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!
