We had a great time at the guesthouse. It is super close to the grocery store in Talkeetna as well as very close to the Talkeetna Air taxi for Glacier tour and has amazing view of Mount Denali! I will definitely be staying here again the next time I’m in Talkeetna. And yes we did find the moose!
We really loved our stay in this lovely home! Such a unique home, with lots of character! It was on a beautiful property and very close to the neat little downtown area of Talkeetna! Thank you for your hospitality!
Amazing! One person in our party exclaimed that it is the best VRBO that they have ever been in. We were blessed with two clear days for seeing the mountains. Super delightful VRBO!
Spacious rooms. Unique decor. Nestled nicely in the woods with a view of Mount Denali. We were lucky and had a visit from a momma moose and her twin calves. Fantastic host with great communications. Highly recommend to all!
We came to fly with our son who is a pilot in the summer for K2. In the winter he lives in Girdwood and is a national ski patroller. What a life! This beautiful place enhanced our stay with its beauty inside and out!
Love the views, the layout and decor of the house and all of the functional items we needed for a weekend getaway. We messaged the manager for a Pack and Play for our toddler and they had it at the doorstep in <10 minutes. Great host and great property!
This is a lovely home, it was perfect for 3 couples. Spacious and interesting with all the climbing pictures the owner has as well as climbing gear. We had a great stay here.
What an amazing visit. We were blessed with three beautiful days with fairly clear views of Denali. We did the wilderness tundra tour at Denali national Park and got to see four out of the five "big five". We spent a full relaxing day at the house and in Talkeetna. The town is beautiful and friendly. Relaxing at the house was its own form of heaven. The more we explored the house, the more we learned of Brian's adventures and what started as a beautiful vacation property became a home that we felt privileged to be able to stay at. Thank you for a wonderful stay- it truly helped shape our Alaskan experience!

It was a great stay. I'm currently working on a deadline but will try to update my description next week.
Beautiful, perfectly kept, fully up to date home. Great location and amazing views. No A/C but rarely needed in AK. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Nice house to rent.
My group of eight really enjoyed our quick stay in this home. The view from the house over looking the mountain range is beautiful. The house was clean and comfortable. Easy access to town. I would definitely stay there again.

Thanks Christina for staying with us and taking the time to write a review. Safe travels in our beautiful state!

We checked in on a rainy, overcast day. The next day was sunny and 70, and the property owner consented to our return so we could see the Denali view we missed and it was SPECTACULAR. Glad we returned. So, on a clear day, you can sit outside on the deck or inside and enjoy a clear view of Denali. The property is decorated in a mash-up of bush pilot, mountain climber, skiing , and Hobbit-house with a Scandinavian flavor. It's clean and well appointed. There are a couple other buildings we didn't access/rent. We were there just one night and this was a neat place to rest. Definitely recommend.
The 4 of us just loved this place! The views were spectacular, the amenities were endless, the beds super comfy. We really enjoyed all the pictures around the house of ice climbing. We are so impressed! We would absolutely stay here again!!
The weather in Talkeetna was pretty rough while were there but we tried to get out & enjoy the area as much as we could, but it was absolutely delightful to have our out of the wild mountain house to come home to. It was warm, comfortable & spacious!
