About this property

Tim’s Cabin near Denali National Park

The cabin is 320 sqft. It has hot and cold running water, kitchen sink , toilet and shower inside. Dishes, dish soap, cooking utensils, silverware, soap and shampoo included. Heating is supplied by a forced air furnace and a electric radiant heater. The bathroom is only accessible though the bedroom. There is a futon in the living room where another person could sleep. A two burner gas stovetop is provided along with a small refrigerator containing your complimentary sausage and eggs and other things.
Coffee and coffee maker, pots and pans, dishes and other things provided to make your stay enjoyable. Outdoor fire pit with unlimited firewood also included. ( although most summers here have a period of burn restrictions due to drought).
The cabin is about 24 miles from the main entrance of Denali Park. There are a couple or restaurants on the way to the park about ten miles from the cabin. The nearest gas is about 4 miles to the south in Cantwell. The best grocery store is in Healy about 35 miles to the north. The same direction as the park entrance. But about ten miles past it.
The cabin is set up for a maximum of two people. A quiet and relaxing setting. This is a small privately owned 5 acre homestead situated in a small rural subdivision. Me and my wife personally operate it and are onsite at all times. We don’t charge any extra fees for cleaning or any listed amenities. Our goal is to give you a place to relax and enjoy your trip to Denali without a book of rules and undue stress. We have frozen our rental price at 2019 levels to help keep your cost as low as possible. Thanks

Home base in Denali

My husband and I loved our stay at Tim’s cabin. It had everything we needed, was close to Denali NP and quite comfortable. We loved how the cabin was decorated and felt right at home. Tim kindly left some provisions in the cabin for us too! (There is no cell service, but the cabin was equipped with WiFi if you need to check in with people back home). We would absolutely stay here again in the future! Thank you Tim!

Amazing stay!

My husband and I had a great time during our stay at Tim’s cabin. Very cozy cabin, and we felt very at home. The eggs & sausage/cereal was a plus! Tim was very accommodating. We also saw a moose outside the cabin one morning, which was so cool! Next time we’re in Alaska, we’ll be sure to stay again :)

Perfect cabin for the 2 of us!

Great location just outside of Denali. Tim was a wonderful host. The cabin was well stocked with useful items. Breakfast was in the fridge and was such a thoughtful thing from Tim! The cabin was very clean and well maintained. Perfect size cabin for the 2 of us after a long day in Denali.

Perfect little cabin in the woods!

For a couple not wanting to be next to a bunch of other tourists, and wanting to be in the Alaskan wilderness (yet close to the main highway and within 10 minutes of 3 good dining options), Tim’s cabin is the right choice! The views on the 30 min drive to the park are great, and twice we saw a cow moose and calf, once while walking a trail near the cabin. Tim was a great host; very helpful with info!

Peaceful Place

Tim’s cabin was a perfect place for us. Located in a private area it was great to go back to after dealing with crowds in Denali. Tim was a fantastic host. This is a hidden gem in that area. Would highly recommend it

Excellent Alaskan Cabin

This cabin was exactly what we expected & needed! Away from other people & surrounded by the beautiful Alaskan forest. We loved being able to take a nice warm shower after a full day in Denali!

We had a great stay in Tims Cabin. The bacon and eggs was a great surprise and made for a wonderful breakfast. Tim was there when we arrived at the cabin and went over everything we needed to know. Would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a great place close to Denali...

A fantastic cabin.

Tim was a wonderful host and had a toasty cabin waiting for us, complete with unexpected food and provisions. It's a great place for an escape and within striking distance of the park or the Denali Highway.

About the host

Hosted by Tim McCoy

Host profile image
I moved to Cantwell 20 years ago for work. I loved it so much I built a cabin and never left. A Wonderful and wild place far from the city yet easily accessible year round.

Why they chose this property

Surrounded by mountains on all sides and untouched landscapes of the park right out the back doorway

What makes this property unique

Hand built And Developed over years of use and trial and error. Waking up to find the yard is filled with moose eating your willow bushes or a bear just wandering by. Truly a wild place. Central to the Denali highway and Denali park. To many adventure opportunities to list.
