Rustic cabin on Christiansen Lake, Talkeetna, Alaska. Private, wooded setting. | Cabin in Talkeetna
1 Bedroom Cabin in Talkeetna
Jo’s Dry Cabin, is a rustic , one room, retreat for adults, at the edge of Alaskan wilderness, great for couples. The cabin sits on a rise, 150 meters from Christiansen Lake. The cabin measures 48sq. meters. A wood stove keeps the place warm and cheery on those chilly Alaska evenings. There is one queen bed. Limited housekeeping service is available. With microwave, refrigerator and dry sink, guests can prepare snacks inside, or opt to picnic and barbecue outside at the campfire ring. This is a “dry cabin”, which is Alaskan for “no plumbing”. Guests may obtain fresh well water at our main cabin. There’s a tiny little throne room behind the cabin for those moments when one needs some alone time. A bathroom, with flush toilet, is available at the main cabin. Shower (fee) is also at the main cabin, and is open to guests 24 hrs.
WiFi is not available at Jo’s Cabin.
Many guests enjoy a first time experience in our banya - our wood fired sauna. Wood is available for a fee. In summer, there is an outdoor shower next to the sauna. In winter, guests can have a roll in the snow, but most opt to shower at the main cabin! Down at the lake, our dock is nice place to soak up some sun, cast for trout, or launch your canoe. A shoreside campfire ring makes a nice place to relax in the evening. Grill those fresh trout, or melt s’mores - or both!
There are often moose, fox, rabbits, or the very occasional bear, about the property. In addition, we have a couple of dogs, and a passel of chickens. With all these critters, wild and semi domesticated, we cannot allow pets. Service animals are welcome, but must be kept under immediate control for their own safety.
Limitless miles of back country trails extend from the cabin door. In winter, cross country ski, strap on the snowshoes, or power off on your snow machine. There is also a maintained bike trail that heads into Talkeetna. Summertimes, hike those same trails to view wildlife, or reach a private fishing spot. For easy hiking, bird watching, or to fill up your berry basket, Talkeetna Lakes Park, just 1K away, has well maintained and mapped walking trails which meander round the lake chain.Talkeetna is about 8K away. The bike trail along Talkeetna Spur Rd heads right into town. Stop along the way to visit our beautiful public library. For a great view of Denali and the Alaska Mountain Range, pause at the overlook, or turn in at the Talkeetna Lodge and pair dinner and drinks with a magnificent from the deck. 🏔️. There are many little eateries downtown. We even have a famous brewery. Visitors can find also river guides, canopy adventures, and guides for back country adventures all up and down Main Street. The Alaska Railroad stops in Talkeetna. Train travel through Alaska is a relaxing way to view great wilderness and wildlife. Weather permitting - always a consideration here in Alaska - flightseeing services from Talkeetna Airport carry visitors over to The Great One - Denali.
Transportation to and from downtown Talkeetna, Anchorage hotels, or the Ted Stevens International Airport, is available.
