This was our second time there and we were at home. People in the area are really friendly and just nice. The cabin is clean, it has everything you need and I love that they have a gas stove. It's so quiet and as writers, it gives us time to get away from a large city and write, read a book or just sleep!! ##### Marie V. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline K.

It had a very well thought out layout for two people staying. The bed was very comfortable. The shades worked well for long day light hours. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the sauna. We did not have a car and the owners were able to recommend 'taxi' drivers to us. It was an easy walk for us to the downtown for food, to the boat launch for Mahay's jet boat rides and to K2 for flightseeing of Denali. Talkeetna is a cute little town and we wished we staying longer than 3 days. A special thanks to the owners and local contact who were very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jean L.

So I have to admit that I was attracted to the Hale Kolea because of the name - we've been to Hawaii a few times and loved it. We only stayed a few nights and we were in and out quite a bit so we did not take advantage of the steam room (although it looked fabulous and instructions on use were well posted and very clear) or the nicely equipped kitchen aside from the coffee maker (thank you for the Hawaiian blend coffee!). But the cottage is so comfortable. The bed was fantastic and I just loved all of the artwork and the corresponding description of each in the binder on the dining table. There's a bulletin board with local business cards and maps, a basket of magazines/maps and that sort of thing, games and books. We were there in August, so it didn't get fully dark until after 10, and the sun did wake us up in the morning when it streamed through the windows - we forgot our eye masks! But this was not an issue since we needed to get up anyway. I do recommend that you bring some. The cottage is within walking distance to downtown, but we drove since we were on to other things before/after. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet given that there are other cabins/cottages next door and across the street. We plan on coming back as soon as we can and staying a few days longer so we can fully enjoy all that this lovely home offers. ##### Sue L.
