Talkeetna Lake Retreat

We had such a fantastic time here! The hot tub and sauna, along with the outdoor showers, were so nice after traveling. The campground is well laid out and felt safe, and the spots were relatively private. We really wish we had had time to take advantage of the kayaks at the lake! It was very picturesque though. I also really appreciated the well stocked common area with some items for sale. Jessica and her family were also super nice and helpful! They had great recommendations.

The Irene came over to say hi and showed us sind. She was very nice. There was minor road noise since it's so close to the highway, but it was clean, comfortable, and sunset at the lake was beautiful

Relaxing retreat!

We camped during the late summer in our sprinter van. They don’t have electric yet but they will very soon. It’s a lovely place tucked away but close enough to town. They have truly put love, blood sweat and tears into making this a lovely place to stay. Jessica is a charming host! They have some beautiful and even hilly hiking trails right around the place that could keep you busy for a while. The kayaks are fun paddle to around the lake. The hot tub was such a lovely bonus addition. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful, well appointed Hipcamp

The RV sites were spacious, unlike most private RV camps in Alaska, which is a very nice thing. They include a picnic table with umbrella. In the near future there will be 50/30/20 amp service, also unusual for a Hipcamp. An outhouse and outdoor shower are nearby, along with a communal fire pit with comfy chairs surrounding it. A short walk away is the clubhouse with flush toilet and shower. All kinds of reasonably priced items (smores, coffee, coffee mugs, ball caps, etc.) are for sale in the clubhouse. For an additional fee, time in a sauna or a hot tub is available. The property is a adjacent to a small lake, and the camp includes free use of a rowboat, canoe or kayaks to paddle around the lake. All in all quite a beautiful place. There may be some road noise, but it didn't bother us.

Beautiful campground

6 m campervan ·

Beautiful campground! Large lots with picnic tables with umbrella, large community fire pit, super clean restrooms & shower areas. We did a hot tub and a sauna add on - both were great, but I would especially recommend the hot tub! We also enjoyed kayaking on the lake! Everything was perfectly thought out and the host was so friendly and helpful.. We would definitely rent here again.

The property is beautiful! It's convenient location and attention to detail makes this place a great stay. Jessica is super kind and has amazing attention to detail with the decor, beauty, and great flow of the property she designed for guests! We were able to take our dog there with lots of space to enjoy walks in a gorgeous woods setting right on the lake! The amenities are off the charts, the sites are spacious and private and we really enjoyed our short stay! We checked in late and left early and it was easy to use the app. She even has a la carte options like a propane fireplace, sauna, hot tub and kayaks available to all guests....absolutely incredible, highly recommend and we will stay again!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this campground with our RV. We felt safe and enjoyed plenty of privacy. Although it’s a newer campground and not all amenities (power/water) were yet available, we still had a fantastic time kayaking on the lake and truly appreciated the warm hospitality of our host.

We had such a great time camping. The hot tub, ax throwing, lake views were well worth the drive. We can’t wait to plan a longer trip next year so we can get use of the kayaks!

This is a lovely campground not far from town. Jessica is a wonderful host and you can see the work that is going into making the property even better. The sites are a good size with gas fire pits. The lake is lovely for a paddle and a swim and the extra little bits like the hot tub, sauna and club house make it a great stay.

Don't miss this sweet little retreat in Talkeetna Alaska. A family owned and operated business, it is tucked in the trees beside a lake surrounded by the beauty of Alaskan nature. We appreciated all the little touches and ammendeties such as an outside toilet, showers, changing rooms and wash up station that made our stay easy and enjoyable. As campers with a little teardrop trailer, we spent a large part of our time outdoors and loved the umbrella topped picnic table and propane operated fire pit that were great in sun and rain. The hosts were more than gracious and gave us great support as needed. This little gem is a great place for individuals and families with plenty of little areas to relax in comfy chairs, kayak while listening to the loons on the lake, or take off for a jaunt to the nearby town of Talkeetna. There is a grocery store and gas station less than a mile away which was so convenient. Probably our favorite amendity was the hot tub where we relaxed while overlooking the lake. Though we did not use the sauna, it was great to know it was there especially when the weather turned nippy.

This is a wonderful find! Jessica is so kind and the clubhouse and shower are immaculate. The kids loved the paddleboat and there is a great community fire pit we didn't get to use. Fantastic atmosphere- we'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Talkeetna hidden gem

We had such a great experience at the Talkeetna Lake retreat! Jessica is an amazing host, she is very kind and the area is clean, quiet and private. We brought our two kids and they loved the paddle boat and row boat. The community fire pit was so nice and came in handy as we were camping with another family and we were all able to sit around the fire and roast s’mores. We will definitely be back and would recommend it to others.

Unexpected Highlight of our Trip

RV Site #02

Originally we just picked this campground because of it would break up the trip between Seward and Denali, but it turned out to be such a gem that we’re staying again on our return trip to Anchorage. Jessica’s warm welcome and the shady birches were just the beginning. We enjoyed taking our camera out on the paddle boat to capture the calm, quiet lake. The cute, practical touches like solar lanterns and umbrellas for the picnic tables were a level up. We highly recommend the hot tub add-on, with its gorgeous view of the lake and the clear roof that lets in all the light. Cooling down from the tub in the outdoor shower with the wind blowing through the leaves was an amazing finale. Looking forward to our second stop there tonight!

Our time at Talkeetna Lake Retreat was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in peace, beauty, and warm hospitality. The setting is stunning—nestled among the trees with quiet views of the lake, it’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and truly unwind. The site itself is thoughtfully curated, cozy, and sparkling clean, with little touches that show just how much care and intention Jessica puts into hosting. Speaking of Jessica—she is an absolute gem. Kind, responsive, and full of heart, she went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed. You can tell she genuinely loves sharing this place with others, and her warmth made our stay all the more special. Every moment here felt like a gift. We left feeling nourished and deeply grateful. If you’re looking for a soulful retreat with a truly exceptional host, Talkeetna Lake Retreat is it. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you, Jessica! 💛

We loved camping here! It was clean, adorable, nice wide/long flat sites. The lake was great and kids loved it! Jessica and her husband were so kind and accommodating. We took advantage of the community fire pit and loved every second. The hot tub and sauna are a must! We will definitely be back and can not recommend them enough. Can’t wait for next year!

Our family, and two other friends with their families spent the weekend at the lake retreat. It was gorgeous! the campsites were spacious and clean- with easy pull through access for our campers, propane firepits were already on site, and we were able to take all the adults and kids onto the lake for kayaking, boating, and paddle boarding for the afternoon. A huge surprise was that the retreat also had life jackets in every size, as we had forgotten ours at home before the journey started. Jessica was absolutely incredible with fast responses, helping to assist me with booking multiple hot tub and sauna reservations that were enjoyed by the adults at the end of a tiring morning- as well as the next morning before we left. Our second night, we all enjoyed the community fire pit, where the group of kids got to run and play without us worrying about being out of site. The bonus addition of the club house having readily available items for purchase as needed was wonderful. We cannot wait to spend another weekend at the talkeetna lake retreat and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quiet, family friendly adventure!
