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.

The Eye

The property was great and the location is amazing. Right on the river and you feel like it is your own private part of the forest. House had plenty of room for all of us.

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.

This is the perfect rustic setting for an Alaskan adventure! Loved the beautiful river setting with Denali in the background! Talkeetna is a quaint little town with several dining options and little shops to explore! We would definitely recommend Eye of Denali for your next stay!

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.
