    We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived and the property was as described and as the photos show. The beds were conformable. It was a bit chilly, but we made it work. We would stay here again if we end up in the area again.

    Very nice, modern, well stocked for cooking. Quiet. Easy access to Talkeetna and Denali. Long drive to the main Denali entrance but very doable. Would stay again.

    Beautiful place. Great location for visiting Talkeetna. Long ways away from Denali but we drove up and back so it's doable. House is very well stocked for meals. Would certainly stay here again.

    Great location and very responsive host. Really nice and modern cabin. Just far enough out side of town to get away from folks when desired but just a few minutes to have drinks, catch flights ect. Master bed is soft if that is a concern. I give the place an A

    We absolutely enjoyed our stay in Talkeetna. This property is private and about halfway along the spur. It is well stocked and check in was a breeze. We didn’t need anything during our stay, but when I checked in with the owner at the close of our trip, she was very quick to reply.

    Worked great for our family. Off the beaten path just enough but plenty close to everything we wanted to do. All aspects of the house were as listed, check in and communication were great. Nice place to explore Talkeetna and surrounding area. Would stay again for sure.

    This was an amazing place to stay! The house is comfortable, clean, quiet, private - all the things we were hoping for. It is very obvious that the owners want their guests to be impressed and happy during their stay. We drove up from Anchorage to do a bike ride for the American Lung Association, and wanted a home away from home for our event. During our downtime, we enjoyed grilling dinner, a campfire in the fire pit, lounging a bit on the couch, and just sitting at the picnic table soaking up some sun and nice weather. We hope to find an excuse to stay again soon!

    Family had fun, wasnt too far from town or the grocery store. Only minor complaint was the neighbors dog who would not stop barking at all hours of the day and night. Couldn't hear him from inside the house, cudos to a well insulated home.
