The Marlin House in Talkeetna

A lovely small home in the quaint town of Talkeetna Alaska. I started this project hoping to retire there but as we all know, things do change. I have spent the better part of 4 years building this home and trying to make it the best around. It offers 1 bedroom with a king sized bed, a sofa sleeper for 2, full kitchen, full bath with laundry and free wi-fi. There are plenty of activities in the area including Fishing, Hunting, Sightseeing, Hiking and Biking. Talkeetna's restaurants and pubs are some of the best around including Denali Brewing which is the second largest brewery in Alaska and only a 15 minute walk away from the house.

This was a great cabin for a couple or small family, just close enough to town and far enough out to be quiet.

Lovely cabin in Talkeetna, AK
We enjoyed our stay in the wonderful cabin in Talkeenta. It was very well appointed and comfortable. It was very conveniently located to quaint downtown Talkeetna. The owner, Jared, was quick to answer any questions and was very helpful. If we are ever in Talkeetna, AK we will definitely stay here again!

Stopover at Talkeetna
Jared’s immaculate and comfortable home was the perfect stopping point for us on our way to Denali. His house was easy to find. Didn’t have time to explore Talkeetna but looks fun.

We had lots of room and we were close to town but in a quiet place without train or plane noise. The washer and dryer were handy, and the host provided much-appreciated extra service in getting an item back to us that we left. My Keurig-dependent wife struggled a bit to remember how to make coffee the old-fashioned way, but otherwise we had everything we needed. 5 stars.

Great cabin and location!
Cabin was clean and good sized. We walked to to town for dinner and live music. Our two teens enjoyed not having to share a bed (pull out couch and hide a bed ottoman in living room). Private location in the woods. Will book again in the future!

Great stay in Talkeetna
Loved our stay here. Property is clean and has everything you might need. There is a king bed in the bedroom. It also has a queen sized and a twin sized sleeper sofa available for extra guests and plenty of extra linens. Blackout shades in all areas. Cannot think of anything else this place would need. There is even pump hand soaps at all sinks. Great stay!

Quiet Retreat
This rental was just what we needed, a quiet, comfortable, clean stay in Talkeetna. Convenient to nearby amenities. It's a bit of a drive as a stop before Denali, we got up very early to drive up, so something to keep in mind. The town is quaint, with a great view of the Alaska Mountain Range. I would definitely recommend this rental. The only thing really missing was that I did not find specific check-out instructions, like trash disposal, etc. unless I missed it. Great property, great location!!

Great stay
Probably the nicest VRBO I’ve stayed in. Clean and extremely well stocked. They thought of everything! Full kitchen was super convenient, bathroom was great. Plenty of linens. Bonus pullout bed in the ottoman which we didn’t discover until our last day. Would stay here again if we come back to Talkeetna. Recommend Sheldon Air for Denali flight and Mile High Pizza, Burger Barn, Conscious Coffee, and Candy Breakfast for eating.

Clean, cute, great location!
Only stayed for one night, but would stay again in a heartbeat. Unit was clean, new, beautiful! Enough space for four people, easy. Bathroom was large. Bedroom has a king bed. Couch has a pull out bed and so does the ottoman. That was a nice touch as two of the guests could sleep separately. It was only a 15-20 minute walk to downtown Talkeetna (we're slow walkers!). One of my friend's left her make up bag at the unit. The owner promptly contacted me to try to arrange to get it back which I thought was above and beyond. Overall, would stay here again!!

Great cozy cabin in Talkeetna!
During our 9-day stay in Alaska, this was our favorite place we stayed. The cabin was super cozy, quiet, well appointed, with a super king bed. Best of all, a nice living area where we could stretch out and relax. Big TV, dining table and really nice kitchen. Best of all, the pillows were great and not like the flat pancake ones in hotel rooms. We would stay here again for sure!

Talkeetna
We had a great stay and the reason why I gave a lower overall was because our room wasn’t clean when we got it due to a mixup. This was resolved after calling and having someone come in to straighten up. We were happy that they were quick to fix up everything and we would stay there again.

Nice property in the woods. No closets to store the cleaning and maintenance items so they were thrown up on refrigerator. It was well supplied though. Outside needed some maintenance too. Overall we liked it and was good value for the area. Thank you!
