Weekend Trip to Talkeetna Lake Retreat

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! 💛

Was beautiful and clean and had a lot of fun! Would definitely come back! But if you are looking for something with WiFi they never provided that information, even after messaging the host directly.
