"Stay: Late-May, 2026 This place was fantastic! Perfect for what we were doing--a quick one-night stay in Talkeetna, and then on to Denali NP. This little cottage is every bit as quaint and charming as shown in the Expedia listing. The place is about 2.5 hours to Denali, so it's a great mid-stopping place to take in a great area. It's clean, well-appointed, aesthetically pleasing, and yet very utilitarian. If you're a couple just looking to "chill" for two or three days before you hit Denali...

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and well-equipped cabin."

Denali Crow's Nest Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"Giving this place 5 stars as it was great for our quick 2 night stay. But a few things to note, that I may have missed on booking details or because we got there late (past 10pm). Arrived 10:45pm, but the front office closed at 10pm. We checked in at Tako restaurant, and they were super helpful and easily able to speak to resort manager and got us checked in. I didn't realize parking lot was a few stories below cabin, so we got taken up in 4x4/Golf Cart, which was fine. Just be aware you will do many flights of stairs without using resort assistance. No problem for me and kids. I like the climbing :). We got to room and room was good. Heater was on, so room was really hot for me and my kids. No worries, we opened a few windows. We were ready for bed, and closed curtains in room, which have something to be desired for anyone needing "black out". Bring face cover if you are light sensitive at night sleeping. We had one for my son luckily! Adjacent restaurant had really good chips/salsa and variety of tacos. Got 2 free drinks at bar for stay. There is ice chest outside each room and available ice bags to keep any perishables cool. We didn't have anything, so didn't need to use. Very short drive to Denali Park entrance. May not have been exactly what I has imagined, but was very nice for our stay. My kids said it was "cute and cozy"!"
