About Wildthingz Dog Mushing
We are a professional sled dog kennel that runs a summer tour operation, as well as hosts overnight guest in clamping rental accommodations. We are located just 30 minutes south of the famed Denali National Park & Preserve, right off the Parks highway in the quaint village of Cantwell. We are in a very accessible location that is perfect for those searching for a stay close to the National Park and other local attractions, but far from the crowded tourist areas near the entrance of Denali. You will need your own vehicle to access our property and get to any nearby attractions, trails, restaurants etc. At our property you will have the unique opportunity to stay with a real team of sled dogs and book a discounted tour if you want. Your accommodations are cozy, yet rustic, private and peaceful. We are off a gravel road and a short walk to the Jack River or up to the tundra. We are off-grid so all of our power is generated by generator or solar, and the tent will have a small solar charger for cell phones & tablets, but no large voltage electronics. We haul all of our water either from the river, a local spring or the gas station so we ask those staying with us are conscious and willing to limit their consumption of water here. We are in bear country, so while our sled dogs act as very good bear deterrent, we still ask people to be smart when walking around the area or storing food. Please be respectful of wildlife and keep a safe distance, make lots of noise when hiking. There is good AT&T and verizon reception here, but we do not offer wifi connectivity so take the opportunity to read a book and disconnect for a bit. We live on the property and will be able to help from 8 am to 10 pm, so contact us with questions or concerns. We hope you'll join us for a stay, surrounded by gorgeous views that you won't forget!

Absolutely loved my stay here. The tent was SO cozy and cute. Emily and Richie are super knowledgeable and accommodating! Because we stayed with them, we got a discounted rate on their summer dog powered ATV tour. Emily also so kindly went overtime to answer all our questions and then gifted us with some freshly chopped firewood!! Their dogs are SO SO SO friendly and beautiful as well. Would love to come back one day.
We highly recommend staying here if you want an Alaskan outback experience with comfort. The view is absolutely beautiful along with the wildlife.
The dog mushing camp was exactly what we were hoping for. Emily and Richie did an amazing job with communication and furnishing a peaceful and unique stay. Don’t pass this one up!
We had a great experience! The tent was equipped with everything we could possibly need and it was amazing to experience the remoteness of the area. We even saw a moose on the property! Would definitely stay again.
Gorgeous, peaceful property with stunning views, comfy blankets, cozy ambience, and sweet wolf dogs. Thank you for having me! I had a wonderful stay.
Moose cabin was everything we expected and more. Nice stay in extremely gorgeous surroundings, mountains, rivers, and occasional visits from furry friendly Wildthingz elders. Definitely our place to stay when visiting Denali.
