About this property

Oakley Inn, 3 bedroom 2 bath, sleeps 8

Our cabin in the woods sits in a hilly forest only 7 minutes from downtown Talkeetna. We have an old trail going right thru our property, meaning you don't have to drive anywhere to enjoy miles and miles of fat tire biking, running, hiking, or viewing the aurora borealis. If you want miles of groomed cross country ski trails, the Talkeetna Lakes Park is a mile away and good for a whole trip's worth of fun. Our full kitchen means you don't have to go out, but a vacation to Talkeetna wouldn't be complete without hitting some of our restaurants, brewery, and pubs. And we're happy to inform you that Talkeetna now has a bike and ski rental shop, Talkeetna Gear Shop. We have some serious winter bike trails, too. It's still a secret that we have great cross country ski trails. So if you want a quiet town with plenty of activity in the winter, head this way. If you're coming in the summer, see how many of our local lakes you can swim in (at least 8 for us this year).

Beautiful, Peaceful Stay

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! It was peaceful, serene, and the perfect place to relax. We had a wonderful stay during our Denali trip—especially when the sun came out and the clouds cleared just in time for us to see the stunning Denali peak! The location was ideal, close to charming downtown Talkeetna where we enjoyed delicious spinach garlic bread, pizza, ice cream, and scenic views of the river. A truly memorable experience!

Nice place

Good location for activities in Talkeetna. There were 6 adults in our group - the upstairs loft requires one to climb a ladder to get to that bed - if anyone has issues with climbing a ladder - and managing taking luggage up that ladder - this may not be the place for you. This is a quaint and comfortable place. I would recommend a keypad for entry instead of a lockbox (could be easy to lose the key). Overall, it is the location to activities in Talkeetna that make this a good choice. Take bug spray - mosquitos are fierce. Host communicates very well!

Nice cabin, quiet location

We only stayed one night at this cabin, but we found it well stocked, comfortable, and quiet. We especially liked the rustic decor. The owner was very responsive and helpful to an unexpected situation we encountered. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Quiet Retreat

This home, while located near other residences, is very quiet. You can hear the wildlife that is nearby and off in a distant location.2 bedrooms are located on the second floor. The 3rd bedroom is a loft with a ladder that you access from the 2nd floor. One bathroom is on the main floor while the other is on the second floor. There isn't a dishwasher but they do provide liquid dishwasher detergent for cleaning.Deck is not accessible during the Winter months due to snow.

Amazing place to stay!

This is a beautiful house with large windows, great views and a very comfortable atmosphere, in the peaceful woods but close to town. We greatly enjoyed our time here and would book it again without reservation. The home has very interesting wood and stone work throughout, a cozy sitting room upstairs and a loft as well (great for kids). In all, just a wonderful place to stay whether you are a couple or a family of 5.

It was -20 in Talkeetna so we were very grateful for the nice wood stove and spacious living space to hang out. Also we found a trail that led to a frozen lake nearby. Would stay again for sure

I've been enjoying Alaska since the 90's and it's not about to stop! I love the hiking and biking and swimming Alaska offers and I try to hit one of em daily.

Why they chose this property

Thoreau Drive is centrally location between Talkeetna Lakes Park and the trailhead at the end of Comsat Road. Both fun places to bike, hike, jog, ski, swim etc. Oh yeah, swimming can be a blast on the occasional hit sunny day!
