We enjoyed our "Denali-view" cabin -- only about a 10 minute drive from Talkeetna. Clean and comfortable, with a view of Denali from the living room, the breakfast area, and both bedrooms upstairs!

Beautiful property. Denali views on a clear day - although there aren’t many clear days we caught a glimpse on our first morning. Very clean.

Sadly we never got a clear view but I think could have a gorgeous view on clear days. Cabin was clean and as described. My fault I did not read it was a mini kitchen. I prefer a full one. I would recommend the cabin for a couple. We were 4 with my elderly parents. It is very tiny. On 3 could sit on the futon to watch tv. The bathroom was very little. My only concern was no hand rails on the steps. Beds are up and bathroom down. Great couple spot though.

Excellent views of Denali from the couch!(not guaranteed of course). Bedrooms upstairs and bathroom downstairs for those with limited mobility. Limited cooking options but we did not need. Bring your own coffee if aficionado! Great response from host for needs of more towels and great value for cost.

Cute little place in the woods, clean, great communicator. No insulation between floors so very noisy. Kitchen. bath and living room small. Wouldn't be able to do much meal prep in the kitchen. Upstairs bedrooms nice sized.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Ruth - so glad you enjoyed the cabin. We appreciate the feedback. For future travelers: this is a traditional cabin built intentionally with open beam / tongue and groove wood flooring between the two floors. Many find this craftsman style aesthetic and any noise referenced was within the single party renting the stand alone cabin. The listing for the cabin describes the kitchen as a “kitchenette” and guests who do prep meals report positively that it has all the amenities they need.

The only reason we are rating it 4 rather than 5 is due to the issue of the family who rented the next door cabin coming in at 11 pm. and they were very loud - waking us up from almost sleep and keeping us up for an hour.In the future the host should limit the hour other guests can check in to before 10 p.m. and instruct them to be quiet as they enter the property or are on the outside.We really had no idea there would be two other cabins that close in proximity to ours.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review James. Glad you would've chosen 5 stars had you not been disturbed by other guests. I'm sorry this negatively affected your stay and appreciate you sharing this feedback. Many of our guests arrive on the 8pm Seattle to Anchorage flight. After getting bags and a rental car, 11 pm can be a standard check in time. I did know in advance they would be arriving at that hour and will make a point in the future to alert guests checking in after 10 pm to be quiet and courteous of others. 10 pm is noted in our listing as the start of quiet hours, but sometimes the midnight sun of summer can lull visitors into feeling like its earlier than it is...Apologies again and thank for including our lodging in your AK plans.

The hostess was very helpful and welcoming, she let us know how to find the aurora forecast and we got to see it right from our cabin. The cabin itself was also very nice and accommodating, we’ll most definitely stay again and longer next time.

Amazing stay. A very clean and beautiful house with sweeping views and all the amenities a family could need. The hostess was exceptional helpful and gracious, and we were sad to leave. Super close to Talkeetna without being in the fray of the downtown area. Just book this place - you will not be disappointed.
