Great getaway

It was a very cute, clean, getaway spot! Jim was very nice host and we loved the tiny house. We had a fire made s’mores, played cards, and visited, exactly what we needed to start off our summer break!

Absolute serenity

Jim's spot was the perfect place to call home while exploring Talkeetna. Not too far from the town but also so secluded and quiet. Everything was as described - we even were welcomed by homemade brownies. Jim and his pup were super friendly and kind. Falling asleep surrounded by woods is a peace like none other.

Beautiful Cabin

This cabin is just as described! Tucked back in the beautiful woods of Alaska. Quiet and spacious. I was also greeted with freshly baked brownies on arrival. This is the perfect homestead and Alaska cabin experience!

Described as is, we were ready for the type of stay. A small fridge would have been nice, but we luckily had a cooler and the ability to get ice. A little sitting/dining area would have been a bonus, but we made do with the card table! We'd gladly stay again!

Off the beaten path bliss

If you want to stay off the beaten path in the woods, where are you wake up to the sounds of multiple songbirds this is the place for you. The cabin was sweet and clean, and the host were very accommodating and friendly. Two things would be nice to have a heads up for especially those of us that are aging, and that is the stairs/ladder to the loft could be a little challenging for some, and not everyone is keen on composting toilets. But overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Cozy little cabin!

We really liked this off grid cabin! Super quick to heat up the place with the lil wood stove, very efficient. Cooking breakfast and making coffee was easy even in the small space, had everything you need! Water in shower never got hot but warm enough. Wifi didn't work but we didn't use it anyways. Very yummy complimentary brownies:) we felt very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Cool location up in the trees about 25min drive from downtown talkeetna!

There’s just not enough words that can describe this beautiful piece of peace. Jim and his wife were so kind. Brownies were left on the counter, cabin was warm, whole unit was clean, cozy and welcoming. The views were amazing and with all the land we spent an entire day snow shoeing and exploring. Was exactly what we needed to reset from the city and connect with nature again. 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting that true cabin feel with the luxury of running warm water! Will go back again and ask Jim about a tour around his homestead. :)

The listing did not mention that he had more than one cabin. We arrived late in the evening which made it challenging to find. It is definitely off the beaten path and would probably be a bit easier to find during the day. When we arrived at we thought was our cabin we put in the door code that was provided and walked in and much to our surprise there was another guest there. I'm sure we scared her death walking in and we were surprised by someone else being there. The other guest told us promptly to leave and we were confused because we thought we had booked for the night. We called the owner and left a voice mail. As we were getting ready to pull out he walks up and I asked him why someone else was staying on a night we booked. He said you were supposed to be at the other cabin (Which there was no mention of 2 cabins). Then I asked why he would provide the same code for both cabins? That didn't seem overly safe to me. He really didn't provide me with answer. After we finally did get in our cabin, we found the "beds" were in a loft up a steep ladder and they were just 2 cushions on the floor. The larger one was made up but the smaller one was not. Sheets were laying on the stairs platform. Making up a bed was the last thing we wanted to do after traveling all day and getting there after dark. If you have more than 2 people staying in the loft, be ready for no sleep. You hear every creak in the floor every time someone turns over. not my favorite stay!

Beware

Pictures are deceiving. There is no privacy or seclusion. The owner lives about 50 feet away. There are no window coverings for privacy, & no fire pit. He let his dog run at us and our dog which was unnerving since we didn't know the dog or his temperament. His dog looked emaciated. He never controlled his dog during our conversation, allowing his dog to accost our dog and try to dominate our dog continually. My husband heard him say 'submit' several times during this interaction while smiling. When we finally said that was enough, his attempts to control his dog were cruel; dragging him by his front leg, tail, scruff and mouth until the dog yelped in pain each time. When he left to return to his cabin, he called the dog, and the dog listened. This let us know that he could have redirected his dog at any time but didn't. We came for peace and relaxation. After this interaction, our stress level went through the roof. We knew there would be no privacy or relaxation for us or our dog. We chose to leave immediately. We would not have rented this cabin knowing how close the owner was and there would be no privacy. The behavior of the owner and how he allowed his dog to behave have tainted our feelings about renting a cabin ever again.

Modern amenities in a backcountry setting

A special place at the end of the road that gives you a taste of rural Alaska but is still close to the brewery, pizza, gas, etc and the road to Talkeetna. Owners were extremely personable and hospitable - even brought over fresh backed pie and cake. The cabin was clean and cozy and had all modern appliances.

Quiet, peaceful, very clean and efficient cabin. Wonderful hosts!

This is the most clean and efficient cabin! Cozy and peaceful. The bedroom even had blackout cellular shades! A peony flower was on the counter for us with dessert when we arrived, and the cabin was warm (on a rainy day) thanks to the woodstove. We took a long bike ride from the cabin and enjoyed "being off the grid". Thanks hosts! We truly appreciated our stay here.!

Fantastic stay! Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

This property was awesome! Only there for about 15 hours but the tiny house was perfect for us (a young couple). Definitely wish we had had more time there to explore and sit outside more!! Jim was great to communicate with and the cabin had everything we needed, including berry pie! Nice hot shower and all the amenities. Great experience! Will be remembering this location the next time we come to Talkeetna.

Off the grid stay

This cabin was fun to stay in because it allowed me to have an off the grid feel, with no to little need of electricity or feel free to use the solar power with battery back up. The host homesteads the property and can help with any questions you might have. If your interested in experiencing an eco friendly homestead in Talkeetna, Alaska, this is a must see. If not for that, then stay a night for the best berry pie made from local picked fruit that grows on property! I recommend an all wheel or front wheel drive for the dirt road to access the property.

Off Grid Tiny House Unique Charm

We stayed at Susitna North and absolutely enjoyed our stay. The 3 feet of snow was perfectly plowed, the wood was so perfect and dry it started easier than the cardboard and the house was perfectly clean and appointed for anyone who enjoys being off the grid! My 18yr old daughter loved it. We were sad to leave. We also enjoyed meeting "Wing" the owner who left us an incredible wild berry cobbler. I look forward to returning for a longer stay.

Charming cabin, great hosts!

I booked this cabin in order to ski the Talkeetna, Oosik Classic. It was a perfect spot for me and my dogs! It was quiet, peaceful and comfortable. My hosts were attentive to my every need and there was pie on the counter for my arrival! I would recommend this place to travelers looking to get away from it all for a real Alaskan experience.
