A cabin stands under a night sky illuminated by vibrant green auroras. The structure is partially lit from within, showcasing large windows framed by snow-covered trees. The contrast of the cabin against the celestial display creates a serene atmosphere.

Charming Loft Cabin 7 mins. to Downtown Talkeetna

MarisaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Excellent spot. We like to cook dinner and they had everything we needed. It was perfect for the two of us. Very private but close to Talkeetna. I’d absolutely stay here again. I had a question and they were quick to respond. I hope to stay here in the future. Thanks for having us!

A serene lakeside scene is depicted, featuring calm waters surrounded by trees displaying autumn foliage. A sign indicating 'Water Access' stands nearby, while a few small boats are visible on the water's edge. Fallen leaves create a colorful carpet on the path leading to the water.

Christiansen Cabin

MykalaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This cabin was wonderful! It had everything they said it would, from a fully stocked kitchen of spices to shampoo in the bathroom. It was private enough you didn’t have to worry about a lot of people around but was close enough to the town of Talkeetna. Was absolutely nice to stay there and would stay again.

Luxury Romantic Waterfront Downtown - Lovescape

CarolynRating, 5 stars9 months ago
Beautiful little cabin with an over-the-top view of Denali. We enjoyed a magical evening sitting in the yard in front of the cabin watching the mountain as the sun set. The space was tight, but the bed was very comfortable.

“The Glamping Loft”- glorified “dry” camping!

GwynRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Peggy is very hospitable. The loft has adequate supplies in the kitchenette to cook in the microwave. No need to be running to the store for salt, paper towels etc. Due to snow we stayed 2 days instead of 1. We loved it. The view from the outhouse is the peaceful woods. Very nice outhouse.

A rustic wood stove is positioned prominently against a textured wooden wall, complemented by a woven basket filled with firewood nearby. The blackened metal stove features a shiny chimney, emphasizing its functional charm within the cabin's cozy interior.

Squirrel Haven

DonnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Squirrel Haven was a great little place tucked in the woods close to everything. Enough room for 3-4 people to sleep comfortably, bed or recliner. The cookies and banana bread were a very special touch!

Your guide to Talkeetna

Welcome to Talkeetna

Visitors to this tiny, funky enclave are greeted by a “Welcome to beautiful downtown Talkeetna” sign casually painted on a collection of rough-hewn boards — a fitting introduction to a town that has hung onto its Gold Rush spirit. The downtown in question is about a block of shops, galleries, and restaurants housed in characterful buildings, many dating back to the early 20th century. The Talkeetna Roadhouse has grown up around a log cabin built in 1917, and serves sourdough pancakes made from a starter that reportedly dates back to 1902. Nestled in the shadow of North America’s tallest peak, Denali, the hamlet has become a base for rugged mountaineers and year-rounder residents with an iconoclastic spirit. The unincorporated village is famous for having appointed an orange cat named Stubbs as its honorary mayor from 1998 until his death in 2017. Located two hours north from Anchorage, the state’s largest city, Talkeetna is an ideal place to get a taste of small-town frontier life.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Talkeetna

Deciding when to visit Talkeetna has a lot to do with your tolerance for cold weather, as both warm and chilly months have plenty to offer. Summers in Talkeetna are mild and even occasionally hot, and an ideal time to book a rafting trip on the Talkeetna or Susitna rivers, which flow right through town. In the winter, snowy sports like snowshoeing, skiing, and dog sledding take over. The entire month of December is devoted to Winterfest, an entertaining blend of the cozy — a tree lighting ceremony and light parade — and irreverent: a bachelor auction, and a Wilderness Woman competition in which participants haul water and chop wood.


Top things to do in Talkeetna

Denali National Park and Preserve

You don’t have to be a seasoned outdoors person to experience Denali, the 20,310-foot-high peak that towers over Talkeetna. You can book a flightseeing tour year round with one of the local air taxi businesses, and take in breathtaking views of the mountain from above, as well as views of dramatic gorges and ice walls. You’ll have an unforgettable experience of wild Alaska, with plenty of time left over to grab dinner in town.

Talkeetna Cemetery

This small cemetery is inextricably linked to Denali. A whitewashed cedar telephone pole appointed with chainsaw-carved climbers memorializes those who lost their lives on the mountain. Don Sheldon, a legendary bush pilot known for rescuing mountaineers in trouble, is buried here.

Hurricane Turn Train

Traveling 55 scenic miles between Talkeetna and Hurricane Gulch — a verdant valley spanned by a trestle bridge — this train stops, well, anywhere. Lauded as the last “flag stop” train in the United States, locals rely on it for transportation to remote locales, and hail a ride by standing along the route and flagging it down — with an actual flag, a white T-shirt, or even their hands. Once aboard, passengers tell the conductor where they wish to stop. Make sure to grab food for the journey in Talkeetna — this rugged train doesn’t have a dining car.
