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.

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.
