About this property

Red Sled Lakefront Cabin

A great home base for taking advantage of all Talkeetna has to offer, or as a quiet retreat from the world in your own private environment. The “Red Sled” is perfect for sharing with others or for a family, with a new queen bed on the main floor along with the bathroom, and a second queen plus a twin in the loft bedroom which is open to main floor below. Lake views abound everywhere in your cabin, or step out onto the spacious covered front porch to take in the sounds of nature while enjoying the lake. Summer or winter, listen to the loons or catch a midnight view of the aurora borealis, the Red Sled offers a private lakefront retreat in the woods year-round.

Take advantage of the fully-equipped kitchen including full-size range/oven and refrigerator, grill out in summer, or sample the restaurants in the area. You’ll have access to a washer and dryer, smart TV and wi-fi; dogs are allowed with prior approval from the host. There’s ample parking along with maximum privacy found at the end of a curved birch-lined driveway.

Gather around the campfire after a day of hiking or fishing in summer); enjoy a ski, skate, snowshoe, or kicksled in winter. The area has a variety of trails (groomed in winter) and lots of options for outdoor activities summer or winter. There’s even a unique playground for children and a covered ice rink near downtown Talkeetna. Of course you’ll find a complimentary “Red Sled” for you to use – a kicksled in winter, a rocker sled on the porch in summer!

The Red Sled is conveniently located just a mile off Talkeetna Spur Road for easy access but with the quiet that only being far enough removed from traffic can bring. In the immediate area are Denali Brewing’s Tasting Room (with wood-fired pizza and fresh salads), Cubby’s Grocery (3 miles), and Moore’s Hardware (which carries much more than hardware!). Downtown Talkeetna is just 10 miles away – an easy drive for shopping, dining, flightseeing, fishing, attending events and other activities.

Make some memories with your friends or family at the Red Sled!

Comfy lakeside cabin near Talkeetna
We enjoyed staying in this warm and cozy cabin in the woods on a lake near Talkeetna. It was very clean and well-stocked, and the host provided lots of helpful information about the area. It was fun to see the loon parents in the lake fishing for the young loon.

Great place to stay
Very clean with comfortable beds. Great property on a lake. We got to watch beavers and loons. The owner was awesome and let us switch weekends due to medical appointments. That was greatly appreciated! Our family got to have a quiet weekend to unwind. Took a flight to Denali with K2 Aviation which is a must while in Talkeetna. Will stay again.

Cozy Cabin in the Woods
We spent the first few days of the new year at the Red Sled cabin. It was cozy and clean, with a nice view of the lake. A great place to hang out and play games.

Oosik weekend getaway
We had the best time staying at the red sled property. It was so cozy, well stocked, and a great quiet location. The only thing that made it challenging for our group was not having a door on one of the bedrooms as we had a 4 year old that had an early bedtime.

Serene lake setting
Perfect. A place for my wife and I to rest and rejuvenate from our long travel to Alaska from North Carolina. Walking on the remote road around the cabin and sitting on porch and watching wildlife. Pretty darn cool.

Beautiful cabin on a quiet lake
Beautiful cabin! Very clean with lots of extras to make the stay comfortable! Only issue was the water had a very strong smell of iron - made showering and cooking a bit of a challenge. I did contact Holly, who responded that she would check her filter system the next day. Nice cabin! and that she works

Summer vacation
We stayed at Red Sled for 6 nights. The property is well maintained and met our needs while we were there. I appreciated the kitchen being stocked with the tools needed to make a variety of foods. During our stay, the host was very responsive. Our kids loved making smores at the fire pit and the lake was nice to look at. We enjoyed biking, hiking, dog sledding, ATVing, boating and more. I recommend this property!

Hidden Treasure
My second comfortable stay. Peaceful tranquility, which would only be interrupted by the call of the loons or the Sandhill Cranes and the late evening sudden cur plunking of the beaver tails on the lake. Hostess is most attentive and overflows with warm persona.

Best VRBO we have ever stayed in
The cabin was clean, and perfectly stocked with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and everything was just perfectly decorated. The welcome and information book put together from the host was very well done, very informative. Beautifully hidden in the woods on a gorgeous small lake, but not far from places we visited in the area, such as the town of Talkeetna, the Denali, Brewery, and Chubbys grocery store. It was about 2+hours from the Denali National Park entrance. We really enjoyed our visit at the Red Shed Cabin. Would highly recommend it.

Exactly what we were looking for!
We were looking for a cabin to go to that was far enough away but didn't take forever to get to from Anchorage. It fit the bill perfectly. We had a great day of snowshoeing/X-country skiing, and rang in the New Year! We had a power outage due to high winds and the owners took great care of us. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Stay!
A truly lovely cabin: clean, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, a great space! The lake and woods were beautiful and quiet; we enjoyed watching the loons and the fall leaves starting to drift down. Holly was great to work with, even when we added family at the last minute. Highly recommend this wonderful rental!!
