A wonderful lodge. Quiet rooms; well stocked kitchen as far as utensils, dishes and refrigerator space. Has a bbq if choose not to go out for dinner. Would have enjoyed one of the two patios with fire pits but rained during our stay. House has very nice decorations and plenty of seating in main room It is a bit far from Talkeetna so must use your car.

It is the best cabin Lodge we’ve ever stayed. The host welcomed to us at the gate. It’s a huge botanical garden with beautiful flowers. Cabins are scattered individually in different styles, so quiet in peaceful. I would like to stay more days if I had not booked next hotel.

We loved this place and our room was great. It had dark curtains, which was so convenient for sleeping when the sun rises so early in the summer. Our room in the lodge was a sliding door away from the very nice shared kitchen with two big refrigerators for storing guest’s food. Very well equipped. We also received some great help from Stacey, the owner/ manager.

The owner, Stacey, is very nice and the lodge and our rooms on the first floor of the lodge were terrific. We’ll stay here again when we’re back in Talkeetna. It’s just outside town, is clean, spacious, and recently renovated.

Make sure you know what you are booking. This property is way off the beaten path down a dirt road with no cell service. They have a small lodge and a few cabins. Every room is different. Our cabin ended up being dry, which I did not realize when booking. We had a private bathroom, but it was in a different building. The cabin was nice, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was inconvenient and could have been cleaner. The owners were very pleasant.
