    If you're bringing a dog...make sure you pay for that ahead of time. Simply emailing them you're bringing a dog and them responding isn't enough. I had to drop my 8lb puppy off at a stranger's house and pay them a lot more money because a room that allowed dogs wasn't set aside as a result of me not paying that fee ahead of time. I was told the other guests are "afraid" of dogs as an excuse. And that'd been fine and dandy had not the minute I got up and stepped outside while trying to make a phone call, I wasn't run over by two 150 lb malamutes. Good thing I'm not afraid of dogs. I just don't like being lied to though. They did plug in their front porch freezer for me to put fish I was bringing back from the Kenai. Bed was comfortable. The people running it seemed nice enough. Again, a little pissy J was told my pup would scare people when they had ginormous dogs running the property.

    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!

We stayed at a garden cabin with no hot water, no shower, no toilet within. Outhouse is behind the cottage. We were warned no running water a week before arrival but running water became available by the time we arrived. A cottage has a sink, microwave oven, hot water kettle and coffee machine. A gas fireplace kept us warm at night. We selected based on walking distance from downtown where great restaurants and shops are available. Innkeeper lives nearby and we saw him always working on something. He said he is working to get hot water to this particular cottage and eventually install a shower and a toilet. He was a very hard working and nice person. He came us to pick us up from a bus stop and offered us to take to the train station (both are within a walking distance). If not taking a shower for a few days do not bother you, this is a great little place with privacy and quietness. I even spotted moose twice from a safe distance! I felt like it was a true Alaskan experience for studying a cottage like this.

Trisha and Rocket are super friendly and were actively engaged with us from the beginning of our reservation experience, and sent a series of recommendations for restaurants, activities, and attractions that would be open during a time of year that sees only a small amount of visitors.. but still has a fun and active pulse from all the amazing locals. We'll definitely be back!

    Being rigid, unyielding, and questionable with tenant housing rights is probably a coping mechanism…read morefor staying in the rental property business. I don't hold the first two points against Todd O'Banion as I have no desire to run a rental enterprise and I empathize with the many terrible tenants he may have to handle. But I am chagrined by the ethics of using tenant ignorance to one's advantage. My experience is that his attitude and management techniques do not translate well to tenants. While his preference is military personnel, O'Banion will rent to the muggles who also call Anchorage (most of the rentals) and The Valley (less of the rentals) their home. My advice for all renters/tenants is as follows: - - Know your leasing and renter rights under Alaska Law and do not be wary of using those laws to challenge statements that Todd or his employees tell you. - - Carefully read your rental agreement. It wouldn't be a bad idea to review the agreement with a lawyer, first, as you may have to deal with a lawyer, later. Pay extra close attention to the clauses that explain leaving your rental early. - - Be prepared to retain legal counsel, because this organization borders on techniques that might be construed as bullying or doublespeak. On several occasions, I was told one thing by an employee and something different (and begrudgingly) from Todd. Whether their comments are knowingly deceptive or the result of ignorance, I am not sure. - - Todd O'Banion will use the full extent of the lease to nab away money from your deposit. In my instance it was the lawn. It wasn't freshly mowed (but not overgrown, either.) There was a subtraction on my returned deposit of 425 dollars for the mowing of a third acre lawn. I have not been able to find any mowing services that charges that much for their services. Ultimately, this is an honest account of my experience. I am a decently well-educated individual who is willing to explore my rights and willing to challenge statements that appear intimidating or erroneous. I did this on multiple occasions. I feel bad for the tenant who does not have the capacity, time, or knowledge that they are being misled or bullied. At some point, I was wore down with fighting and gave up. For instance, I chose not to fight the lawn mowing situation. Congratulations, Todd. Beat me on that one. To be a tenant that feels summarily distraught is not a great feeling. Do not be fooled, Todd O'Banion is intent on making money for himself, and the clients he represents. If I owned a home that I wanted someone else to manage, I suppose I would want someone like Todd O'Banion to protect my investment. But personally, I will never rent from this organization in the future. My sister and brother-in-law had an experience that was more negative than mine, but I will allow them to post their experience should they desire to do that. Finally, I know this is not how all landlords treat their tenants. The last two companies I have leased from have been wonderful and accommodating from beginning to end. If Todd, or anyone else, contends with this entry as inadmissible or fake, I have all of my documentation from my time with this company. Feel free to reach out for further information.
