Great stay in a great location!

We stayed for one night on our way from Seward to Denali. The kids loved the hot tub. The location is perfect - walking distance to Talkeetna’s little downtown area and to K2, where we did an incredible flightseeing tour. House was clean, well organized & quiet. Always nice to have multiple bedrooms and a kitchen!

Quiet location but close enough to town to walk

Everything was exactly as described. Plenty of essentials. Comfy beds. Enjoyed an early morning hot tub dip. (Lots of mosquitos- more later in the day as it warms up). Good home base for our day trips- glacier flight, Denali park, and good adventures). The restaurants in Talkeetna offer good variety. Our favorite was the Salmon Spot followed by the Homestead and then Mountain High pizza. Lots of music venues so every evening something to enjoy.

What a wonderful home in Talkeetna Alaska. Recently I stayed in this home with my wife and two teenage sons and we had a wonderful time. The home is absolutely beautiful and it is within walking distance to downtown. I would highly recommend staying here.

Trip to Alaska

We traveled from Seward to Denali and stopped for a two night stay in Talkeetna. Beautiful property, quick response from owners, shared hot tub access & fire pit area, very clean! We were thankful for the washer and dryer since this stay landed halfway through our trip. Plenty of room for our family of four - all adults. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!! The small town is close to the property and we ate in town both nights.

Great Property, Great Hosts!

This place is fantastic. There's plenty of space for everyone in the house and a large patio outside with amenities, including a hot tub. We were hosting a retreat for college students and they were super happy. The hosts are helpful and communicative. I've already recommended it to friends.

After Christmas get-away

The property was impeccably clean and well-stocked with cooking equipment. It was a pleasant 10 minute walk into town and just a short ski from the property to nearby ski/snowmobile trails. The hot tub was so relaxing! Communication with our hosts Drew and Sarah was easy with quick responses. A stay and we hope to return in the near future.

Clean, new and lots of room!

Wished we had more time to enjoy this space. Stayed here one night and really appreciated the bed space and that everything was clean and new. Loved the green accents on everything and the thoughtful, easily laid out amenities (coffee pods, creamer in the fridge, laundry detergent). Lots of extra towels and the washer/dryer were much needed after 3 days exploring Denali. We made use of the hot tub and walked to nearby restaurants. Definitely reccomend!

We only stayed in this house one night on our way to Denali, but it had everything we needed for 6 adults. The house is super clean (brand new!) and everything was as described in the listing. The carpet is super soft too! The courtyard area between all the houses with the fire pit, table/chairs, and the hot tub is a nice touch. Would 100% stay here again!

Talkeetna stay

Property was clean and appeared to be very new. Had a bit of trouble getting into the house due to the wrong number programmed into door but that was resolved quickly. Jacuzzi was nice. A friendly cat was roaming around and came into the back door when we were not looking. Kitchen had most items but items like knives were low quality and they were missing a wine bottle opener. Property is walking distance to town, bike rentals and k2 aviation. Our 5 year old loved the room which was well stocked with children’s books. Lots of mosquitoes. The adjacent properties were still under construction as of June 30. They could use better window covers for light. Overall I thought it was a good walkable central location and very clean and new. I would stay here again.
