Enjoy gourmet cuisine and award-winning wines while gazing at the breathtaking Alaska Range.
At the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, it's all about the view. Built atop a high bluff, the lodge overlooks the Susitna River Valley and surveys the entire Alaska Range, with Denali (Mt. McKinley) right in the middle. On a clear day, the restaurants, viewing deck, and mountain side view rooms offer this same stunning panorama of river valleys and rugged peaks.
Divine Summer Evenings
On sunny summer evenings, linger on the viewing deck for hours, staring at the impressive Alaska Range which spans the horizon above the lodge’s sprawling front lawn. At the same time, enjoy top-notch cuisine from the lodge's renowned chef, paired with a selection from the award-winning wine list. The views are so wonderful, in fact, that local Alaskans love the lodge just as much as visitors. During your stay, you will likely meet someone from Alaska, or witness a wedding ceremony with North America's highest peak as the backdrop.
Embellished with Local Elements
This lodge tastefully blends upscale elegance with an authentic Alaskan twist, incorporating local materials. The interior of the main lodge was made from Kenai Peninsula timber, the staircase railing used Mat-Su Valley white spruce, and the centerpiece of the grand lobby, a 46-foot-high stone fireplace, was constructed with rocks gathered from the bed of Matanuska River.
Cozy up at Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge for a winter escape filled with northern lights, snowshoeing, and live music.
With five buildings spread over 35 acres, you will feel as if you are deep in the wilderness, even though the lodge is located just a few minutes from town.
Most visitors spend only one night here en route to Denali, but consider unwinding here for two nights—and sampling the many fun Talkeetna day tours.
Winter Bliss
The Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge is open for a slice of winter beginning March 1. Talkeetna is a tad quieter in the winter months, making it a perfect cozy getaway. But quieter doesn't mean there's a lack of activities! You can view the northern lights right from the deck (weather permitting), rent snowshoes, sleds, or snow tubes, and enjoy live music and exclusive tasting events.
