Wonderful stay!

It is obvious that Staci takes great pride in hosting. The room was cute and comfortable. Staci nailed the lodge vibe! The sheets smelled nice and the towels were fluffy and smelled fresh too. The amenities were thoughtful. We enjoyed the cofee,hot chocolate, and popcorn. Unfortunately, we did not have time to play any of the games provided due to our short stay. The deck was amazing! We enjoyed having the huge deck and firepit to ourselves. I really did feel lost in the woods here.

Stayed in the lodge, which has a few rooms with a shared kitchen and living room. Coffee, water, ice and snacks were provided. Room was very clean and comfortable. The lodge and cabins are located on a gravel road a few minutes from the main part of town. The setting was peaceful and just a short drive to town or the air taxi services. Highly recommend!

Meandering Moose Lodging is place to choose if you want to stay in a quiet place surrounded by Nature, the Cabins are beautifully decorated in a truly Alaskan style taking care of every single detail with a really good taste.
Cabins are pristine with fresh towels and lineen that really smell clean!! the beds are amazingly comfortable exactly what you need after an adventure long day
They have everything refrigerador, microwave, coffee maker and delicious snacks, (my favorite popcorn 😋) coffee and water.
The bathroom is sparkling clean with nice hot shower.
Stacey, the host is very charming and attentive, she will help you in every possible way to make your stay in Talkeetna unforgettable and of course to make you feeling at home.
I had an awesome time at the Lodge and I am very grateful for all the care and help they gave to me to have a lovely stay in beautiful Talkeetna 💗

Pretty little cabin

Cute little cabin in a peaceful and wooded location. Thoughtfully equipped with all you’d need for a short stay. The bed was difficult to get into because there was only 12” from the wall to the side of the bed so it was a problem because with both have mobility limitations. Should be fine if you’re younger.

A wonderful lodge. Quiet rooms; well stocked kitchen as far as utensils, dishes and refrigerator space. Has a bbq if choose not to go out for dinner. Would have enjoyed one of the two patios with fire pits but rained during our stay. House has very nice decorations and plenty of seating in main room
It is a bit far from Talkeetna so must use your car.

Make sure you know what you are booking. This property is way off the beaten path down a dirt road with no cell service. They have a small lodge and a few cabins. Every room is different. Our cabin ended up being dry, which I did not realize when booking. We had a private bathroom, but it was in a different building. The cabin was nice, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was inconvenient and could have been cleaner. The owners were very pleasant.

Original booking was for a lodge room but owners upgraded me to a cabin at no extra cost. Super cute cabin. No frills but comfortable. It is not within walking distance of Talkeetna, so I do recommend having a vehicle. There is a dog kennel somewhere in the neighborhood with lots of barking but did quiet down in the night and had no trouble sleeping. Hosts were very nice. I would absolutely recommend for a quick stay at an affordable price.

It was VERY cute and clean.
However, it did not have a bathroom in the cabin which was NOT in bold print anywhere in the description so we didn't find out until we checked in. We had to walk to a separate building - and a bear had been spotted a few weeks earlier.
I need to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom so that was a major issue.

The hotel has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and microwaveable popcorn is available for guests. There’s a lovely porch to sit on and relax as well as a huge shared living room for guests. We stayed in the suite so we had access to our own private bathroom and washer and dryer. The Meandering Moose is conveniently located as we only traveled a couple minutes for the glacier plane excursion.

Loved the fact that the lodge felt remote but was still close to Talkeetna. It was difficult to get a nice photo of the property due to clutter around it.
