○ ☽ ☆ Denali Moonrise Cabin - Stunning Mountain Views

Calling all outdoorsy people - experience the Alaska dream in an quaint, one room DRY (no running water) cabin perched on a ridge at the edge of Denali National Park. Stunning mountain views from the large picture window. Located close to the National Park, outside the commercial district, in a quiet residential neighborhood.

There is a kitchen counter, a mini fridge, and a 2-burner propane cook top for preparing meals. Dishes, silverware, pans, and a coffee/tea bar provided. Paper towels, dish soap, towel and sponge are also provided.

To ensure you’ll get a good nights sleep before heading out on your Denali adventures, you will have your choice between sleeping on the comfortable full sized futon on the main floor, or climbing the ladder to the loft where you’ll find a full sized new memory foam mattress upstairs (and blackout curtains). Bed linens are provided.

Maximum occupancy is 2 people. Enjoy the books and board games - there is no TV, but we have high speed Starlink internet!

The home is located a mile off the Parks Highway, just a 10 mile drive to the Denali Park Visitor Center and the train depot, and the main hotel/restaurant and shopping zone. A few restaurants are located within two miles, as is the trailheads for the popular Triple Lakes and Nenana River hikes (no fishing license required inside the park).

The 1.5 mile road from the highway to our house is a maintained gravel road. It should not pose any problem for any vehicle.

Excellent stay. The pictures are exactly what it’s like. Shower worked well, outhouse did what it needed to do, appliances were as advertised. And just 15 minutes from Denali. A stay doesn’t get much more awesome than this.

Great Stay near Denali NP

This cabin worked out very well for my wife and me for two nights while we visited Denali NP and the surrounding area. We wanted to be close to nature and away from the tourist scene and this fit that perfectly!

I was lucky to get this booking. Simple and small. The outdoor shower and outhouse was no problem at all - very clean and well thought out. I recommend this place for your Denali stay.
