About this property

A lovely small home in the quaint town of Talkeetna Alaska. I started this project hoping to retire there but as we all know, things do change. I have spent the better part of 4 years building this home and trying to make it the best around. It offers 1 bedroom with a king sized bed, a sofa sleeper for 2, full kitchen, full bath with laundry and free wi-fi. There are plenty of activities in the area including Fishing, Hunting, Sightseeing, Hiking and Biking. Talkeetna's restaurants and pubs are some of the best around including Denali Brewing which is the second largest brewery in Alaska and only a 15 minute walk away from the house.

Quiet Retreat

This rental was just what we needed, a quiet, comfortable, clean stay in Talkeetna. Convenient to nearby amenities. It's a bit of a drive as a stop before Denali, we got up very early to drive up, so something to keep in mind. The town is quaint, with a great view of the Alaska Mountain Range. I would definitely recommend this rental. The only thing really missing was that I did not find specific check-out instructions, like trash disposal, etc. unless I missed it. Great property, great location!!

Séjour agréable dans ce joli chalet bien confortable et situé au calme ! Accès facile, communication impeccable, à recommander ! Points d'amélioration : peut-être nettoyer/ranger les extérieurs et ajouter casseroles/couverts à la cuisine ...

Clean, cute, great location!

Only stayed for one night, but would stay again in a heartbeat. Unit was clean, new, beautiful! Enough space for four people, easy. Bathroom was large. Bedroom has a king bed. Couch has a pull out bed and so does the ottoman. That was a nice touch as two of the guests could sleep separately. It was only a 15-20 minute walk to downtown Talkeetna (we're slow walkers!). One of my friend's left her make up bag at the unit. The owner promptly contacted me to try to arrange to get it back which I thought was above and beyond. Overall, would stay here again!!

Stopover at Talkeetna

Jared’s immaculate and comfortable home was the perfect stopping point for us on our way to Denali. His house was easy to find. Didn’t have time to explore Talkeetna but looks fun.

Great place to crash

This was a great cabin for a couple or small family, just close enough to town and far enough out to be quiet.

Great stay

Probably the nicest VRBO I’ve stayed in. Clean and extremely well stocked. They thought of everything! Full kitchen was super convenient, bathroom was great. Plenty of linens. Bonus pullout bed in the ottoman which we didn’t discover until our last day. Would stay here again if we come back to Talkeetna. Recommend Sheldon Air for Denali flight and Mile High Pizza, Burger Barn, Conscious Coffee, and Candy Breakfast for eating.

Great stay in Talkeetna

Loved our stay here. Property is clean and has everything you might need. There is a king bed in the bedroom. It also has a queen sized and a twin sized sleeper sofa available for extra guests and plenty of extra linens. Blackout shades in all areas. Cannot think of anything else this place would need. There is even pump hand soaps at all sinks. Great stay!

Lovely cabin in Talkeetna, AK

We enjoyed our stay in the wonderful cabin in Talkeenta. It was very well appointed and comfortable. It was very conveniently located to quaint downtown Talkeetna. The owner, Jared, was quick to answer any questions and was very helpful. If we are ever in Talkeetna, AK we will definitely stay here again!

Great cabin and location!

Cabin was clean and good sized. We walked to to town for dinner and live music. Our two teens enjoyed not having to share a bed (pull out couch and hide a bed ottoman in living room). Private location in the woods. Will book again in the future!

What a perfect cabin for our short stay in Talkeetna. The cabin was absolutely spotless and all the amenities you could ask for were there. The cabin itself was so cozy and homey. Wish we could of stayed a little longer.

A lovely cabin with plenty of space

This place was great with all the amenities we were looking for. Well stocked kitchen and clean, spacious rooms. We were comfortable the whole time. Bed was comfy and the shower water pressure was better than at home! Highly recommend.

Outstanding property

This property is our favorite of all of the bookings we've had. It's extremely comfortable, we appreciated the spacious living room and great mattress. The house is immaculate and the appliances are new. We were very grateful for the use of a washer and dryer. It's well located and it's easy to get into town or head back out to Route 3. We recommend this property without hesitation.

Perfect location

We spent 3 night and loved it! The cabin is even better in person. So nice, clean and well stocked. Even has a washer/dryer. The king size bed is comfortable and the blinds block out the near constant light (for this time of year). Great place to stay to be close to Denali and to Anchorage. The town of Talkeetna is full of great food, shops and things to do. Jared was great and always responsive to my question. I would come back here for sure!
