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!

Our family really enjoyed this cabin as the first stop on our Alaska adventure! It’s close (enough) to Talkeetna and hikes, but super quiet and remote feeling. Despite being off the grid and small, it had everything we needed. I like to save money in trips, so having the fridge and burner to cook some simple things was great. We did have to be super vigilant about keeping mosquitoes out and killing any that got in. Our only wish was that the beds in the loft would have had mosquito nets. We regretted not putting bug spray on the kids before bed! But we loved having the kayaks available to use and my girls loved the puppy, George! Shelley was so quick to respond and very friendly/informative, while also giving space & privacy. I’d love to come experience it in the winter!
