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).

It was a great cabin in the woods. Comfortable and cozy. Nothing fancy but everything you need. Very close to Talkeetna but it felt miles and miles away- in a good way. It was so peaceful and quiet. Did not really communicate with the hosts simply because it was not needed. Only MINOR issue was that we ran out of firewood on the first night and could not find more. We would definitely stay here again if we return to this area.
What an incredible, clean and cozy cabin. We stayed as a family - parents and 3 kids, 14-11. Easy to find, easy check-in and check-out. It was obvious the hosts care for the property, their guests and making sure Alaska is well-represented. The Talkeetna town is close and adorable. We cooked, sat by the fire, read and watched movies. My 14 year old told me that he felt like it was an "actual vacation" because it was so relaxing. We saw the northern lights from the driveway and went "moose-hunting." We didn't want to leave! Highly recommended!
Loved the location, nice and quiet. Had everything we needed for our stay. Even a martini shaker and glass! The loft bedroom would have been a great place to stay, but not for us. We’re in late 60’s early 70’s. The stairs too steep for us. Thanks for a great stay!
We enjoyed our stay here. Tim was super responsive and flexible with us. The only thing I would like others to know that the two top bunks are pretty close to the ceiling (as they often are) so two people need to be ok with that situation. No big deal, just something to be aware of. Great stay, great host and great house.
This property was amazing. Close to talkeetna but quiet and in nature. Also in good spot for a denali view and national park visit. Very clean, cozy and comfy. Tim was also extremely friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!
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!
Stayed for 2 nights in order to visit talkeetna and do a flightseeing trip to denali. Cozy, lots of creature comforts and amenities like coffee and soaps, shampoos. Felt peaceful amd comfortable for a family of 5.

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!
