I had a wonderful stay at the Hale Kōlea cabin! It was the perfect weekend getaway. Everything at the property is perfectly thought out and it had every amenity I needed for the stay. Very clean and comfortable. The property is in a very quiet part of the town, but in easy walking distance to the heart of the excitement and history of downtown Talkeetna. It’s truly a “Best of both worlds” kind of situation! This was my second time staying at Hale Kōlea and the hosts are so welcoming and helpful! I can’t wait to stay there again!

Our stay at the Hale Kōlea Cabin was, without question, the most exquisite, charming, and memorable experience of our entire 10-day journey through Alaska. From the outset, communication with the cabin owners was prompt, courteous, and thorough — setting the tone for what proved to be an exceptional visit.The cabin itself offered an impeccable blend of comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. Every modern amenity was thoughtfully provided, and the cozy, home-like atmosphere left us feeling both relaxed and thoroughly pampered.A particularly delightful surprise was the presence of inspiring artwork throughout the property, which added a uniquely personal and artistic touch to the space.We cannot recommend this cabin highly enough. Should our travels bring us back to Talkeetna, Hale Kōlea will undoubtedly be our first choice for accommodation — and we’ll be enthusiastically sharing this gem with all our friends.

The cabin is really nice, clean, easy check in, good WiFi and TV, and what really sets it a part is there are lots of little things that make it easier to “stay”. There are tissues, need some olive oil, its there, need information on local sites, places to eat… it’s there. Need a cup of coffee, it’s there… The cabin is close enough to the main town to walk, also if you’re taking a flight into Denali, the air strip is also within walking distance. They recommend K2 Aviation, and I would also recommend after our experience with them (you get a discount when you mention the cabin name). Great place !

We loved our 2 night stay at this beautifully decorated and lovely cabin. It had everything we needed including a well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and very comfortable bed. The location was near the town of Talkeetna. We didn’t get to use the sauna but sure it would have been nice. Overall, I would stay here again.

The cabin is beautiful! The kitchen was wonderful for a small cabin and the sauna was amazing! It was an easy walk into town as well. The hosts and property manager communicated really well and called to follow up about the reservation as soon as I made it, as well as the day of check in. Thank you for a great stay!

Hale Kolea is One of our favorite places to stay

When we walk into this cabin, it's like coming home. This was our second time there and we were at home. People in the area are really friendly and just nice. The cabin is clean, it has everything you need and I love that they have a gas stove. It's so quiet and as writers, it gives us time to get away from a large city and write, read a book or just sleep!!

Amazing hideaway

What a diamond in the rough!!! An unassuming cabin by the outside. Open the door and enter paradise!! Who needs to fly to Hawaii to get an island experience. This cabin far exceeded our expectations and literally made our weekend. From ease of check in to cleanliness, everything was so perfect. For being a studio cabin, the layout was amazing. The best part was the Finnish Sauna that was connected to the latrine area. The kitchen was amazing for cooking and just enjoying.100% will be back again!!

This was the second anniversary my wife and I have spent at the cabin, at 8 years and again now at 15. Even though it had been 7 years, the place was more comfy and cozy than the first time. The hosts have thought of everything and run a smooth operation . We will be back!!

Beautiful quiet log cabin close to everything

We loved this beautifully decorated log cabin. It had a very well thought out layout for two people staying. The bed was very comfortable. The shades worked well for long day light hours. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the sauna. We did not have a car and the owners were able to recommend 'taxi' drivers to us. It was an easy walk for us to the downtown for food, to the boat launch for Mahay's jet boat rides and to K2 for flightseeing of Denali. Talkeetna is a cute little town and we wished we staying longer than 3 days. A special thanks to the owners and local contact who were very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again.
