While staying with us you will have the entire guest house, which is the top two private stories of our log building and includes 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms and a full kitchen. There is an additional sleeping area in the upstairs hallway located outside the bedrooms with a small double fold down futon couch. Located on the property is a part time long-term renter in a bottom floor apartment, and the owner keeps a small apartment over the garage for use when he is in town. The only shared space may be the yard or the driveway.
While staying here, enjoy a large comfortable open kitchen and sitting area on first level. There is one full bathroom on this level that includes a washer and dryer. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, each hosting a queen bed and river views. The master bedroom, the ‘Talkeetna’, has a private full bathroom. The other two bedrooms are called the ‘Susitna’ and the ‘Chulitna’. There is a single fold down futon in the upstairs hallway area that can be used as a bed.
Please enjoy your free Wi-Fi and free cruiser bicycles available for guests. We are only a half a mile from downtown Talkeetna, and adjacent to a 14 mile paved bike path that goes along the Talkeetna Spur Road and downtown. We are located within walking distance, 6-10 minute walk, to the train depot and downtown.

Eye of Denali did not disappoint- we saw Denali perfectly on the 2 bright sunny days that we stayed! An added bonus. The river was amazing.
The cabin was beautiful and immaculate. Definitely a true Alaskan cabin experience. It was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay, conveniently located to town and any excursion you might participate in like the K2 Aviation glacier landing flight(must do!) and the Phantom Charter finishing trip. You can walk, bike or drive to town for souvenir shopping, Fireweed ice cream at Shirley’s, or a visit to see the Mayor (a cat named Aurora) at Nagley’s! Lattitude 62 has great food, especially the corned beef sandwich.
The owners of the cabin were very easy to communicate with and replied to any questions we had immediately- they even accommodated an early check-in. One of the best parts about the cabin was no TV so you can be in the moment! The cabin was filled with such interesting history, fun games, interesting books, and the best Oosik poem- you have to go to read it. We even met the part time renter who lives below, and he was very friendly and helpful with advice for our next adventure. Part of the beauty of traveling is meeting new people. We will definitely recommend this cabin to anyone that will be traveling to Talkeetna. Thank you to the wonderful hosts- we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

This is an iconic cabin just as you would imagine in Alaska. There is no TV so be sure to bring a book and maybe a deck of cards. The train is very loud but doesn’t come very often. The river is very fast and not something you can go in. Definitely go to Cuubys for groceries

Hosts were fantastic to work with on anything. Kind to check in. The train that others mention didn't bother my family of 6 in the slightest. It was daylight longer and we were awake. Loved all of the history within the walls of the home. So amazing to as the accomplishments!

It was a very cute place with a beautiful view in back yard. It was a little weird having the caretaker always around and choosing to close back steps to paint while we were there.

We stayed one night at Eye of Denali. We were a family of 9 (7 adults and 2 children). All of us absolutely loved this home. The home was cozy, it was tastefully decorated, beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked. We greatly appreciated the Welcome Book which had all the information that we needed to enjoy our stay. It was obvious that this home is well cared for and that the owners wanted renters to have a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the hammock, bicycles, sitting by the river, checking for Denali, and the close proximity to town. This was by far our favorite VRBO on our land tour. We highly recommend this home as a vacation stop.
