The room was great-the house was beautiful and well maintained. The oversized windows in the living area provided an exceptional and panoramic view. Unfortunately we were inundated with heavy rains throughout our two night stay so we never saw Mt. Denali. If you are staying in the Talkeetna area, we highly recommend booking a room here. We'd give it 10 stars if we could.

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.

The lodge was built and designed by Bob, Debbie's lovely rustic furnitures, crafts and drawings are placed around and inside the lodge. Having been living in California for too long, walking in the woods around the lodge suddenly reminded the days when I was a young student in Long Island 25 years ago, everything was green and colorful then. We really like this warm and comfortable lodge, it is like living in your friend's house. Truly envy Bob and Debbie, they are living in such a beautiful land.

She also kicked out my sister and her toddler to sit out in Denali National Park for 9 hours, even though we had already prepaid for the room.

The place down the street that is a gas station and hotel has MUCH better accommodations and MUCH friendlier, more accommodating service!

The room was spacious, very clean, and came with lots of amenities. They had a table and chairs in the room that had an amazing view. They also had a fridge, a coffee machine in the room, creamer, a microwave (I believe), and a shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispenser in the shower. I also really like that they had a built in shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispenser rather that the sample bottles that you throw away and end up in a landfill. We unfortunately came during a heat wave about a week ago so we didn't use the hot tub or sauna, although I am sure that those staying here will enjoy them since the climate is normally much cooler and perfect for these types of things. The deck is amazing and has great views, along with lots of tables and chairs so that you can relax and take in the view! Tom and the staff were very hospitable and I highly recommend staying here. The breakfast was delicious. They had pancakes with birch syrup, bacon, and scrambled eggs. They made sure to ask if we had any allergies or dietary restrictions the night before and were very accommodating throughout our entire stay here.
