A visit to Alaska has been on my Bucket List for quite some time. Decided to come out this summer…read moreand see what all the fuss is about. Alaska is amazing! We stayed at the Hale Kolea Cabin on the recommendation of a friend. Gotta say, it's Paradise in Talkeetna. The cabin is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown Talkeetna, the Gateway to Denali. When we arrived at the Cabin, we were greeted by Naomi, the Cabin manager and contact person. She was friendly and offered a lot of helpful information. The Cabin itself is a year old and beautifully appointed with Hawaiian touches. We liked the open concept layout and modern conveniences. The Cabin is nicer than my house! The kitchen is fully equipped with SS appliances, cookware, dishes, etc. It has everything a cook could need...even spices and oils. We enjoyed quite a few great meals right here at the Cabin. It rained quite a bit during our stay so we appreciated the WiFi and Netflix connections. On those chilly nights, the cabins heater quickly warmed the space and kept it toasty. The beds are SO comfortable, it was tough to get up and get moving in the morning. The river rock shower a nice touch...bringing the outdoors in. There's even a washer and dryer for those on a longer holiday. I'd say the owners of Hale Kolea Cabin did a great job setting up the space. I'm glad it's available for rental and would stay here again in the future. I'm sure you'll enjoy your holiday too!

While my stay started off well, it quickly deteriorated. 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.

Each rental is unique, so be sure to carefully review before renting- some are yurts, some are cabins, some are units in a house- but they're all ADORABLE! The campus is very comfy, with several fire pits, BBQs, a cedar sauna, string lights, bird feeders and art work. There's song birds everywhere- it's very ALASKAN. if you're not from here and you want a taste of local, but with all the comforts of home (wifi, TV, warm water, heat, etc) I recommend this over other motel/hotel options. The towels and sheets may not match, but you'll be comfortable, have access to pots and pans, access to bikes, be within walking distance to downtown, and be able to sit in under the forest canopy or in the sauna at night after a busy day. Will definitely return here, probably this winter when there are less tourists around and there's an off season discount.

The lodge was built and designed by Bob, Debbie's lovely rustic furnitures, crafts and drawings are placed around and inside the lodge.

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.

We were initially told that cats were allowed, but when we later tried to confirm and move forward, we were told otherwise. This contradiction created unnecessary stress and made planning extremely difficult. I strongly recommend getting everything in writing and not relying on verbal confirmations. As someone in the military, stability and clear communication are especially important when it comes to housing. Unfortunately, that consistency wasn't there, which made the situation more difficult than it needed to be. Toward the end of the lease, we received a non-renewal notice without any explanation, despite following the lease terms. While they may not be required to give a reason, the lack of transparency reflects poorly on how tenant relationships are handled. Move-out expectations are very strict, including mandatory professional carpet cleaning and specific vendor restrictions, which can add unexpected costs if you're not fully prepared. The property itself was okay, but the overall experience with management was disappointing. Between the inconsistent policies and communication issues, I would be cautious about renting through them and would advise future tenants to document everything carefully.
