About this property

Chinook Bear

Unique newly built one bedroom cabin in East Talkeetna near Talkeetna airport. A full size kitchen will give you the comforts of food and warm place to enjoy some relaxing time by the gas fireplace. Coffee and tea, hot cocoa and are provided for anytime you like. Walk 10 to 15 minutes or drive a few minutes to downtown restaurants and music. All close and convenient are the air taxis, Talkeetna taxi, riverboat and Alaska Railroad. We are midway to Denali in just a 2.5 hour drive north.
Stop and enjoy our Denali view by river boat or ski plane, train or car. Great trail system for hiking many areas in Talkeetna. Just ask!

Great place to stay in Talkeetna. Comes equipped with everything you might need. My only issue was the beds. It’s really just one bed and two fold out beds that are just not comfortable and very small. No way you could sleep 5 people here.

We had a great stay at the Chinook Bear. The place was very clean, tidy, and had everything that we could have asked for. Only a mile away from the town center, it made for an easy walk or very fast drive. We would definitely stay again!

It was set in a quiet location. We appreciated the cleanliness and secluded setting. It was still very close to downtown Talkeetna so you had lots of options of what to do based on the weather.
