Eye of Denali is an awesome property. Very clean and fresh and comfortable, and great location, within easy walking distance of downtown. We spent some time in the back yard by the river, and took some great photos with Denali shining behind us.

Check in process was very simple. Could use nonstick pans and more towels for larger parties but everything overall did the job. The bikes were really fun to ride into town. Washer and dryer were much appreciated. Beautiful place, roomy, close location to town and a view you can't beat. Amazing time with family and friends.

A beautiful home with beautiful views! Even got to see the top of Mt McKinley (which I have heard is rare) from the backyard!

This is the perfect rustic setting for an Alaskan adventure! Loved the beautiful river setting with Denali in the background! Talkeetna is a quaint little town with several dining options and little shops to explore! We would definitely recommend Eye of Denali for your next stay!
