This tiny shop has items that are only made in Alaska. From the first moment I stepped in, I was…read moregreeted by the owner. We struck up a quick and friendly conversation. It's not a large shop, but there were still some nice items, even though some of the other stuff (birch and blueberry syrup, fireweed honey, teas) you can find at other shops as well. Still, there were a lot of unique gifts. It's worth a step in, even to just say hi or find something that catches your eye.

Not your usual Talkeetna tourist trap!…read more These are all quality goods: wool, shells, down, etc. Rather than cheesy T-shirts, the clothing in here is more "rugged casual wear". Stuff you that looks just as at home in the bar as it does on the trail. Prana, Patagonia, stuff like that. Selection seems to cater more to women than men, but maybe that's just my own bias? Store clerk was friendly and knowledgeable. Be sure to check out the 50% off racks, great way to get some serious deals!

It was a rainy day on the rustic streets of Old TKA. I was a mess- Mosquitoes had rendered me a…read morepint short of plasma, my sandals were divorcing from their sole-mates, and i was in dire need of a drink, a date & some gifts to send back home. After a few drinks at the nearby Fairview, and a few failed attempts at dates, I stumbled down Main St. towards the river. Before I hit the end of the 'main drag', I noticed a shop with appealing decor and great energy on the right hand side of the road. Upon entering, I am immediately struck by the excellent layout & display of the items within this cozy, log-cabin boutique. Once inside & browsing, I found myself surrounded with hand made items, hats, stylish gear, warm socks, kids clothes, indie artwork sweatshirts, survival necessities, reggae music playing, and most important of all, Mosquito repellent! The gentleman running the store, was a strapping young 29-year old Caucasian Rastafarian. He immediately directed me to a new pair of sandals, with much to my delight, a built in bottle opener in the sole! I was able to get a wide array of gifts for a myriad of friends and family from this unique shop! I even purchased a Water bottle donning their great logo, that happened to 'Glow in the Dark', for easy locating on those long nights sleeping on the banks of the Susitna River! Although their motto should be "finest selection of hipster trucker hats in the Mat-Su Borough", they carry a grand selection of stylish apparel & accessories for Men & Women, as well as Gear, gifts, and necessities for life 'in the bush', on your pilgrimage to "Into the Wild" dude's Bus! Overall, if you are in Talkeetna, stop into this cute, stylish little boutique, you're guaranteed to find a great gift, or something you absolutely need & can't live without!

Spend $10 and take a tour of their facility and learn about birch sap and the syrup making process! You will get to do a tasting of various syrups including their special reserve.

A must stop for any Alaskan and tourist.

Y'know what? It's hardware store…read more It's owned by "True Value", much like just about every little hardware store these days. Why am I writing a boring 3-star review for it? It's apparently the ONLY PLACE IN THE TOWN OF TALKEETNA WITH BEAR SPRAY! Why this is? I have no idea. Not sure if it's just because it's early season of it the residents of Talkeetna would rather yell at Balou than given him a good dose of spiciness.

They have some LEGIT stuff that I haven't seen in EONS... fabrics and patterns that I wore in the 70's and 80's... it was mind blowing. They even had stuff from the 50's and 60's.
