About this property

Oakley Inn, 3 bedroom 2 bath, sleeps 8

Our cabin in the woods sits in a hilly forest only 7 minutes from downtown Talkeetna. We have an old trail going right thru our property, meaning you don't have to drive anywhere to enjoy miles and miles of fat tire biking, running, hiking, or viewing the aurora borealis. If you want miles of groomed cross country ski trails, the Talkeetna Lakes Park is a mile away and good for a whole trip's worth of fun. Our full kitchen means you don't have to go out, but a vacation to Talkeetna wouldn't be complete without hitting some of our restaurants, brewery, and pubs. And we're happy to inform you that Talkeetna now has a bike and ski rental shop, Talkeetna Gear Shop. We have some serious winter bike trails, too. It's still a secret that we have great cross country ski trails. So if you want a quiet town with plenty of activity in the winter, head this way. If you're coming in the summer, see how many of our local lakes you can swim in (at least 8 for us this year).

Quiet Retreat

This home, while located near other residences, is very quiet. You can hear the wildlife that is nearby and off in a distant location.2 bedrooms are located on the second floor. The 3rd bedroom is a loft with a ladder that you access from the 2nd floor. One bathroom is on the main floor while the other is on the second floor. There isn't a dishwasher but they do provide liquid dishwasher detergent for cleaning.Deck is not accessible during the Winter months due to snow.

Talkeetna Vacation

This was our first trip to Alaska. Admittedly, we were probably not prepared for the rustic home environment.That being said, if you are ready for a real, out-in-the-woodscabin type experience, this setting will be perfect.The location was easy to find with Google Maps and entry to the house was easy. It's a short drive to Talkeetna.There are 2 sets of bunks. One requires climbing a ladder into a loft area. Both top bunks are very close to the ceilingand requires some awareness to avoid hitting one's head when getting up during the night.Tim, the host, was quick to respond and offer assistance when contacted.

Lovely home on a gorgeous wooded setting.

The house was lovely and well-equipped. The outlook into trees was gorgeous. Communication was excellent. The ladder to the loft bedroom is worth mentioning. It worked, but was a surprise. We would stay here again.

Quiet Stay

Found this house on VRBO, and it was just as it was described.. Cute, peaceful, very clean close to a fishing lake, which we caught rainbow trout, and we were fortunate enough to have a meal for 6 Adults. It also was very close to town, which was very cute.. The only thing I suggest if there are older adults there is a ladder to climb for the upper loft.. So the younger of our couples climbed the ladder.. Kids would love it!! Other than that very nice stay.. Thank you, The Wisconsin Group 💚💛💚

Nice cabin, quiet location

We only stayed one night at this cabin, but we found it well stocked, comfortable, and quiet. We especially liked the rustic decor. The owner was very responsive and helpful to an unexpected situation we encountered. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Talkeetna and Denali Region

This home is wonderful and fits the description nicely. The design is fun and perfect for our family. We enjoyed the mountain life style with easy access to Talkeetna and a short drive to Denali State Park(1hour). Good show!

Absolutely gorgeous cabin style home. Private, tons of windows and avalanche of charm. From the dark wood to the stones by the wood fireplace and the huge picture windows, this house is a winner.

Good location and spacious for groups

It was -20 in Talkeetna so we were very grateful for the nice wood stove and spacious living space to hang out. Also we found a trail that led to a frozen lake nearby. Would stay again for sure

Nice Winter Get-Away

We booked this property to experience a little Alaskan winter, and it was a great stay. Everything was as advertised, and there was plenty of wood for the wood stove (a fireplace was one of our must-haves). We had plenty of snow (12 inches one of the days), but the driveway was plowed twice during our stay, so we had no problems getting in and out. One of the site pictures of the main room did not show any seating, except for a dining table, but we were pleased to find there actually was great seating to enjoy the fireplace. One minor issue was the TV was not in the main room with the fireplace, but upstairs in another seating room. Not a big issue since we ended up watching movies on a laptop while enjoying the fireplace. I highly recommend this property.

Graduation

We had a brief stay at your property, quite enjoyable. We even saw a mom and babe moose while coming to the property. My nephews both graduated from college this last year, so I invited them along with me to see Alaska while we could! Thank you for offering your property for folks like us? Yes, I’d stay there again!!

Cozy little memories

We stayed at this property for only one night, but it was enough to make us feel like we should have stayed longer. Clean, cute, cozy, super comfortable. The layout of the house is fantastic and the rooms are super great. Beds very comfortable. They have everything you need to make your gateway a success! Super close to Talkeetna and also great hikes nearby. I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back again soon!
