"We absolutely loved our stay at Chinook Winds! The owners went above and beyond by picking us up at the train station and even giving us a tour of the town, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
As owners of a travel agency, we usually stay in large corporate hotels and rarely book cabins or locally owned accommodations. This was a last-minute reservation, and it completely exceeded our expectations. Everything was exceptional—from the incredibly comfortable bed to the soft towels and great coffee. It was, without question, the best lodging we experienced during our Alaska trip.
The photos truly don't do this place justice. We can't say enough good things about Chinook Winds and will absolutely be recommending and booking it for our clients in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!"
"Rustic, historic, and very lively. Not ideal if you are seeking a quiet retreat. They provide earplugs for those who who have difficulty sleeping through the music and fun."
"We enjoyed our stay. Had nice conversation over coffee this morning in the kitchen. The well equipped kitchen had snacks, coffee creamer and all the necessities! Clean and comfortable option."
"Our family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) stayed at Chinook Bear in late July 2026 and were all impressed with this cabin. It is so charming, cozy, and more spacious than the pictures portray. If we ever find ourselves in Talkeetna in the future, we would definitely choose to stay here again."
Modern Log Cabin Vacation Rental with En Suite Sauna in Talkeetna, Alaska
10/10 Excellent
"This was easily one of the best properties that have ever stayed in. The cabin is thoughtfully furnished, all the needed supplies and provisions provided, and very clean. We had two rainy days in Talkeetna and it was nice to have a cozy cabin to hang out in. After a cold and rainy fishing trip, the sauna was superb."
