Fantastic!
In a state where an uncomfortable number of VRBO offerings feature outhouses, this cabin in Healy has all the comforts of home. The scenery is gorgeous, the location is phenomenal (just minutes from a grocery store, coffee shop, and of course Denali National Park), and the home itself is well-provisioned for guests who would like to cook at home. My only gripe would be that the check-out list is a bit too long and involved, especially when one is traveling with children and trying to get out in time to make it back to town for a flight. However, Shannon and David were very accommodating, and they helpfully offered to mail us back a charger and a sock that we accidentally left behind. Thanks for a great stay!

The Cottage at Dry Creek was better than advertised. It was clean, comfortable, well appointed and well thought out. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to prepare meals. The hosts provided a couple of coolers, bear and bug spray and literature on local attractions/restaurants. Best of all it had a beautiful view to that could be enjoyed from the couch, breakfast table or back porch. We were there to visit Denali National Park and the park was just an easy 20 minute drive away. Shannon and David's cottage was was a great choice for us and we highly recommend it for your trip to the Denali/Healy area.

Perfection!
The house was clean and plenty of room for all of us to lounge after a day of hiking (seating for 4). Appreciated the kitchen being fully stocked and the little cooler for day hikes. We were able to make all our meals which was great since the house is remote. We had a young moose visit us two days. Everything about the house was well thought out from the kitchen to the entry way items and bench. The bedrooms were comfortable with blackout curtains and easy access plugins. The best Vrbo we have stayed in! Highly recommend and the owners were very communicative. Loved it and Denali!

Beautiful location
Excellent location to explore Denali. Generous hosts. The only issue was the heater was a bit of a challenge in the main room. Saw northern lights off of the porch and bedroom window.

Perfect Home Away From Home
Where do I begin? First of all, the cabin is exactly as described. It is clean and fully stocked with every item we could have thought to ask for, plus more that we never would have remembered to request, but were thrilled to have access to! Every item in the home seemed to be of the absolute highest quality, helping us to feel like we were vacationing luxuriously at an affordable and competitive rate! Literally, from 5 minutes after I booked until our last moments at the property, David and Shannon went above and beyond anything I have ever encountered before. From personalized recommendations specific to my aging mother's needs, to checking in on us as though we were old friends and a pure kindness that I haven't seen in any other rental...it all blew us away! During our stay, we spent one night away to check out the Chena Hot Springs and we both said that it felt like we were returning "home" when we got back. My mom has Dementia, so having a peaceful, clean home was paramount for her to enjoy our Alaskan adventure! And don't even get me started on the views!!! WOW!! We saw the magical Northern Lights and had a few inches of snow bid us fairwell. The location was fantastic! It took us between 10 and 15 minutes to get to Denali National Park and there was a year-round grocery store within 5 minutes. I honestly cannot recommend this home enough and I am already planning to bring my husband and son back with me to stay here. Thank you, David and Shannon for EVERYTHING!

Gorgeous little cabin in the big tundra woods.
This is a great property that is isolated and quiet with great views of the Denali area. The cabin is well appointed with modern appliances and finishing touches . Everything worked perfectly, even the barbecue grill! A Fantastic getaway for a family visiting Denali!

Secluded Stay
House is extremely clean and comfortable. The hosts have stocked the house with everything needed to have a relaxing stay. The views are beautiful and the setting is very serene. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return if we are in the area again.

Excellent rental!
The cottage exceeded our expectations. The living space was more than adequate for four adults. It was beautifully appointed and well stocked with linens and supplies. Appliances were brand new. We had a problem with the coffee maker and within an hour of reporting it, the host arrived with a new one. The views were amazing!
