A Peaceful Forest Escape in Talkeetna
This is the kind of place where your shoulders drop the moment you arrive.
Set in a quiet birch forest in Talkeetna, this glamping retreat is all about slowing down. Mornings begin with soft light through the trees, birdsong outside the tent, and the gentle sound of wind moving through the leaves. You can stay wrapped in bed a little longer, make coffee or tea without rushing, and watch the forest wake up around you.
Inside the bell tent, everything feels simple, cozy, and calm. A king bed invites deep sleep. Two comfortable chairs face the trees, giving you the perfect place to read, sip something warm, or just sit quietly and do nothing for once.
Outside, the covered deck becomes your open air living room. Share a slow meal at the table, grill dinner, or linger outside while the evening settles into the woods.
And then there is the bathhouse.
This is where the stay becomes unforgettable. Soak in the tub with bath salts as the forest surrounds you. Step into the river stone shower with the trees just beyond the windows. Look up through the translucent roof and catch the changing sky above you. It feels peaceful, private, and a little bit magical.
Nearby, the communal gathering space adds a touch of connection, with games, music, and space to unwind. But the real reason to come here is the feeling.
The quiet.
The trees.
The warm bath.
The slow mornings.
The sense that, for a little while, the world can wait.
Come here to exhale.
Perfect for couples getaway, mother-daughter getaway, friends, and small corporate retreats. This getaway offers an ideal base for exploring Alaska’s breathtaking Last Frontier. Conveniently located near a grocery store, local brewery, restaurants, and popular tourist attractions, you’ll have everything you need within easy reach while still enjoying the adventure and beauty of the surrounding area.
We look forward to hosting you!

We absolutely LOVED our stay here with Mel and her family! They are the most welcoming and friendly hosts we've ever had and made the stay so amazing and so memorable. They brought us flowers and delicious homemade muffins, shared amazing stories of Alaska, and invited us along with them to the 4th of July events in town while we were there. We're typically reserved people who just prefer to stick to ourselves at these kind of set-ups, but they were so friendly that it was super easy to get to know the whole family. The tent is super nice, very well set up inside, dark enough to sleep, plenty of room for our family of 4, and it stayed quite warm on cold nights with the heater. The dog, cat, ducks, and chickens were a delight for my kids and they loved having the playset and swings to play on, not to mention having her 2 kids to play with. We used the little kitchenette area a lot and appreciated the full fridge, hot water, and microwave (plus grill outside) so we could make food. In many ways it is still a work in progress and they have a million projects that they're working on to make it even more amazing, but it was totally perfect for us. If you enjoy AMAZING mountain views, a very comfortable bed to sleep in, and want a totally unique way to experience Homer, I'd definitely recommend staying here. Honestly, I thought this vacation would probably be our only family trip to Alaska, but now I'm thinking we'll need to return and visit just to stay with them again!

This place is so amazing!! The view is unbelievable. You can see the full mountain range and the Homer Spit right from the porch. It feels very private, set back away from the house and with a separate parking spot. The host family is so wonderful and they give you the perfect balance between respecting your privacy and being willing to give advice on things to do in the area. The location couldn't be better; it's right in the middle of town and less than 5 minutes down to the Homer Spit. The tent itself is super posh! They've got it hooked up with comfy beds and nice sheets and blankets, lighting, and lots of outlets. Even though it was summer and didn't get dark until well past midnight, it stayed nice and dark inside the tent to we could sleep in. Not much road noise at all that we noticed. We brought our kids and they loved playing in the yard and sleeping in the big tent. I wish we could have stayed longer! We'll be back!!

1 night at Drop Anchor Glamping
We enjoyed our first visit so much came back and tried out their other tent. We were not disappointed. The queen bed was as great as tent #2 bed and linens. Comfortable, decor is a bit more Boho w/brighter color theme, very nice. Had its own picnic table with huge umbrella, fire pit with a first nights firewood ready to fire up and Adirondack Chairs w/ throw blankets, Lots of Lanterns, soft rugs, throw pillows, propane heater to take that evening chill away was available. It’s Harvest time, we picked Rhubarb, Red Raspberries that are huge, sweet and delicious, had fresh broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce so much produce to go with our fresh salmon we caught. Mel is a fantastic Hostess, she’s a fountain of local knowledge, assisted us with booking suggestion, best trails, restaurants, breweries, charters, and she knows everyone, glamping truly exposes you to more of the Best of a community from a locals view. We rented bikes and canoe the reservoir is another locals secret spot. Mel had, all the gear to loan out, We met the next morning to

Weekend Trip to Drop Anchor Glamping
Brand new all weather tents on private deck with real queen beds, high thread count sheets & nice furniture inside & out with Gorgeous views! Cozy down comforter to keep you warm along with safe indoor heater if needed. They also have firewood on site if needed and a greenhouse for veggies. Salad anyone?Plenty of lighting inside & out that you control & you can even charge your electronics inside the tent. Unlike an average tent there’s no condensation buildup. Perfect location for walks, biking, hiking, fishing charters or snow machining in winter. Plentiful raspberry bushes to pick from. Fire pit for s’mores & place to hang your wet waders after fishing. Homer spit, cool restaurants, bars, native artwork & unique gift stores all very close by. Mel is an amazing host & can point you in the right direction for any of your interests. She goes above & beyond in making your stay perfect!! Beautiful open yard, too. This is the only place I’ll ever stay now when I’m in Homer. Better book ahead as this is a steal deal!!

Where to go
Bristol Bay
Bristol Bay is an expansive region with massive lakes, huge ocean bays and wild rivers. It’s known for abundant salmon runs that draw anglers and wildlife enthusiasts from around the world. Visit Katmai National Park and Preserve to watch bears catch salmon on Brooks Falls or fish for salmon and giant rainbow trout on the mighty Kvichak River. Lake Iliamna and the rivers in this area offer incredible fishing, sightseeing and boating.
Kenai Peninsula
Some areas in Alaska are road accessible, making them perfect for camping and exploring at your own pace. The Kenai Peninsula is one of those special places where you can experience the best of Alaska from RV sites and tent camping areas at private and public campgrounds in places like Soldotna. Go fishing on the mighty Kenai River for salmon and trout, take a cruise through the Kenai Fjords National Park, take a dog sledding tour or go hiking on the many miles of trails on this wild peninsula.
Southeast Alaska
The rugged Southeast coastline is dotted with small communities, many of which are isolated from any highway systems. Ketchikan and Juneau are two hubs to visit for access to the expansive Tongass National Forest. Prince of Wales Island has limited services but rental vehicles and island roads allow for access to go fishing and hunting in this remote area.
Denali National Park
Accessible by road system, Denali National Park leads many visitors to fly into Anchorage and rent a vehicle or RV to visit. The incredible peak is more than 20,000-feet high and the surrounding Alaska Range is absolutely stunning. If you want an unforgettable view, consider flightseeing tours to gain elevation and really get into the mountains. Moose and bear sightings are common and the trails offer a range of hiking options for visitors. This park is fantastic and is accessible for a wide range of budgets and camping styles.
Alaska is a two-season state where it’s either feeling like summer or winter. In summer, the days are long, leaving plenty of time to explore and very little darkness to help you sleep. The inverse is true during the winter months. The first snowfall, also called termination dust, typically arrives sometime in September and it coincides with rapid color changes and shorter days. Most visitors arrive during summer when the salmon are running and bush flights operate in places like Bristol Bay on regular flight schedules. Although summer is ideal for most campers, winter does have special events like dog sledding races and views of the northern lights.
