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.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Talkeetna cabin

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!
