We had a great stay at the Chinook Bear. The place was very clean, tidy, and had everything that we could have asked for. Only a mile away from the town center, it made for an easy walk or very fast drive. We would definitely stay again!

It was set in a quiet location. We appreciated the cleanliness and secluded setting. It was still very close to downtown Talkeetna so you had lots of options of what to do based on the weather.

Overnight in Talkeetna

The place was gorgeous. It is tight for four adults. The upstairs was very spacious and relaxing but the down stairs with the bed out made for tight quarters.

Cozy, Clean and Convenient

We booked this for our first night in Alaska. Our host, Lynn, was super helpful as we prepared for our stay - providing suggestions for places to visit and dine. The property was immaculate and extremely comfortable. Wish we could stay longer!! Thank you for a fantastic experience :)

Great rental

Great location to explore the surrounding areas. Loved the upstairs bedroom with a very comfortable bed for sleeping. Would recommend going to Denali brewing that’s out of town a bit. Great atmosphere along with great food and beers. All in all a great experience with the Vrbo rental.

Talkeetna Surprise

I was pleasantly surprised at the attention to details in this rental cabin. Plush towels, nice linen, and spotless. On top of that very close to downtown. Thank you for directing this lost sole over the phone!

A nice place to stay near Denali

This was our place to stay while visiting the Denali area. It is a wonderful house, well maintained, very clean, well equipped, and a very restful and enjoyable setting. Talkeetna is a quaint little town with local shops and restaurants. Near the river and a nice place to hike. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Lyn

After 33 years of living in a Bush village in the Arctic Circle, Lyn has found her new home in Talkeetna. Running a Lodge in a small community has been my life and I would love to offer travelers a chance to visit Alaska.

Why they chose this property

Rural Alaska needs air travel and the cabins are next to the Talkeetna airport where you can watch deHavilland Beaver and Otters fly passengers to Mt. Denali.
