We absolutely loved our stay at Chinook Winds! The owners went above and beyond by picking us up at the train station and even giving us a tour of the town, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
As owners of a travel agency, we usually stay in large corporate hotels and rarely book cabins or locally owned accommodations. This was a last-minute reservation, and it completely exceeded our expectations. Everything was exceptional—from the incredibly comfortable bed to the soft towels and great coffee. It was, without question, the best lodging we experienced during our Alaska trip.
The photos truly don't do this place justice. We can't say enough good things about Chinook Winds and will absolutely be recommending and booking it for our clients in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

The cabin we stayed in was idea for three people,
It was clean and comfortable. Also, close enough to the Main Street of Talkeetna. There is no closet space in the cabin, there are a few hooks on the wall as you come in the door. There is also a bench where you can sit and take off your shoes, and a place to set your shoes underneath. All in all, it’s a cozy little cabin.

The Owner was amazing. He picked us up from the train station, took us around the town to show us the locations that were open. He was accommodating to our requests and their son played in the snow with our son. This was a 5/5 experience. Would recommend to anyone.

Super cozy!

The owners of this property thought of every detail. As soon as we arrived, they had a personal note on the door super easy check-in and check out then we walk to are cabin and they thought of every detail from next to the bed on either side or both beds have somewhere you can plug-in. They thought of coffee with cream and sugar there even tea toaster. This place is amazing! They even thought of the smallest detail of a black makeup cloth. There’s never been one hotel yet that we’ve been at where they have a makeup cloth that’s black. I highly recommend this place.

The cabin was organized and well decorated. Everything in the kitchen was easy to find because of the forethought of the owners. Parking was easy and plentiful. It was a short walk to the town center or the airport. The stay was comfortable and most pleasant for my wife and I. We did not use the second floor which offered additional beds which would be great for a couple with children. The owners were nice to deal with and quite friendly when we met in person. We would definitely stay again.

I highly recommend this property for a family. We stayed with our family of four in the Hunter cabin. It was recently renovated, very clean, and well maintained. The beds and pillows were newer too. It had four twin beds upstairs and a queen bed in the downstairs area. The cabin also had a fully stocked kitchen with a stove top, mini fridge, and microwave. (Note: There is a grocery store at the turn off of 3 to Talkeetna, but it is quite expensive. If you plan to cook, I’d buy most of the food in Anchorage and any forgotten items there.) The property is very peaceful. I sat on the porch each morning with a cup of coffee and enjoyed the cool weather and quiet. The property is about 2.5 hours from Anchorage, Denali, and Palmer making is a good jump off point for a lot of things to do in the area. The cabins are also a 5 minute walk to Main Street. The only negative is the train track across the highway. The train whistle sounded at 11pm and 4:30am daily. It’s not a knock on the property because you probably hear it no matter where you stay in the area. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice duplex cabin in Talkeetna. We stayed here for one night on our way to Denali national park. It’s a family owned property and they took care for a nice stay.

This cabin was very well maintained and in a great location near all of Talkeetna’s shops and restaurants as well as the train depot and the airport from which flightseeing planes depart. Without air conditioning, it was a little warm in the four twin-bed loft but they proactively provided a fan to help. There was also a bit of train and plane noise but we all still slept fin.

Talkeetna Gem

We had booked a cabin here quite a while ago and it was our first time staying there. Our last night of our 2 1/2 week Alaskan vacation was wonderful. The cabin exceeded our expectations, very clean, plenty of quality towels, great TV, in cabin coffee provided and a well stocked kitchenette. The cabin was nicely decorated and had a relaxing front porch with chairs. The owners were so friendly and check-in and check-out was seamless. They told us about the free music in the park starting later that day and the band was great. We walked all around town, shopped and ate pizza at the Mile High pizza place. At checkout next morning the owner suggested we stop at the Denali viewing pull off down the road. We did and saw the most beautiful landscape of the Denali mountain right in Talkeetna!
