Only one other couple was there at the time. Full kitchen stocked with snacks and coffee. Comfy couches to relax on after a day of cross country skiing. This place was AWESOME and I bet is a fun time in the summer when it's full of travelers. Very hostil vibes. If you're looking for comfort and amenities, this Inn is your place. Close to town as well.

Even worse, we stored the salmon we caught in their freezer and were told the office would be open at 7 AM so we could pick it up before leaving. The office was closed, and we never got our fish. This was the main reason for our trip to Alaska, and it was completely ruined. Would not stay here again.

They offer boat rental and cabin's as well. This place is dog friendly The only negative is that their sites to have have water and power on the site it self. But the greatness totally outweighs that issue. I had a really good sleep from the main road. I found this site by chance. When I'm driving and get tired I have been pulling into any place or random spots. In Alaska you are allowed to came anywhere at anytime. Really great state. Very cozy and quite. The local ranger on staff was super nice guy. He showed me how to drain the tanks and guided me around the area. Even suggest some places to stop and take photos of. Yes, camp here if your looking for campgrounds to review.

Great hut for the winter! Approach is really short (though not necessarily straight forward) and…read morethe views are really great (or so I'm told). You could sleep a lot of people in here, although we had 3 and a dog. The main window faces Denali and you can take the quintessential "Denali framed by window" shot for your adoring Instagram followers. The day I was there, "The High One" was socked in with clouds, so I missed the opportunity. I did, however, witness a pretty decent Northern Lights show while warming at a fire atop frozen Byers Lake! I've heard this place can be pretty buggy in the summer, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. Besides, shouldn't you be camping?!

"Oh, if I could talk to the animals, And learn their…read morelanguages just imagine it" (Sammy Davis) When you have a tour guide that talks to squirrels, chipmunks, and loons, and can rattle off facts about just about every plant, bush, berry, leaf, and tree on the trail, you know you are in the company of someone very special. Words do not exist for me to explain how awesome our guide Cadia was. Her love and devotion to nature was something to behold. She was almost evangelical in her zeal for the outdoors. We were so fortunate to have Cadia as our guide for a Byers Lake Nature Walk. Every minute in her company was pure joy as we pulled off to the side of the road to see a majestic moose, learned about the edible berries and leaves around the lake, and learned about and listened to the cries of the loon among other gems. Cadia gave our tour some added value by taking us to a few Denali Mountain viewing platforms. She was one of the very best tour guides I have ever had.

We all loved the cozy cabin and will highly recommend. We were in the Denali Room! It was cute and just had that Alaska Feel so welcoming! My texts with the manager pre-arrival with directions and entry instructions were clear and perfect. Didn't have to worry or fret - it was easy peasy! We didn't get to our room till 12:30 am. The welcome sign chalk board with our last Name led the way! Comfortable bed, beautiful room, dog/pet friendly, Small fridge, it was pretty picture perfect! Coffee pods in a Keurig ready for wake up! OH Did I mention the Homemade Banana Bread? SO GOOD! So I went to a client business meeting at Denali State Park and was so disappointed we couldn't bring our four legged friend to stay there. We had to do the meeting and then had to drive 2 hours+ to get half way home but stay close enough to get back to Denali. We wish we had more time to hang around but again this was perfect for the 2 day 1 overnight trip and we would do this again! Talkeetna you have a gem of a place! Thanks all that did what you did!

Talkeetna Chalet Friends suggested the idea of a quiet…read moregetaway in a part of Alaska we hadn't explored yet. We weren't sure we would join them as most cabins are pricey. We learned only a portion of the payment is taken at booking, and the rest is charged the day before check-in. This was not something we remember reading anywhere before the booking process. It would have made us more likely to book when someone suggested these cabins a year ago, knowing the total cost isn't due immediately. Affordability is always a draw! We had a nice weekend, though we were hardly in the cabin during our stay, so it was a fairly neutral experience overall--pros and cons to follow. Pros: **Minutes away from Talkeetna proper. **Military discount. **WiFi. **Plenty of outlets for charging devices. **Pets allowed (though we don't currently have any) @ +$25 per pet. **The cabin is small but uncomplicated; ideal for 2-4 people. **There was a cute personalized welcome sign by the front door upon arrival. **There was a lovely patio set for two that would be fun to enjoy if the weather accommodated. **It was beautifully quiet. (Minus the occasional train horn and the sounds of vehicle doors belonging to other guests at nearby cabins.) **The heat worked well **Open closet/storage shelf and stowaway luggage rack +4 hangers. **Comfortable queen-sized bed with soft sheets and a futon for sitting/extra sleep space. **Kitchenette with mini fridge, microwave, electric kettle, Keurig coffeemaker, and drink options provided for each. Some dishware was also available for use, and a 2-seater bar/eating space. **A nice full bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower and a plethora of towels, as well as a towel warming rack and space heater. The shower also contained a dispenser with shampoo, conditioner, and liquid soap. (Brand labels would be valuable for anyone with sensitive skin/allergies.) Cons: **Dust bunnies on the ceiling beams and cobwebs stretched between track lighting and the ceiling. We avoided using the ceiling fan for fear of displacing more dust when our allergies were already flaring. Dust lined the bottom shelf of the storage space and luggage rack. There was also a dried-up contact lens adhered to one of the bedside tables. **One of the open closet/storage shelves was loose, resting on the bottom one, so we lost a little storage space. We also wished there were more hangers for coats and sweaters. **Excessive pillows and area rugs/mats. We brought our pillows, so managing the 8 pillows on the bed, +futon pillows, felt like an imposition. There was also some sort of stain (oily in appearance?) on the sheets. We tucked away 2 of the more decorative mats during our stay (after slipping on one) because they were hazardous vs. practical without a slip-proof pad underneath. **There was more dust and web strings on the bathroom nightlight. We were excited by the luxurious towel warming rack, but it is mounted so low it seemed dangerous to put wet towels on as they'd rest right on the plugs. Using anything lower than the top rung caused the towel to sit on the floor. **Cabin kitsch. No disrespect intended, as everyone has their style, but this was a little overwhelming, particularly the number of wall hangings and patterns. It detracted from the cabin's existing charm and architecture. To reiterate, it was a nice weekend, though we were hardly in the cabin during our stay, so it was a fairly neutral experience overall.
