks may even catch a moose or bear checking out to the place to make sure the guests are having a good time! So be alert!
We’ll definitely come back next time we are in ALASKA.

We loved staying in this very roomy, well-equipped home for two nights as we visited Denali. Everything previous reviewers said was true -- exceptionally clean, well-equipped and quiet, with high-end appliances, expensive grill and everything anyone could possibly need, including a nice, new washer and dryer. The owners have given a great deal of thought to what a traveler needs, from an alarm clock/charging station to extra towel rods and iron/ironing board! What's more, it is only 20 minutes from the Denali visitor center and very close to a grocery store and the excellent 49th State Brewing Company in Healy. It was a blessing to us to have a place where we could relax (with a very large TV and great range of channels) after a long day in the park. Highly recommend.

We recently stayed at the Cottage at Dry Creek. I can not say enough good things about this place and the hosts. The cottage was pleasant, clean, and extremely well stocked. The view from the back deck is gorgeous!!! We truly enjoyed our stay there. Shannon and David were the best hosts. They were wonderful with communications and very kind. I highly recommend staying here for anyone traveling in the Denali National Park area.

Wonderful property. Appears to be very new. Location is about 15 minutes north of The main Denali NP entrance. Close to the local grocery store and very private

Everything was perfect! Nicer than the pictures. Very clean, comfortable beds, top of the line appliances, everything was well labeled and easy to fine. Convenient to Healy and Denali Park. 2nd bedroom was a little tight but a very minor issue. One of the nicest VRBO's I have stayed in. Hosts were great to work with.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights with another couple. There were 2 separate bedrooms which was nice and the living space was open and comfortable. The back deck was beautiful and had amazing views! The beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed and the property managers/owners were easy to communicate with and have very detailed instructions on everything. We would definitely stay here again!

This was truly the most beautiful perfect place to make your home for enjoying Denali! The accommodations are gorgeous and IMMACULATE and absolutely everything you could ever need or want is provided! We were there with another couple. The beautiful shared bathroom in the hallway was WORTH SHARING to have this awesome place!!!. Every detail is thought of. The view is magnificent! The inside and outside is outfitted with top notch furniture. The kitchen is gorgeous and well stocked. The location in Healy is IDEAL!!! Only 15 minutes to Denali National Park, just minutes from a lovely grocery store and the original 49th State Brewery. The hosts communicated perfectly and it was so easy to find. Don’t miss sunrise on the back deck overlooking the beautiful wildflower garden and the majestic mountains in the background! We wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when visiting Denali. THANK YOU to these wonderful hosts for sharing this GEM!!!

We had a great stay at Cottage at Dry Creek #1. I have stayed at many VRBO’s and I’ve never had one more appropriately accommodated in terms of amenities for travelers - coffee, glad plastic bags, etc. The owner’s have literally thought of everything! We really liked the location in Healy - a short 10-15 minute drive to the entrance of Denali and out of the hustle / bustle of land / cruise traffic. I woke up one morning at 4 am and we had a a mama moose and 2 calves in our backyard!! We would most definitely stay here again when we come back to Alaska. We stayed 4 nights in this VRBO and it was all excellent!!

Can’t say enough nice things about this property. The location is great, and the house is beautiful. There’s so much attention to detail, from the cleanliness, to stocking the house with everything someone might need, to very helpfully labeling contents of all cabinets and drawers, to the river rock shower floor that represents the rocks in the nearby Dry Creek. We loved being close to Denali NP, and it was a bonus to be so close to the 49th State Brewery, which was excellent for dinners. Don’t hesitate to book here!

These accommodations were the best during our 2+ week trip to Alaska. If Alaska wasn’t so big we would have preferred to stay here and use it as our home base, we loved the property that much! Comfortable, relaxing, beautiful scenery. Everything you could need to cook, wash, do laundry was available. The hosts were attentive and provided information to enhance the stay. Perfect location close to Denali for visiting the park and hiking, etc. Would love to stay again. Thanks!

We stayed at the cottage for 4 nights and it was the perfect home base for my two sons and I to explore Denali National Park. The owners were great with communication, the cottage was exactly as advertised and we had everything we needed including an amazing view from the back porch. Thank you!!

Amazing home! Great layout and amazing views! The pictures really do not do it justice! The home is well appointed with all the essentials provided. We have stayed in a lot of homes and this was definitely the best! Close to Denali, restaurants, and other activities! The host's were amazing!

Wonderful place to stay! It was great for our first family getaway with our 3 month old. (: it has everything you need and I loved how the kitchen was labeled! The host was also amazing!

Beautiful updated cabin outside of town with amazing views! This cabin was fully stocked with anything you ever might need on a trip away!! We were shocked with all they had available. Comfy beds. Easy to find. I will note that there is another rental cabin next door, I was unaware of this from the listing (could’ve been my mistake) but it isn’t super private if someone is staying there at the same time. We came in fall and were the only ones for most of our stay so it was very private and perfect for our honeymoon. In offseason Healy is a great place to stay as they have a year round grocery stop, gas stations, and even a good breakfast spot (Roses cafe). Good communication with the host, they checked in after a couple days to see if we were enjoying or needed anything, and again for check out. I highly recommend and would love to stay again!

We've been in Alaska for 2 1/2 weeks and have stayed at 5 different VRBOs. We would rate this cottage as one of the best! We enjoyed the hospitality and stay! It was remote but easy to find with detailed directions and pictures provided by David and Shannon. The cottage was precious! It was clean, modern, and equipped with everything we needed to be comfortable. The location was perfect for us since we were only 20 minutes from Denali National Park. Communication was great! We would highly recommend this rental!
5.0
Everything you need for an amazing stay in Healy. Very close to Denali but much more secluded & relaxing. Gorgeous views right off the back deck, we saw moose & the northern lights. Definitely recommend the Alaskan coffee bean & the brewery. Three bears grocery is right around the corner & well stocked. Just perfect!

The hosts David and Shannon were excellent communicators with directions, instructions for house, and even called to check on us when we were driving up. It is a gorgeous property! Highly loved by our entire party.
