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!

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.

This is the closest place to the small airport for flight seeing, but every other place to stay in Talkeetna is less than 3-4 mins away, so that's not really a plus. Even if you're 20 years old, I'd recommend staying at one of the road houses on Main street. If we come back we're staying at the much nicer lodge or cabins down the road.

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.
