Quiet, Elegant & Cozy - 4 Miles from Downtown

This is a Jonathan's home, and he's built and stocked it with thought and care as a place to reflect, commune, and heal. In this quiet forest, all you hear is the occasional train, bushplane, or dog. The most special moments happen with a fire in the wood stove, loved ones around, a piece of Alaskan salmon, and a glass of wine. There is a TV, but not in any of the main spaces. This is a home to enjoy your time with one another, and then explore the town of Talkeetna. The space The house is made for 4 people, and could sleep a 5th if you don't mind the couch. The main space feels very communal, and the downstairs centers around the woodstove. The best moments always include a fire. The living room features a hand painted mural by Jonathan's friend Maiko, and you'll find local and hand-selected art throughout the house. The house always seems to create opportunities to share and talk, and every space is designed as its own experience. But it can be hard to get away from everyone. This is why the master bedroom and the porches are great, because you can shut the door and be in your own Alaskan world. This is a home to spend time with the people you came with, and not to expect perfect privacy. The upstairs is a semi-loft with built in twin beds and it's own bathroom with shower. It also features blackout shades and the only TV. It's great for kids and guests. Everything in the house is thought out, from Jonathan's hand-made birch benches, the selection of Alaskan books, the very well stocked kitchen, and the hand cut birch & spruce firewood. Jonathan created this place to feel simultaneously like his home, AND your temporary home, and we hope you love it as much as he does. Guest access Whole house, but not the garage. Other things to note We operate a small heater repair business out of the shop, and at times someone may be coming or going, but we have installed house blinds so not to interrrupt your privacy!
