Clean, comfortable, great hosts, excellent wifi connection.
Excellent stay here during our trip, so close to the park and excellent amenities. The room was cozy for 2 with thoughtful design and decorations. The host greeted us during checkin to welcome. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We loved our stay! Will stay here again in future
This studio apartment is compact but nicely furnished with essential amenities for travelers visiting Denali. We were able to make a full breakfast in the kitchen before heading out for a long day of hike and tour. The in-unit washer/dryer was greatly appreciated to get clothes cleaned after many sweaty and dusty activities including a fun ATV ride
Perfect distance to Denali and one of the nicest places we stayed on our trip. Todd greeted us and offered suggestions for hiking and seeing the Mountain. We plan to come back to see Denali and would want to stay here again!
This studio was perfect for my husband and I. The location was close to Denali National Park where we had a great time exploring.
The studio was well equipped, and even included a washer and dryer which was necessary after our adventure.
We would definitely stay here again if back in the area.
Clean, well-appointed and convenient studio for visiting Denali NP, just 20 minutes away. Close to groceries, restaurants, hiking, and sightseeing. The BEST apt. on our two-week trip to AK!
This lovely little studio provides a perfect, romantic get~away. Its proximity to Denali is convenient and yet it affords plenty of peace and quiet. There’s even a hiking trail on the property! Julie and Todd were gracious hosts and the studio was perfectly appointed. Would definitely recommend!
I highly recommend this lodging. It was clean, had everything we needed and a great location. Hosts were wonderful. They even called to us to see a moose in the yard. Made my day. Perfect place.

The best thing about The Taiga 2 is the setting-gorgeous views and quiet yard to enjoy. The cozy little studio looked brand new, super clean and pleasantly decorated. Two big window to let view in with black out curtains for sleep. Table and chairs and mini kitchen w stove are nice! Comfortable snug little spot perfect for visiting denali and still having a quiet cozy place to stay out of the bustle.
Stayed 3 nights. Nice and quiet, very clean. The top of the line appliances all look brand new and the shower is fabulous. Nice warm, quiet, reliable Toyo heat kept the temperature exactly where I set it with no fluctuations. Todd and Julie are wonderful hosts, swapped a couple stories with Todd. I'll definitely be staying there again when I'm in the neighborhood.
Our stay at Taiga 2 was exceptional! It is a very comfortable, clean, well appointed studio apartment that has every thing that you could need! Full kitchen, laundry, coffee maker and lots of extras. Todd greeted us upon our arrival and was as friendly and helpful as could be. After a moose-less day, we came “home” to Taiga 2 and Bullwinkle wandered by about 30 minutes later!
We loved this little studio apt for the time we spent exploring Denali! Everything was as expected from check in (very easy) to the cleanliness of the unit. It was about a 12 minute drive to the entrance of the park which was also away from the "hustle" of Denali village. We loved the peaceful vibe and the ability to make a few meals at "home". The bed was super comfortable which made it easy to sleep in. If your looking for a place to stay while in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to book this place. Todd and Julie, thank you for creating a place for visitors to get a taste of living in AK.
My spouse and I were looking for a "landing pad" for our trip to Denali NP. This studio apartment was perfect -- exceedingly well equipped, beautiful views out the windows and we managed to have time to sit outside and watch the sun set a night or two after spending the day exploring the park. It's near an IGA/hardware store and there's a sweet path through the woods behind the house I walked each morning after my first cup of coffee. It's about a 15 min drive to Denali visitor center. Everything was perfect.
Denali was closed due to a wildfire but the Taiga 2, Studio Apartment and Julie and Todd made the trip worth it! The studio is amazing - well thought out and great use of all the space. The beautiful and space saving furniture and appliances make it feel bigger than the pictures. Julie and Todd were great, giving us lots of recommendations for hikes, local activities and resources, including the walking trail on their property. Their dogs are mellow and sweet. Thank you for everything!

We enjoyed our stay in this thoughtfully planned studio. While small, it had everything we needed for cooking and laundry and a comfortable bed to sleep in. The furnishings were up to date and the local artwork was aesthetically pleasing. The shower was big for a small space and the water was always hot. The bbq, just outside the door, was convenient and in top condition. The hosts were friendly and responsive to any questions we had. The houses in the neighborhood are spaced a good distance apart and we had a nice outdoor sitting area outside with lots of trees and an occasional moose sighting. A really great place to stay if your are visiting Denali.
My husband and I really appreciated the quiet time with nature we experienced here. This cozy, clean studio apartment overlooks a field of spruce trees and is filled with birdsong. The studio was well equipped with kitchen appliances and cookware and the bathroom also had extra shampoo, towels, etc.. We appreciated the extra bug and bear spray too that was on hand as well as a washer/dryer. The unit is conveniently located to several restaurants and is about a :20 drive to the entrance of Denali National Park. The bed was comfortable and provided for an easy night’s rest.
The studio rental was amazing! It was clean, well put-together, and had a lot to offer for a small space. We knew we were in the right place when we were greeted by two happy dogs as we pulled in the property. Awesome to have a kitchen, washer/dryer for after a day on trails, awesome relaxing shower, and super comfy bed. Close to town and Denali for the day trips. Felt very private even though it's attached to other units. Owners stopped in to check in, but left us to ourselves - and made sure we knew that they were there if we needed anything. Well worth the cost, and a beautiful property. Walking trail in the back was a great bonus. Stay here - you'll love it!

Our studio rental was spotless and conveniently located—just a 20-minute drive from the Denali Park entrance. With a grocery store and 49th State Brewing Co. only a couple of miles away, the location couldn’t have been better. The hosts were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, which made everything smooth.
The studio was located beneath another rental unit, which unfortunately meant we heard quite a bit of noise from above. Footsteps and movement on the stairs were frequent, especially during the early morning and late evening hours, and they often woke me up. While the space itself was clean and well-located, the sound carried more than expected, making restful sleep a bit of a challenge.
That said, the space is quite compact. The internet was hit-or-miss, and despite the cool temps outside (in the 60s), the interior felt surprisingly warm. We ended up turning off the heat and cracking a window to cool things down. Still, it served as a solid home base for our Denali adventures.
