Fodor's Expert Review Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge
23601 Talkeetna Spur Rd., Talkeetna, Alaska, USA
This lodge sits on a choice spot with great hiking trails and splendid views of Denali. The views can be seen from the enormous outdoor dining deck, the café, and the fine-dining restaurant as well as the large lobby, mountainside rooms in the main lodge, and the third-story suites. Other rooms in the lodge and surrounding cabins are modern and simple, with an emphasis on the views, not amenities or size. The lobby has comfortable seating, a huge river-rock fireplace, and an espresso bar. The tour desk can arrange flightseeing, river trips, or any other Alaskan adventure you can imagine.
PROS
- tremendous views of Denali on clear days and of forests on rainy ones
- comfortable rooms
- dining on-site
CONS
- 2 miles from Talkeetna's town center
- none of Talkeetna's charm
- no air-conditioning
