Great place. Secluded and peaceful. Had everything we needed for our family of 5. The washer and dryer were a nice surprise. The host was extremely responsive when we had a question.

We loved our stay! The home is as pictured and well done. The windows throughout gave great light and views of green outdoors reminding you that you are in the woods and more of a private setting. Very relaxing. A close drive to downtown Talkeetna. Drive to Denali bus depot is about 2.5 hours and we are glad we stayed here in Talkeetna for a long weekend while visiting the park for one day. Fun small town, great food, great people. Did the AK dog sled tour - Miguel and team did an amazing job just had to throw that out there. Lakes close by for fishing. We truly enjoyed our stay. Hosts were extremely responsive and proactive.

Beautiful and quiet place. The neighborhood dogs added to the charm. There was a water issue but someone came by within an hour to fix it. The host was very responsive!
