Located a mile off the Parks Highway in a secluded area near the town of Healy, the Aspen Haus B&B is surrounded by the beautiful Alaskan wilderness. The huge two-bedroom Alder cabin can sleep a family of six on two queen beds and two twin beds. It has a large dining table so everyone can pull up a chair for meals, including the free continental breakfast that is stocked in your room each night. Your cabin contains a small kitchenette, with refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker and toaster, so light meals are easy to prepare. Most of all, your family will enjoy the quiet away from the crowds that can clog up the entrance to Denali National Park.
That entrance is a short 20-minute drive to the south, where you’ll also find a wide variety of shops and restaurants. At the park’s Visitor Center, you can join a wildlife bus tour, go on a ranger-led hike, or watch a free sled dog demonstration. Your B&B hosts know the area and can recommend the best tours and activities for your family, whether it’s a rafting trip down the Nenana River, or a flight-seeing trip over a glacier. On the way back from the park, be sure to stop in at the 49th State Brewing Company in Healy for the best burgers and ribs in the area. With its warm hospitality and quiet solitude, the Aspen Haus B&B is just the place to make your Denali family vacation a memorable one.
