Rustic Moose Cabin Getaway

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.

cozy cabin
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.

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

Can't wait to go back!
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!

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.

A quiet getaway
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.

Awesome Cabin!
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!
