My husband and I enjoyed 3 nights here while visiting Denali NP. We were about 15 min away from the visitor center and very close to gas stations/restaurants. The property is immaculate, well stocked, clean, and quiet and restful. We highly recommend and would love to return for a future stay!
We enjoyed our 3 night stay here very much. It had everything we needed, well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and comfortable bed. The cottage was only about 20 minutes from Denali. The road in to the cottage was a little rough but no problem for our sedan. The hosts were excellent and easy to communicate with if need be. I would stay here again.
Everything was as advertised and in great condition. Comfortable space and great views. Top notch amenities and service. Would highly recommend it and hope to stay there again.
This property is about as perfect as we could have hoped for. Location is great if you’re visiting Denali. The deck on back of home is perfect to hang out on. We got to see a mama moose and her calf right in the “backyard”. We would absolutely stay here again.
This cottage was the perfect home base for our trip to Denali National Park! The place is beautifully maintained and spotless. Love all the thoughtful details throughout like the baseboard heater under the towel bar in the bathroom and quality kitchen appliances.
This property is amazing! Shannon and David have thought of every detail to ensure your stay is perfect in every way. I have never stayed at such a well stocked vacation home, even left creamer in the fridge for us! We hope to be back to visit again soon!
We loved our stay at this cozy cottage! It’s is very comfortable and located close to nearby attractions. Communication was seamless! The host was responsive and considerate, ensuring our stay was comfortable from start to finish
We had a wonderful stay in this cottage! The owners are great to work with, the cottage is exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect for visiting Denali National Park. We enjoyed watching moose from the deck! Would definitely recommend.
This cabin is very cozy and clean. It is a short and beautiful drive to Denali. We loved coming back to a quiet peaceful place with fall color right off the deck and nice views when the rain let up. The bed is very comfortable and the hosts thought of all you might need. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and definitely hope to stay again. All around great place to stay.
A very nice cottage! It was very apparent the quality and care of everything in the cottage. The back deck was amazing for having dinner or just relaxing. Dave and Shannon were great hosts, very responsive and gave detailed information.
We stayed two nights and loved it. The cabin is only 15 minutes from the park entrance and near food and supplies. Yet it is off the beaten and noisy path and peaceful. We enjoyed the view of the woods while we had breakfast and the interior of the cabin is beautiful. It's well furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this cabin as the ideal place to stay while visiting Denali.
Very likely that this was the nicest of all the places I’ve stayed! Very well organized and stocked, top of the line amenities, outstanding location 20 min from Denali, 5 min to 49th State Brewing. Very peaceful and quiet! Excellent directions and communication!
The owners were very nice and accommodating. This cottage was just as described and a perfect location for our time in the Denali area. It’s a short drive to the park with a restaurant and grocery store very close by. Extremely clean, well appointed and stocked with everything you could need. Love the labels….sure makes finding everything easy!
The property has amazing views of the mountains and is in a quiet wooded area with wildlife. It is located close to the grocery store, gas station and restaurants. The interior is beautifully decorated and spacious, and includes all the amenities that made us feel at home. We enjoyed eating outside on the patio. The hosts were great about communicating with us. Highly recommend!!
The cottage was clean, comfortable, well laid out, and had everything we needed for our stay. It was clear the hosts cared about the satisfaction of their guests.
The cottage was also a great alternative to staying in a local hotel. No noisy crowds or crowded restaurants. Just a nice quiet space of our own.
Thanks to the hosts
My husband and I truly enjoy our stay in the charming tiny cabin that fits perfectly with the charm of Talkeetna. It was clean, cozy and stocked with everything that you could need and more. Communication with host was easy and we appreciate their genuine willingness to do whatever needed to make our stay pleasant. Make sure to take the hike down to fish lake and plan time for an adult beverage at the nearby Denali Brewing.
We had a great week. The cabin was completely modern and very well done. Yet stuck next to the wilds of the Alaska landscape.
Our host was very responsive and had lots of notes to help us out. The cabin was also very stocked on a number of items. Really enjoyed it.
