You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Great views from A Second Home in Denali, vacation rental, close to the Park!

A Second Home has four bedrooms and two and a half bedrooms, LARGE dining room with a table for all, kitchen and living room, and laundry room. Each bedroom has its own TV and there is a LARGE screen TV in the living room. Guests often mention the home has beautiful views and is spacious for families and friends to gather comfortably. It is currently listed as a favorite for 2026 with VRBO readers.

You will see more trees and mountains than people when you are here. THIS PROPERTY HAS TO BE OWNER-OCCUPIED, AS PER HOA RULES.. Owners' space is a completely separate area with a different area.

Second Home has a LARGE, private deck in the backyard that looks out on mountain views. It's the only Denali vacation rental with a completely paved driveway and parking area and two acres of quiet lawns and woodlands. It has a turn-around driveway with plenty of space for parking.

Owners are year-round Alaskans who have been hosting guests for 37 years in the Denali Area. They book rental cars and give accurate tour desk information. They offer free transfers to and from the Denali Depot if you book a rental car AND reserve train tickets through them.. If you are confused about tours and transit buses and attraction in the Park, ask your hosts. They have accurate and timely information based on personal experience.

They have up-to-date information about Denali National Park, the area and the state. Their tips will save you money and time. Example: be sure to take the East Fork Transit Bus for $33.50 (2025 prices) instead of the Tundra Wilderness Tour for $144.50. The transit bus is narrated too. Please ask if you have Denali questions. Service is an important part of their offerings.

Our stay at Second Home in Denali was exceptional!

Ann proactively shared useful tips before our arrival. She personally greeted us and showed off the house. The space was spotless, the bedrooms spacious, the kitchen was well-equipped. Stunning views and a memorable visit from a mother moose and her two calves made our stay unforgettable. Thank you, Ann!

Eight friends traveled to Alaska for the trip of a lifetime! We enjoyed the spaciousness and cleanliness of this property which accommodated eight adults. Ann was very responsive and helpful whenever I contacted her with questions. We all felt very comfortable at her property and especially liked that we saw a moose and baby in the backyard. We'd definitely stay there again!

Nebraska Frienda

We enjoyed this property for four couples traveling together. Bedrooms and bathrooms were adequate with comfortable beds and the house was very clean with adequate kitchen supplies. Nice laundry facilities which were was great. Ann was very prompt when correspondence when I had questions. Be prepared to purchase your own toilet paper as we had enough for only a couple of days for eight people and our stay was longer but no big deal as there is a grocery very close by. I would recommend for families and couples traveling in the Denali area.

Comfortable home in Healy near Denali national Park

Our group of six family members found this to be the perfect home base to hike in and explore Denali national park. It's only 15 minutes to the park entrance and less than a mile to the only grocery store which is Three bears alaska. We cooked most of our meals breakfast and dinner. Very pleasant eating in the dining room and enjoying the view. Everyone found the beds to be comfortable. My brother and I are very picky about beds and found the twin beds to be just about perfect. When we weren't hiking we were watching the TV show Alone. Very appropriate for both Alaska and the privacy we enjoyed in this home. Bottom line is that we will stay here again if we come back to Healy.

Beware: Second Home in Denali is not like home unless you live in a construction site.

In 20 years of VRBOs, I've never needed to file a public complaint until staying at Second Home in Denali, in Healy, Alaska. Our party of 6 rented two homes in Alaska. We chose "Second Home in Denali" because we thought it was a quiet, luxury home in a beautiful location. We did not get that. Days before arrival (after cancellation dates) I got an email that "construction is STILL going on at the apartment to the side of your rental." I wasn't sure what that meant, but since we paid 10 months prior, what to do? RENTERS BEWARE: This meant full house renovation 9 a.m. to 5/6 p.m. Weekends included. The owners are building a separate apartment inside the VRBO just beyond a locked hollow core door. We listened to air compressors, nail guns, tile saws, contractor music and conversations all week. Dust seeped under doors. When I asked Ann to come see, she asked what compensation would be fair. When we told her half of what we paid, she started avoiding us. She denied each request to pause construction. Ann reimbursed us half her profit in the end, but it's not half what we paid. She said VRBO takes too much. We are not satisfied. When she said my mother, age 79, should've napped at her house and closed the second story bathroom curtains if she didn't want construction workers looking in (they worked on all house windows), I decided to warn others. Ann and Terry were the only negative in an otherwise perfect trip of a lifetime.

Healy Vacation

The host was the best. She offered to help with reservations and saved us a significant amount of money on our Denali bus adventure, on which, by the way, we saw most of Denali. The house was very attractive, with lots of acreage, and it was very well-appointed. We were very pleased with the entire experience. Highly recommended!
