About this property

Oakley Inn, 3 bedroom 2 bath, sleeps 8

Our cabin in the woods sits in a hilly forest only 7 minutes from downtown Talkeetna. We have an old trail going right thru our property, meaning you don't have to drive anywhere to enjoy miles and miles of fat tire biking, running, hiking, or viewing the aurora borealis. If you want miles of groomed cross country ski trails, the Talkeetna Lakes Park is a mile away and good for a whole trip's worth of fun. Our full kitchen means you don't have to go out, but a vacation to Talkeetna wouldn't be complete without hitting some of our restaurants, brewery, and pubs. And we're happy to inform you that Talkeetna now has a bike and ski rental shop, Talkeetna Gear Shop. We have some serious winter bike trails, too. It's still a secret that we have great cross country ski trails. So if you want a quiet town with plenty of activity in the winter, head this way. If you're coming in the summer, see how many of our local lakes you can swim in (at least 8 for us this year).

Loved the location, nice and quiet. Had everything we needed for our stay. Even a martini shaker and glass! The loft bedroom would have been a great place to stay, but not for us. We’re in late 60’s early 70’s. The stairs too steep for us. Thanks for a great stay!

We enjoyed our stay here. Tim was super responsive and flexible with us. The only thing I would like others to know that the two top bunks are pretty close to the ceiling (as they often are) so two people need to be ok with that situation. No big deal, just something to be aware of. Great stay, great host and great house.

Beautiful, Peaceful Stay

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! It was peaceful, serene, and the perfect place to relax. We had a wonderful stay during our Denali trip—especially when the sun came out and the clouds cleared just in time for us to see the stunning Denali peak! The location was ideal, close to charming downtown Talkeetna where we enjoyed delicious spinach garlic bread, pizza, ice cream, and scenic views of the river. A truly memorable experience!

Nice place

Good location for activities in Talkeetna. There were 6 adults in our group - the upstairs loft requires one to climb a ladder to get to that bed - if anyone has issues with climbing a ladder - and managing taking luggage up that ladder - this may not be the place for you. This is a quaint and comfortable place. I would recommend a keypad for entry instead of a lockbox (could be easy to lose the key). Overall, it is the location to activities in Talkeetna that make this a good choice. Take bug spray - mosquitos are fierce. Host communicates very well!

I've been enjoying Alaska since the 90's and it's not about to stop! I love the hiking and biking and swimming Alaska offers and I try to hit one of em daily.

Why they chose this property

Thoreau Drive is centrally location between Talkeetna Lakes Park and the trailhead at the end of Comsat Road. Both fun places to bike, hike, jog, ski, swim etc. Oh yeah, swimming can be a blast on the occasional hit sunny day!
