    The woman who manages the accommodation is excellent: friendly, helpful, helps with anything you need, cooks food for guests to eat. The house is also excellent: it has everything you can imagine so that if you want you won't leave the house...

    We enjoyed our one night stay. Cynthia was very flexible and kind host. 1/2 hour from Denali. Would stay again

    Wonderful owner! It's actually her house she rents. It felt I was at home. It has all the needed things, wifi was working perfectly. You might be afraid to see that you're right by train tracks. Never heard anything at night. The line is probably...

Once an original homestead , and a personal home , our B & B is open year round to offer a friendly comfortable home away from home, The Runway house is located right next to a outback runway , we have airplane tie downs on site for those who wish to fly themsleves to peace and quiet , , a babbling brook is a short walk away. Summer or winter we have a stunning 360 degree view of the Alaska mountains & you can view Mt. McKinley a short distance away. The back side of Denali National Park is a short 7 hiking miles from the house or the Main entrance to the park can be reached by car just 27 miles north on the Parks highway. You may also have an opportunity to view, from the Runway House, The Alaska Railroad. as it travels loaded with freight cars or passengers visiting our largest national park ,
I have lived in Cantwell for 54 years, my husband since 1990. My family originally came to the area in 1958 & lived in the "bush" for many years. My father was a registered guide & outfitter. My brother still flies one of his airplanes & lives in Alaska. We enjoy every season, love to snowmachine every winter & love living here. My family also owns Cantwell Lodge across the runway. It has a small bar & food.
In this area folks enjoy hiking, berry picking, cross country skiing, snowmachining & enjoying the peace & quiet. Our B & B is open year round , so depending on your preferences to winter or summer , you can always enjoy our quirky Alaskan Charm and feel right at home. Dog Gone It sled dog tours are 3/4 of a mile up the road, Atkins Flying Service is our neighbor & the Denali Highway is our driveway, Denali National Park is 27 miles north of us & has lots of activities May through September . Our beagle, Daisy, enjoys visiting & a little snack every now & then.
