Amazing Cabin!
This was an amazing cabin located perfectly in Talkeetna. The beds were very comfortable, the laundry and kitchen had everything we needed, and the unique kitchen table was perfect for family talks and dinners. We recommend this place to everyone and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Alaska Adventure
Great property to stay. Nice cozy cabin that can accommodate up to 6 adults. Talkneetna is nice town and we actually were able to see Denali from the river there. We had a slight issue operating the key pad to get in however that was due to operator error.

Luxurious Cabin
As we entered the adorable log cabin, the woodwork inside was gorgeous, warm and inviting. The dining table, where we had breakfast every morning, was a slab cut from a gigantic tree which was complemented by the coffee table in the living area. We truly appreciated their beauty. The house was more than well equipped - they have everything - dishwasher, dishwashing and clothes soap,Clorex wipes, every pot, pan and dish needed along with K-Cups and a filtered water pitcher in the fridge. It made our adventure so easy. The entire experience was exceptional! Although we didn't meet the host in person, he was very accommodating before we arrived and was available if we needed anything. If you find yourself in Talkeetna, we highly recommend the Lazy Bear!

Reservation cancelled without notice
Property was very clean and had high end features; however, we had booked the property next door, which is 3BR and 2BA. When I communicated with property manager just prior to arriving to our cabin (in Alaska), I was told the reservation was "lost" and that we no longer could stay there (even through VRBO clearly showed the reservation was current and had not been cancelled). We were told we could stay at their next door property, which was 1 BR plus bed in loft with 1 bathroom (instead of 3BR/2BA), but only for 2 nights, instead of 3 nights, which is what I had reserved the original property for. After settling in, the folks who were staying in our originally booked cabin said they were family members who just got some time off spur of the moment and asked if they could stay at the cabin we had booked.
