About this property

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.

We stayed here July 21-23, 2025. It was perfect for us. Very very clean and comfortable. We had a rental vehicle so we drove to the main area of town for shopping, eating etc but walking there is do-able also. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect cozy cabin in Talkeetna

This was exactly what we were looking for - a cozy cabin close enough to everything in Talkeetna. We were only here one night and wish we’d been able to stay longer.

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

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!
