Enjoyed the short stay we had but was so happy they accepted pets! Can you believe it no major hotel, cabin or inn accepts pets in Denali! Ridiculous!! What a missed opportunity! 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! read more

Talkeetna Chalet Bed & Breakfast - Denali Suite! - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Talkeetna, Alaska

Talkeetna Chalet Friends suggested the idea of a quiet getaway 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. read more

We loved our stay at the Spruce Cabin. Perfect for 2 adults & 1 child. It was very clean, thoughtfully decorated, & had everything we needed, including homemade banana bread, which was delicious! We spoke with one of the owners, David, when we first got there & he was super friendly & gave us some good sightseeing suggestions. We would definitely stay there again. read more

If I could have a second home in Alaska, I would call it Talkeetna Chalet! Dave and Andi's hospitality is at it's finest. We stayed in Cabin #2 which was incredibly cozy. Loved the fact that it was nestled in the trees down the hill from the main lodge. Very spacious with plenty of room for our 7 & 4 year-old to spread out. It was incredibly clean and you could tell they pay attention to the details. The cabin had everything we needed with a fridge/micro kitchenette stocked with plates, bowls, cups, and silverware. The bed and even the futon was comfortable for the kiddos. Wi-Fi worked great and the little ledge table with chairs was useful for meals and an alternative work desk (if you really should ever work in Alaska). Breakfast, buffet style, was scrumptious and hearty. There were options like fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, breads, and bagels with all the right spreads. The stuffed French toast was our favorite, it was made with just the right sweetness filled with a creamy strawberry filling. Accompanied by a side of scrambled eggs and sausage made it perfect. Coffee, tea, orange juice, and milk were also provided. Needless to say, we got more than what we needed for breakfast. What sets this this location apart from everywhere else in Talkeetna is Dave and Andi, the service is top notch. Our flight delayed our arrival to the cabin from 7pm to 10pm. Dave so generously offered to run to the store and pick up a cake for my hubby's birthday. Without asking, he even picked up candles for us. In addition, Dave knew my hubby's wish was to see Mt. McKinley. Dave went out of his way to text me that the cabin was ready to go for our 10pm arrival and that the mountain was still visible. It turned out to be a perfect evening watching the sunset over McKinley at midnight. This is the only place we'll stay at when returning to Talkeetna, it was memorable and we wish we had more time to permanently live there! read more

This was our favorite place we stayed our entire weeklong trip in Alaska. Super clean accommodations, plenty of room, wonderful hospitality. We loved the banana bread in the morning and the organized way the coffee was presented with our own coffee pot. The shower was fantastic too!!! We would highly recommend this B&B. read more

We stayed in the Willows unit with our two granddaughters on our way to Denali. We all thought it was the nicest place we'd stayed so far on our trip. Girls liked being upstairs in the loft. Our bed was the most comfortable of our trip. Beautifully decorated in rustic style. Cabin was spotlessly clean. We're just sorry we're not staying another night. Really cozy cabin in the woods just a bit out of town. Perfect. read more

Stayed here for 3 nights, showers have nice pressure and hot water, breakfast is great, cozy little cabins make you feel like you are on your own, in a good way. Close to the Flying Squirrel and downtown Talkeetna. would def come back if in the area again! read more

We stayed at Dave's and Andi's b&b in mid-August and arrived to Talkeetna by train from Anchorage. What an awesome stay! Dave picked us up from the train station and gave a tour of their small rustic town. He was very kind to give us rides afterwards too, as we didn't have a car with us. Thank you, Dave! :) The house is very well appointed and the breakfast was delicious. If you're planning your trip to Alaska, make sure you visit Talkeetna and stay at this chalet! read more
