The house was great, close to town and walkable if you choose. It was a great start to our Alaskan adventure. We got to rub the mayors belly. Aurora (she's a cat), and perhaps the next mayor too - Wendall (a dog) is in the running... The town is charming and super close to all kinds of activities. We are part of the 30% club and could see Denali (Mt McKinley) for a few of the days we were there. I highly suggest a flight seeing tour with K2 - they were awesome. The house was set up well with 6 of us. The pull out couch was reported to be comfy (my 27 year old nephew slept on it). The other beds were comfy too. The coffee/tea provided was a nice touch. When we were there it was really warm outside and the upstairs did get hot even with a fan running - it was hard to draw air in, but that's more of a personal preference than a negative. There is only one closet in the house, so if you need to hang up anything its in one of the upstairs rooms. We did have contact with the host who was responsive during our stay. Overall, I would stay here again. We stayed in mid August and then headed on to a cruise out of Whittier. The weather was amazing while we were there - coolish in the AM and then warming up nicely as the day progressed. The people were super friendly that we met and it was interesting to hear stories of how people ended up there over the years. I wish I would have had time to hop the train and explore a bit more.

Very nice place and located close to Talkeetna within walking distance. Clean, lots of towels, all pots, pans and dishwasher. Great place to stay, very quiet except for a train whistle every once in a while.
