Modern Rustic Cabin with Denali View

Are you looking for the experience of a rustic Alaskan cabin with modern comforts to enjoy with family and friends? Want something close to Denali National Park but away from the crowds? Would you like to increase your chances of seeing Mount Denali? Reindeer Mountain Cabin is all of that and more. Built in the 1974, the cabin has unique carvings at the ends of the roof purlins and on the front porch, with views of Mount Denali and the Talkeetna Range. It is located a beautiful 27 mile drive south of Denali National Park. While a view of Denali can be elusive to summer visitors, at our cabin, you can step out on the porch at any hour to see if the mountain is on display.

Reindeer Mountain Cabin is approximately 1200 SF and has two bedrooms, each with one queen size bed. One bedroom has a full en suite bathroom. The second full bathroom has a washer and dryer and is located off of the hallway for ease of access. There is a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, with plenty of seating and views of the Talkeetna Mountains. The kitchen is stocked with basic pantry staples and condiments.

The cabin was originally part of Reindeer Mountain Lodge, built in the 70's and ran until the 90's, servicing the workers that built the intertie through our area. After sitting abandoned and full of storage for over a decade, the deteriorating lodge was deconstructed and the cabin was gutted and renovated. While some deconstruction currently continues on the property between guests, no work will occur while guests are in the cabin.

A greenhouse on the property has been renovated from its previous life as the original Cantwell state trooper post and single jail cell, and now provides a dining area to escape the mosquitos and cool evenings.

Awesome cabin

The outside left a little to be desired but the inside more than made up for the exterior. We had a great view of Denali from the cabin.

Absolutely wonderful stay here with Denali visible all 3 days from the front porch. Beds were very comfortable, house was very, very clean and with Jam Jams in walking distance it was perfect! I would go here again in an instant!! Saw moose droppings every day but didn’t see the moose.

Roomy accommodations

This property was great for a larger group, as the living room and kitchen is large enough for everyone to hang out comfortably. The greenhouse is cute, and the river access is peaceful. Only downfall was the proximity to anything to do. If you simply need a place to sleep, this is a great spot. But if you’re looking for dinner, drinks, or close hiking trails, I’d suggest looking closer to the park, or in Healy.

Spacious space

As stated in the online description. Location is interesting in that you are literally just off the road - but made for easy access. Blackout curtains helped with the constant light.

Great place to stay in Denali

This is a great house in a great location. Had a wonderful stay. We were fortunate enough to see Mt. Denali on a clear day. It was close to the activities such as hiking and four wheeling. Would stay here again if we ever come back.

Wow – this place is amazing!The cabin was spotless and well stocked with everything we needed – from kitchen supplies to plenty of towels. The beds were comfortable, and there was more than enough space for our family of five to spread out.The host was incredibly responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. The location is about 30 minutes from the main entrance to Denali National Park, which made for an easy day trip.One of our favorite parts was the view – we could see Denali Mountain right from the front porch! We also loved relaxing in the greenhouse on cooler days and spending time by the lake.As a bonus, we enjoyed learning about the history of the house and hearing about the host’s vision for the property’s future. Highly recommend this stay for anyone visiting the area!
