About this property

Rustic Red Retreat & Sauna

  • Escape to Rustic Red Retreat, a cozy Alaskan cabin tucked among snow-covered spruce trees just minutes from Talkeetna. Whether you're heading out for a day of winter adventure, exploring Talkeetna, chasing the Northern Lights, or simply looking for a peaceful place to warm up and unwind, our cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic Alaska charm and modern comfort.
    Winter transforms Rustic Red Retreat into a snowy Alaskan getaway. Spend the day exploring the area by snowmachine, enjoying Talkeetna's winter activities, or taking in the incredible scenery, then come back to the cabin and warm up in the sauna.

Great tiny home to stay and feel like you are in the woods. The host has a great property and the cabin is tucked in well and away from their main house. Abu the husky was a star and we loved that he was there to greet us as promised.
