Neat town and good location

Neat built home right in the river and a much needed one mile walk from town after driving and eating all the towns good food! Right next to the train depot if that’s what your plans are, or good access to the min roads to get into Denali (2hr drive). I liked the welcome book and seeing all the guests that have stayed and some of the items in the house were neat and showed some of the history. A train occasionally went by but did not bother us. Great views of the river with a nice yard with tables next to the river to enjoy.

Eye of Denali

Perfect place and location for our vacation stay at Talkeetna. Loved the character and the views out the big windows. Only suggestion we would have is to upgrade the dryer. It took an overly long time to dry clothes which is a waste of your electric bill. We visited K2 Aviation for a flightseeing tour, Mahays jet boat, atv tour, shopping and who can forget all the great food!

The Eye of Denali in is just as the description says. It has so much Talkeetna history and personality in it. It may not be the newest, fanciest option around, but it was spotless, has an amazing view, kind and responsive hosts, and these incredible little treasures to look at and read about all over. The location was great, far enough away from downtown for quiet and privacy but close enough to walk anywhere we needed. Thank you!!!

Lovely location and views. We had clear skies and pristine views of Denali. The house is comfortable and well appointed, within easy walking distance to town. Trains and sightseeing planes were the only downsides.

Location, location, location

Comfortable, inviting and eclectic cabin in the most beautiful of locations, right on the Susitna River. Easy to find. Very convenient to town, but with a feeling of being just a touch remote. We hit the weather jackpot and had amazing views of Denali every single day! The 3 bedrooms upstairs are very adequate and comfy with awesome views. It was necessary for us to leave the bedroom doors open at night, for the heat rising from downstairs. An extra blanket or two would have been helpful, but we were prepared with layers of clothing. And this is AK after all...so not complaining, just informing! One bathroom is upstairs & one downstairs with nice towels and bathing amenities provided. The kitchen is great with all the necessary needs; silverware, plates, pans, mugs etc... We would have loved an outdoor grill (gas), as we made most of our meals at the cabin. There isn't an indoor fireplace, nor an outdoor firepit which maybe isn't allowed due to fire restrictions, but sure would have been a bonus. Again, all informational. Being from Colorado, I'm sure there is a safety reason for no open fires. I find this to be a very hard property to review, as it was exactly as I expected, and perfect for our needs. However, if you have the romanticized "movie picture perfect" cabin expectation, you will be disappointed. If you want an "Alaskan cabin in the woods" experience, surrounded by nature's beauty, this is the place! We'd definitely stay again. Self-check-in was perfect.

Don’t miss this Gem !

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.

Rustic,

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
