Property Description
We are so happy to host you at this mountainside retreat. We have poured our hearts into creating this relaxing getaway. Only a few miles from downtown Talkeetna & just a 1/4 mile from the Talkeetna Lakes trail system. You will find miles of running, biking, and skiing trails. Nestled on over an acre, you have a ton of privacy to get away and relax. Built in 2023, this cozy 700 sq ft cabin has top-of-the-line amenities like heated tile floors, a heated towel rack, bidet, back-lit mirror, an in-unit washer & dryer, a fully stocked kitchen, solid wood doors, and custom lighting. This home is a year-round retreat with a spacious arctic entryway to hang up your skis and gear after hitting the trails. Outside you will find over 500 sq ft of south-facing deck to soak up the afternoon sunshine! Our custom home has a 6-foot overhang allowing you covered seating outside so you can get fresh air and stay dry no matter the weather. BBQ, Firepit, and yard games are all on-site. Brand new sauna built fall of 2024 allows for you to relax after a day of exploring. The sauna seats 6 and is located right off the back deck of the main cabin. Minimal light pollution in the area makes our cabin an awesome spot for fall/winter star gazing and northern lights viewing under the right conditions. There is plenty of space for your group to park and bring up ATV's, boats, or snow machines if you plan to recreate in the area. The third "bedroom" is a second smaller dry cabin on the property we call the bunkhouse. The bunkhouse has a much more rustic feel with a bunk bed, futon, wood stove, and small fridge. **The main cabin comfortably sleeps up to 5 adults and the bunk house sleeps up to 4 - Max capacity for the entire property is 9 people. 9 adults is pretty cozy, and keep in mind there is only 1 bathroom.** Please note this property is located in a residential neighborhood and parties are not allowed. Quiet hours are 10:00 pm to 8:00 am. ATTENTION WINTER GUESTS - The bunk house's main heat source is a wood stove. There is a back up electrical space heater as well. If you are not comfortable operating a wood stove this may not be the best option for your stay. PET POLICY: We Allow one dog per booking at an additional $75 fee.

Cute Cabin in the Woods Great cabin in the woods, super close to Talkeetna. I loved how close it was. Talkeetna was our favorite town. The bunkhouse was great for our boys, the fire pit with wood was also wonderful! I also hiked one of the trails and they provided bear spray, which was awesome!!!!

Great location, lots of space We celebrated the first couple days of summer here after the school year concluded. Plenty of space for kids of different ages to sleep and lots of common space for eating, playing games, enjoying a campfire, etc. The main cabin is very nicely appointed with kitchen appliances and laundry. We didn’t need/use any of that, but I can see it would be nice for a longer stay. The location is really ideal — very close to town but still quiet and peaceful.

Perfect getaway for the holiday Stayed a couple of days in Talkeetna for New Years. Everyone loved the cabin. My kids loved the loft area and playing outside on the property, especially doing s'mores with the firepit. My wife enjoyed the sauna and being able to relax and read a book with an amazing view of the outdoors, and I enjoyed the well stocked kitchen. We all had a blast and can't wait to go back. Amazing hosts!

Cozy Talkeetna Retreat We enjoyed the unique Alaskan cabin in an unbeatable location outside Talkeetna. Roomy enough for 4 adults and easy access to hiking, and Denali NP. We even saw the Aurora from the property one night! A special place that felt like home while on our Alaskan adventure. Would definitely recommend to others.

Lovely Cabin in the Woods Very clean and comfortable. Communication with owner was great. My 18 y/o son loved getting away from everyone by staying in the cute bunkhouse. Beautiful property and surroundings.

A true gem of a retreat! My only wish was that we had stayed longer! This property was so relaxing. It was easy to get to, easy to get into, easy to stay here. Lots of lovely natural light inside, the bunkhouse is really cute, fire pit for making s’mores. Close to downtown Talkeetna. I’m so glad we found this property, and working with Liz was a breeze. Hope to travel to Alaska again!
