Chinook Wind Cabins

My wife and I loved staying at the Chinook Wind Cabins for our one night stay in Talkeetna. The place was extremely clean and had everything we could have needed for our time there. I was especially pleased with the water pressure in the bathroom as that can make or break a stay! It was also very conveniently located with only a short walk to the main drag in town. I would definitely recommend it and will not think twice about staying there in the future.

We stayed in the Foraker and The Hunter cabins. They are lovely. Beautifully appointed - the very friendly owners took great care in every amenity. From the high quality towels, and bathroom features to the great bar kitchen with everything you’ll need. We only stayed one night per our itinerary but wished we’d used Chinook Cabins as the base for our travel. We would definitely recommend and plan to return on our next trip.

Cabins are central to the small downtown area. Mike, the host, gave us a brief tour of downtown after collecting us from the rail depot. We had booked the only available room, the Forager, which cost a little more than the smaller cabins but had a great area upstairs with four single beds. Mike provided great local information. Central to activities.

This cabin was extremely clean, cutely decorated and meticulously maintained! We had everything we needed and enjoyed the location in the quaint town of Talkeetna. Mike and Tracy are excellent hosts and we would definitely stay here again on our next trip to beautiful Alaska!

This was our best stay in Alaska! From the linens to the water pressure this little cabin was well appointed and super comfortable. Immaculately clean and modern the decor was perfect and just steps from downtown Talkeetna. I would definitely recommend a stay here!

We stayed 2 nights at these cabins in mid March. They are absolutely the coziest and cleanest cabins! The owners went above and beyond to accommodate us. Our group had 6 of the cabins rented and all were great. Quality towels, coffee maker and coffee , microwave and refrigerator. Very well stocked and the beds were so comfortable- you didn’t want to leave!! Great place to stay !

We stayed two nights at the Chinook Wind Cabins last week, and had a very good experience! The cabin was updated, very clean, had everything we needed, and the location was perfect! Very walkable for Talkeetna, easy to explore on foot once we parked. Our cabin had a queen bed on the main floor and four twin beds on the second level, perfect for our small family group. Highly recommend!

Wow, what a treat!! I would describe it as a modern cabin. My husband & I spent the night as we drove from Fairbanks to Anchorage. Everything was easy, from checking in & out as well as walking out to explore downtown.

Most importantly Clean and safe! Very comfortable updated and well maintained! Nice porch, close to everything you want to do shop, eat,drink, train, or adventure! Easy check in and out We could have stayed longer , highly recommend

Mike and Tracey were great hosts. Cabin was outstanding re location and convenience. The Cabins are meticulously maintained and provide all the comforts needed. Its a two minute walk to get on the main drag of restaurants, ice cream, shops and connections for any planned activities. My wife and I had a stellar stay as our first lodgeing in Alaska and set the tone and the standard for the rest of the trip. Outstanding and highly recommended.

Our cabin was cute, clean, modern, and within walking distance to downtown Talkeetna. Enjoyed long sunlit day and night on comfortable porch. Saw a moose and two calves from our porch! Easy and friendly check in and check out. Highly recommend.

My adult son and I stayed here while Talkeetna. The cabin was very efficient, clean and had everything we needed. Heater, fan, small kitchen, bathroom was great. I enjoyed that the TV was already sit up with apps so we didn't have to log in with our own account. The shower was HOT! And everything is within walking distance! Mike even picked us up at the train station and dropped us off for our bus pickup! Highly recommend as a place to stay and would visit again!

The owners of Chinook Wind Cabins were extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome. The cabins are immaculate and are very modern, complete with a kitchen and all of the kitchenware needed to prepare a meal. It is within walking distance of the shops and restaurants of Talkeetna. Absolutely loved this place and highly recommend it.

These cabins are like no other cabin I've ever stayed in. My husband and I stayed in the Denali, it was new, modern and immaculate! The beds were so comfortable and there was even a front porch. It is a walk to everything (which are primarily eateries and gift shops). It was really lovely...to those who complained about blackout shades, you came to AK, the land of the midnight sun...you knew it wouldn't get dark, so next time bring your own mask...duh!

Bathroom door was broken, no blackout curtains, loud train noise at midnight. Oh, did I mention we got a free DOWN grade to single beds as they gave the double queen beds cabin we booked to someone else? We were trying to argue with the owners, but they said that's the last room they have, they can't do anything about it even tho we made a RESERVATION and there was no complimentary refund for the inconvenience they caused us! It's a horrible experience! Boyfriend and I had to sleep in single beds on our vacation!! I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

A nice family run nightly rental cabin(s). The owner is incredibly friendly and goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and at home. They have a series of cabins that will sleep 4-6 people, some with kitchenettes and some with kitchens. This is a comfortable place to stay while in Talkeetna. It is quite cozy and is much nicer and more inviting than other places I've stayed in Talkeetna. It is located very close to the heart of town but being a block off Main Street gives it a quiet feel even though it is right on the highway. I recommend Chinook Wind Cabins if you are going to be spending time in Talkeetna.

We visited Alaska for the first time. We stayed in four different locations. Chinook Wind was the best! The beds were very comfortable, the furnishing were clean and well taken care of. The kitchen area was nice and included some nice extras like hot chocolate. The towels were super fluffy. The only real downside was the Alaska train comes through at 12 and 5 am.

Clean spacious cabins with kitchenettes. Great location at the edge of downtown, easy access to all of TKA. Friendly gracious owner who picked us up at train depot and gave us a tour of town. We loved staying here, would highly recommend.

This is a family run hotel right outside of town. The real benefits are that you are not in town - hence it is quieter and that you can stay in your own house or in a room with shared bathrooms. The rooms are fine but nothing fancy. Just some beds. Bring your own eye mask in summer. They do not have blackout shades.
