Just perfect in Talkeetna
We wanted to be close to town but far enough away.. we could have walked!!! The home is perfectly cleaned, nicely designed Hawaiian/Aloha spirit😁 Everything is well thought out - well stocked kitchen, easy on heat.. super sauna. We had great flights/etc to see Denali, relaxed at the house and went downtown easily.

The cabin was gorgeous with a very thoughtful layout and luxurious amenities. It was in a cute neighborhood walking distance to the village. Our stay was short but we got in a beautiful cross country ski, enjoyed clear views of Denali, and relaxed.

A wonderful property
This was our first trip to Alaska and my husband and I had no idea what to expect or even look for. So I have to admit that I was attracted to the Hale Kolea because of the name - we've been to Hawaii a few times and loved it. We only stayed a few nights and we were in and out quite a bit so we did not take advantage of the steam room (although it looked fabulous and instructions on use were well posted and very clear) or the nicely equipped kitchen aside from the coffee maker (thank you for the Hawaiian blend coffee!). But the cottage is so comfortable. The bed was fantastic and I just loved all of the artwork and the corresponding description of each in the binder on the dining table. There's a bulletin board with local business cards and maps, a basket of magazines/maps and that sort of thing, games and books. We were there in August, so it didn't get fully dark until after 10, and the sun did wake us up in the morning when it streamed through the windows - we forgot our eye masks! But this was not an issue since we needed to get up anyway. I do recommend that you bring some. The cottage is within walking distance to downtown, but we drove since we were on to other things before/after. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet given that there are other cabins/cottages next door and across the street. We plan on coming back as soon as we can and staying a few days longer so we can fully enjoy all that this lovely home offers.

After 2 weeks of camping, we were thrilled to rest and recover in this cozy, warm, well appointed cabin. Conveniently located near “town” but nice and quiet, even with construction going on across the street. Well appointed and just as described.

Nice cabin with all the amenities
The cabin was very well kept and the little personal touches made it very welcoming. The complimentary chocolates and the coffee were welcomed surprises. The bed was a bit too hard, but the rest of the decor was very nice. Great location right in town, but the neighborhood was very quiet during our stay.

Perfect Staycation Location
We stay in Talkeetna often, either in our camper at the campground or we rent a cabin. This is the BEST cabin we’ve ever had the pleasure of renting! And we’ve rented quite a few over 27 years here! Communication was spot on. Check in was easy. The decor of this cabin is impeccable with artwork from both Hawaii and local TKA artists! It was spotless and well appointed. I even made chocolate chip cookies in the cabin Saturday morning to bring to friends’ yurt for campfire night. We didn’t use the sauna but the next time we come we will be sure to make time for that! I think we have found our TKA staycation location for life (when we don’t have the camper In tow)! Mahalo for sharing such a true gem!

OMG!! Don't miss out at this amazing cabin!!
This was our first trip to Alaska, and we didn't know what to expect. We got way more than anticipated. I am OCD about cleaning, and this place was super clean. The ambiance was perfect. We got to see the Aurora Borealis Lights one night. It snowed a couple of times and it was exactly what we needed. We'll be back.
