Welcome to The Marlin House, a cozy and thoughtfully built cabin just a short walk from Talkeetna’s charming downtown. This one-bedroom retreat was a true labor of love — a project I started with dreams of retiring here one day. After four years of hands-on building and design, it’s become a perfect blend of comfort, craftsmanship, and Alaskan charm.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious bedroom with a king-size bed, a comfortable sofa sleeper for two, and all the comforts of home — including a full kitchen, laundry, and fast Wi-Fi. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a weeklong adventure, you’ll have everything you need to relax and unwind.

Step outside and explore! The Marlin House is just a 15-minute walk from Denali Brew Pub, Talkeetna’s beloved craft brewery, and close to the town’s best restaurants, and local shops. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the area’s world-class fishing, hiking, hunting, and sightseeing, while those seeking quiet can enjoy peaceful mornings on the porch surrounded by the beauty of Alaska.

Come experience small-town Alaska with all the comforts of home — and see why guests say this little house feels built with heart.

    When we arrived there were sheets and towels in the dryer that I folded prior to being able to use the dryer.

    Very soft and comfortable bed. Had everything for a comfortable stay! Loved the peace and quiet! Kids loved sleeping on the pull out sofa and pull out ottoman so they didn’t have to share. Lovely cabin in the woods! Highly recommend.

    We had lots of room and we were close to town but in a quiet place without train or plane noise. The washer and dryer were handy, and the host provided much-appreciated extra service in getting an item back to us that we left. My Keurig-dependent wife struggled a bit to remember how to make coffee the old-fashioned way, but otherwise we had everything we needed. 5 stars.

    Talkeetna remains an Alaskan bush community. Do not expect manicured lawns but the cabin is well furnished with a good bed, internet and tv. I don't think we used the tv but it is available. It is an interesting town.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Talkeetna at the Marlin House. It was the perfect Valentine’s Day getaway from the big city. The cabin was easy to locate. It was clean and cozy and warm! Communicating with the host was great! We will definitely book there again and recommend the Marlin House to visitors from the lower 48. Thank you!

    The Marlin House is just as described online. The king bed was very comfy (and I'm a bit of a bed snob) and the house was perfect for our one night stay. It's not fancy, but it's clean and comfortable. Just what I was looking for!

    The Marlin Cabin was perfect. Spacious, comfortable and had everything we could need. A wonderful, extremely comfortable king bed in a single bedroom. Windows everywhere with good blackout shades. And so, so quiet. We loved it.

    This was a great home in Talkeetna for our 2 day stay! Check in was easy. Inside very clean, outdoor property/front porch not so much. I sent a message to owner, never heard a peep from him. No check out instructions, etc. I would stay here again but would just have liked some communication for owner.

    The property was clean, which is my number one priority and had lots of room for the two of us. It is convenient to the town of Talkeetna. It’s about 20 minute walk and a short three or four minute drive. The house was not ready at check in, but the owner responded immediately and took care of the problem.

    We stayed here July 21-23, 2025. It was perfect for us. Very very clean and comfortable. We had a rental vehicle so we drove to the main area of town for shopping, eating etc but walking there is do-able also. We would definitely stay here again!
