Rustic Moose Cabin Getaway
About this cabin rental
Located in Denali, this charming cabin for $145 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Have a relaxing stay at our off-grid studio style dry cabin. A quaint 12x12 log cabin nestled in the trees at the home of Wildthingz Dog Mushing, professional sled dog team of Iditarod and Yukon Quest dog Musher, Richie and wife Emily. The cabin is for the traveler looking for something more off the beaten path that still provides some comforts and amenities. There is solar power to charge your small electronics, like phones & tablets. There is a futon couch that pulls out into a full sized bed with a memory foam topper. All linens, blankets and towels are provided. There is a cooler for storing your food and all kitchen amenities are provided. There is a propane stove top, propane heater and a small wood stove on chilly nights. There is a private outhouse outdoors equipped with hand sanitizer and baby wipes for staying clean. We provide clean drinking water, sanitizer and soap indoors . There is no shower, but there are showers available for a small fee down the road at the local RV park and Vitus gas station. The cabin is right off the road and is easily accessible. There is a nice fire ring to hang around in the evening and trails to walk on down to the river. This place is a great getaway, close to Denali national park (30 minutes south) so you can enjoy all of its attractions but be a little removed from the busier hub of tourism.

What a nice little cabin, clean and cozy everything you could ask for if you want to do some camping but aren’t sure about staying in a tent

Cute little cabin. You get hot shower, reliable heat, clean water, gas stove. Nicely decorated. Perfect for a couple like us. Emily is very responsive and communicates well. The dog mushing tours look excellent and interesting. I would book a tour if we had more time. Thanks Emily and Richie. We enjoyed staying with you.

Description is spot on - if you want off grid, this is your place. Small, quiet, peaceful & away from it all.

The cabin was a great get away and a fun way to leave everything else behind. Close to Denali and sightseeing.

The cabin is really cute! Views and listening to the river were great! Close to awesome trails and a short walk to the river! Emily and Richie were extremely nice and welcoming! We loved getting to meet their doggos! Staying there was an unforgettable experience, would strongly recommend for anyone looking to get away from the typical tourist experience!

Such a great visit in a cozy cabin in Cantwell. Location is perfect, can hear the river in the distance. The area is quiet and perfect for relaxing or getting as adventurous as you would like! All the necessities are in the cabin. Owners are friendly and accommodating! Had a great visit!

My wife and I were doing an Alaskan road trip and were bouncing between staying in Healy or Cantwell. We landed on Cantwell for a couple of logistical reasons and came across the Rustic Moose. We lucked out. The setting was absolutely STUNNING!! If you're looking for a truly Alaskan Cabin experience while still being comfortable, give this cabin a run. Mind you, this is an Alaskan cabin (outhouse and a portable indoor shower), but the proprietors have gone to lengths to make sure you will be comfortable. We aren't austere travelers but had a blast using this as a base for our runs to Denali. Try it, you'll like it.

My husband and I stayed in the moose cabin for two nights. It was absolutely beautiful! It has everything you need and then some. Hot water, peaceful surroundings, a cozy bed plus all the extras that Emily and Richie thought of. We also really enjoyed the.dog mushing tour. So informative and personal. Thank you!

Perfect for Off The Grid Denali Adventure
Great stay for anyone who wants to just enjoy the wilderness and beauty of Alaska. Easy drive to Denali. Recommend bringing your own food or heading up to Three Bears in Healy to stock up. Our hosts were attentive and responsive.

We had such a great stay here at the cabin! Perfectly located just a short drive outside Denali, this cabin was the perfect place to dry during our trip. It was clean, cozy and quiet which is just what we wanted. The cabin had everything we needed including a cool little wood stove to heat us up. Definitely recommend!

Close to Denali, loved the river
The bed is MUCH better than you’d expect! The river is beautiful and surrounding area, we went there each morning!
This little cabin is right on a road that cars pass on to get to 1 other rental, BUT, trust me that the inside is great, the area is great, the location to DENALI is great. Definitely recommend!

Our stay in Cantwell was great! It’s an off-the-grid little cabin but there is a solar panel that offers lighting and heat and there is cell service! This was an upgrade from our truly off the grid experience in a different part of the state a few days prior! We had access to a hot shower, a stove top and everything we needed to make our 3 nights in Cantwell enjoyable. Not to mention the GORGEOUS views of the Talkeetna mountain range from the property. Emily and Richie were easy to communicate with, always responsive, and very kind! Our plans were derailed by weather one of the days we were there and Emily and Richie were kind enough to let us stop by and visit with them and their dogs one evening as well! They are wonderful hosts and we recommend staying here!

This was the perfect place to crash after long days of hiking in Denali. It had everything we needed. Emily and Richie were awesome hosts and even introduced us to their Sled Dog team! Can’t recommend this place enough.

Loved spending our trip with Emily and Richie! Their cabin is cozy and has the perfect amenities for any couple, including pots, pans, dishes, and even a charcoal grill. If you’re lucky, you may even get greeted by Wanda and Duke, two of their retired sled dogs. We hope to come back some day!

The Rustic Moose cabin was absolutely a perfect fit for our desire to feel a part of the Alaskan wilderness while exploring the Denali National Park and surrounding area. It was a great balance of off the grid but still met our needs for rest and travel. We were able to leave the tourist feel of the park and drive a quick, easy drive to this quiet hide away for dinners, an easy walk to the river and comfortable nights sleep before another full day.
There is a Vitus mini mart right at the corner as you turn from the highway that is super helpful if you forgot anything(we forgot ice for the provided cooler). The cabin was stocked with the basics for simple cooking/eating. There were lawn chairs for sitting around the fire. The shower was warm and had good water pressure to get clean. The cabin was plenty warm enough for the cloudy wet days we had. It was nice to have the solar power to plug in our phones for the next day.
I would highly recommend this little get away for your stay as you explore this not so little area of Alaska!!

This cute little cabin served us well during our Denali visit. Emily is very friendly, thoughtful, and accomodating... Great communication! We happened to be visiting during a heat wave, but the screened windows provided a great breeze. There was an issue with the shower, but Emily provided alternatives and a discount for the inconvenience. The oatmeal, coffee, and various bug spray/toiletries were a nice touch. We enjoyed our stay... only wish we had time to do their Sled Dog tour! 😊

The cabin was tucked away from the crowd and yet not very far from the highway. Walk to the Jack river was beautiful, and views of Denali were amazing from the road about a mile away from the cabin.
The cabin was pretty warm, we didn't even turn on the propane heater. Hot water in the shower was very instant, which is well worth after long hikes in Denali.

Perfect cabin stay for someone looking to get away. It’s a step up from camping in a tent, but in a good way. Access to a shower after long hikes in Denali National park is well worth it, plus a cooktop to make breakfast and dinner.
