Tri-River Retreat + Bunkhouse, only 5 min from downtown Talkeetna!
We are so happy to host you at this mountainside retreat. We have poured our hearts into creating this relaxing getaway.
Only a few miles from downtown Talkeetna & just a 1/4 mile from the Talkeetna Lakes trail system. You will find miles of running, biking, and skiing trails. Nestled on over an acre, you have a ton of privacy to get away and relax.
Built in 2023, this cozy 700 sq ft cabin has top-of-the-line amenities like heated tile floors, a heated towel rack, bidet, back-lit mirror, an in-unit washer & dryer, a fully stocked kitchen, solid wood doors, and custom lighting. This home is a year-round retreat with a spacious arctic entryway to hang up your skis and gear after hitting the trails.
Outside you will find over 500 sq ft of south-facing deck to soak up the afternoon sunshine! Our custom home has a 6-foot overhang allowing you covered seating outside so you can get fresh air and stay dry no matter the weather. BBQ, Firepit, and yard games are all on-site.
Brand new sauna built fall of 2024 allows for you to relax after a day of exploring. The sauna seats 6 and is located right off the back deck of the main cabin.
Minimal light pollution in the area makes our cabin an awesome spot for fall/winter star gazing and northern lights viewing under the right conditions.
There is plenty of space for your group to park and bring up ATV's, boats, or snow machines if you plan to recreate in the area. The third "bedroom" is a second smaller dry cabin on the property we call the bunkhouse. The bunkhouse has a much more rustic feel with a bunk bed, futon, wood stove, and small fridge.
**The main cabin comfortably sleeps up to 5 adults and the bunk house sleeps up to 4 - Max capacity for the entire property is 9 people. 9 adults is pretty cozy, and keep in mind there is only 1 bathroom.**

ATTENTION WINTER GUESTS - The bunk house's main heat source is a wood stove. There is a back up electrical space heater as well. If you are not comfortable operating a wood stove this may not be the best option for your stay.

Loved our stay in Talkeetna! The place was very clean, and really nice to have the extra bunk house-and loved the bunkhouse decorations! Location was great-near the town and very close to the XYZ lakes. Highly recommend!
It was an excellent place to stay! Clean, cozy, and fully prepared for travelers looking for a home away from home. And the Sauna is a huge bonus!

This was a tough one to write a review for. The cabin is clean and cozy. The communication with the host was great throughout. It has the basics, and it is very close to town by car. However,
Cool little cabin near Talkeetna. We had never been here before but it was a perfect base as we explored the area and took a flight to Denali. Host have a good setup here. The water pressure is weak in the shower which may be fixable with a new shower head but its Alaska and any trip to AK you should be prepared for an adventure. Would stay here again.
The property was very well thought out and perfect for our two night stay to explore the area. Nicely decorated, vaulted ceiling made it feel spacious, heated floor and the fans kept the space at a good temperature for our cool rainy days. We enjoyed being close to hiking and biking trails (walking distance) and near Talkeetna town for dining options. Definitely recommend especially for two couples or a small family.
Great place for adult family of 7. Nice fire pit and loved the sauna. Wish we had more time to enjoy the place. Steps were pretty steep to the loft bedroom so no one up there with mobility problems. Super clean and new with nice common area. Loved it.
We had a lovely week and would book again in the future. The location was very cozy and quiet, and in proximity to the trails at X,Y, and Z lakes. The kitchen was well-equipped, having the laundry on-site was great, and we absolutely enjoyed the Sauna!
Amazing home and bunkhouse in the woods but close to town! We had 2 couples in the main home and 3 adult kids in the bunkhouse comfortably. There was plenty of space for all of us to hang out together in the living room / kitchen area during the evening watching movies and playing cards. Since we only spent one night, I really appreciated the local coffee beans provided for the next morning! Understandably, the foldout futon in the bunkhouse was a little uncomfortable for our 6 foot young adult son, but likely would be perfect for children. Our kids enjoyed having their own space, and we would've taken advantage of more had the weather been nice and we stayed longer. I absolutely recommend this home, and connecting with Liz both when I booked and again when we stayed was perfect!
This was a very cute place, nice and clean. One watch out is during Summer with midnight sun, there is not enough black out curtains. The living room, kitchen and bathroom have no shades/curtains so the loft bed is tough to sleep. The mosquitoes were also thick so bring bug spray. The host was great and very responsive!
We had a wonderful stay at Liz’s cabin in Talkeetna. Great location with X&Y lakes right across the street. The cabin the beautiful with modern conveniences, can’t wait to come back again!
Really enjoyed this cozy spot! Comfortable beds, lovely linens and very updated amenities and appliances. We lacked nothing and had a wonderful stay. Extremely responsive owner.
We absolutely loved our stay in this charming cabin near Talkeetna. The interior is surprisingly spacious, making it perfect for gathering with a large group, whether you’re playing the fun games that come with it or relaxing with a movie. We had a great time with the kids around the fire pit, making s’mores and enjoying the outdoors. The hosts thoughtfully provide firewood and an axe, which made it easy to get a fire going. The bunkhouse is especially cozy, with a rustic design that feels like stepping into a classic lumberjack cabin. Worried about the bears? There’s plenty of bear spray for your protection in both the main house and the bunkhouse. We would definitely recommend staying here!
Liz's place had it all - great location to the bike trail/town, space for 2 families with kids, super comfortable amenities, indoor games and puzzles and outside firepit. Great communication with Liz, too. We'd definitely stay again!
