The house was clean and decorated in keeping with the area. The layout of this renovated garage is quirky and it would have been nice to have had a television on the main floor. The coffeemaker definitely needs to be replaced. The pot was cracked and the side to make a pod was so slow with a tiny water reservoir. The upstairs loft bedroom needs small side tables or a floating shelf to sit items on.

Talkeetna & Denali National Park trip

Perfect cabin located within walking distance from the cute little town of Talkeetna. We had a little further drive to the Denali National Park, but it was definitely worth staying here. The cabin was perfect for our group of four and had all the amenities that you need. It was very clean and decorated appropriately for the area. Definitely recommend staying here.

Great experience

We stayed here with our infant and another couple for my sister’s wedding. The house was perfect for our needs and the caretaker was very helpful and welcoming. The house was immaculately clean and well stocked (though admittedly we didn’t do any cooking), and the location was great. Highly recommend!

The house (formerly a garage) is spacious and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is large and well-equipped. It is so very quiet. There are several ill-conceived designs. First and foremost is the location of the single bathroom on the second floor. One bedroom is on the first floor; the other bedroom is a loft on the 3rd floor which is accessed via a winding metal stairway. So you either have to climb up stairs or climb down the winding metal stairs to reach the bathroom, which can be treacherous and aggravating if you need to “go” once or twice during the night.The loft also has no room for nightstands, so there is no place for your glasses, book, glass of water, etc. The bathroom is very roomy with a nice shower. I would not recommend this property for anyone who has issues with walking or climbing stairs.

Great location and property

So cute!! We loved it! The property is a short walk from downtown Talkeetna. The town had great stores, amazing restaurants and lots of adventure opportunities. Denali can be seen from town on clear days. The host had coffee and cream along with a Brita water pitcher for us when we arrived. Very clean rooms, and plenty of towels. Beds were very comfortable. We can’t recommend this rental enough. We would definitely stay here again. Very modern appliances with laundry soap and all cleaning supplies we needed during our stay Three luggage racks were a great bonus.

Wonderful experience!

The rental was great, very high end finishes and very nice. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. It was close to restaurants and the train station. Only thing to note is that the 1 bath is upstairs and the primary bedroom is in the basement. Overall a great place to stay and we would certainly recommend staying there!

Brother Bear Lodge - Denali bound

Brother Bear is beautiful & immaculate. There has been great effort in the conversion to a guest house. However, the set up seemed a bit awkward. Photos are accurate - first level had a sitting room (pull out sofa bed) the only bedroom & laundry. The stairs leading to the second level were uneven. The first step quite high and the last step in the flight - short. (Honestly, coming down the stairs and getting to the last step, we all used caution.) The second level contained the kitchen & dining & 4 chairs AND the bathroom. Plenty of nice quality towels and additional toiletries available. At the far end of second level is a small landing to sit and enjoy the fresh air. From this second level was a spiral staircase that lead to a loft. Getting luggage up the stairs was tricky. I elected to leave one of my suitcases on the second floor & only take the small piece to the third level. Linens were of quality and beds comfortable. We spent the majority of our time on this second level. It was the most open and "social" area. It was unfortunate that this main space did not have a TV. The room is long & has wasted space. Well equipped kitchen - Hi-quality everything. We contributed some spices and condiments with our stay -normal pass along. There was only ONE wine glass. We enjoyed our peaceful time at Brother Bear and the little Chalet town of Talkeetna. Would stay again. Not much to do & that was just fine! Town folk were very friendly.

Not what was advertised

Myself and the friend traveling with me are in our mid-to-late ‘70’s. From the pictures and the description of this property it appeared clean and bright and the location was great, with two bedrooms. However, on arrival, we discovered that the “master” bedroom had no bath and that the only bath was up two flights of difficult stairs. And the second bedroom, which we also intended to use, was up a metal spiral staircase that was very narrow. It turned out the bathroom was located on the middle floor, above and below either bedroom, and for persons of our age and health, where getting up multiple times during the night was necessary, the stairs were very difficult for both of us to climb. After fully understanding the layout, we opted NOT to stay even one night at the property and returned to Anchorage, our homebase and my home town. I requested a return on half of the room deposit (we had reserved two nights in Talkeetna), stating that the property was not well described and the pictures misleading as to the location of the only bath. The owner declined to return half of the deposit, claiming the property was adequately described on the website. I disagree. Worse, even after we had communicated with the owner/manager that we were not staying even one night, I continued to get emails each day expressing the hope that I was enjoying the visit! Those wishes may be computer generated but given our situation, I found those emails very irritating. Not a good experience. RPB

Great place for weekend stay

Cabin was clean and kitchen was very well stocked. All of the sleeping areas were comfortable and the laundry machines were great. Talkeetna is a cute town on the weekends, but seemed to slow down a bit on weekdays (even mid-July). As we were leaving on a Tuesday, there was a sign in a restaurant downtown that said "sold out, see you friday". We thoroughly enjoyed the Hurricane Train that runs on Thurs - Mon afternoons. Teens hiked in Denali State Park (trailhead about an hour away).

Nice place to stay, close to town

Location was excellent, just a short 5 min walk through the woods (and saw a moose and baby moose one time!) to town and airport across the road. Clean, nicely stocked kitchen and good quality linens. As mentioned, there are steps from bedrooms to bathroom but wasn't a problem for our family. And the kids loved the electric bug hand zapper - definitely helped with mosquitoes that snuck it with us.
