All three generations found something wonderful about the Rusty Salmon Lake House. We loved sitting on the comfortable deck watching the birds and looking at the lake. We used the canoe and kayaks to tool around the lake and fished from the dock as well. The house was full of so much interesting Alaska decor for us to explore. We used the house as a jumping off point to go visit Denali National Park, but we enjoyed just staying at the house and relaxing at the lake as well. We would definitely recommend this listing to anyone looking to stay in the Talkeetna area. ##### Mari H.

What a lovely setting to have a girls weekend celebrating some August birthdays. We could barely tear ourselves away from the inviting place to go hiking. We all marveled at the unique Alaskan flavor of the home. It felt like we were at a friends place. So cozy and the best views of the lake kept us at such a relaxed state of being. All 3 of us really enjoyed the super stocked kitchen for the fancy meals we made. It wasn’t missing anything. Overall a fabulous place. We hope to come back in the winter. ##### Sarah W.
