However we weren't too disappointed as we saw Denali the day before on a beautiful clear day while on the road. We stayed in a building below the main lodge. A very short walk. Had to kill two mosquitoes in our room. Talkeetna is actually closer to Denali than Denali Park Village. The property is very nice but our stay very brief. As with Denali Park Village, there's a Northern Lights notification system you can participate in with the front desk. Alas no such luck for us that night. There's a coffee bar and a sit down restaurant. A massive fireplace anchors the hotel lobby. We ate at the Bistro at the lodge twice - dinner and breakfast as our time was brief. There's a hotel courtesy shuttle into town. The last one at 9:45pm. On display is an Alaskan brown bear shot by a 10 year old.

The lodge itself is beautiful with a big open entry with a stone fireplace. There is plenty of seating so you can enjoy the view, warm up by the fire or play games at a table with friends and family. There are water refilling stations, ice machines, laundry machines. We enjoyed the trails around the lodge, which were well maintained. We took advantage of the free shuttle to town that arrives every 30 minutes. The rooms are fine. The couch was pretty torn up and there is no air conditioning- which we didn't need in September. The train does come through around 4:40 AM and wakes you up. Service is friendly enough but nothing special. Food options are decent. We really liked the halibut Reuben at the restaurant.

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.

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.

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.

I was under the impression that we were…read morebooking a hotel-like room; however, the owner had the freedom to enter my room while I was in bed and spoke to me in a condescending manner. This behavior is entirely unacceptable. If there are specific rules, they should be clearly posted or communicated to guests in advance. If children are not welcome, this should be explicitly stated in the advertisement. Under no circumstances should anyone walk into a guest's room uninvited, especially while they are in their pajamas, and criticize their parenting. My son was not being loud while warming up his food, even though it was late. Considering it's summer break and the sun stays up longer, it's unreasonable to expect children to follow a strict bedtime. I wish you all the best with your business, but I cannot recommend this place to anyone, life is too short to deal with this kind of non-sense. Avoid ruining your vacation with such an experience.
