We had a great time during our stay here. All three generations found something wonderful about the Rusty Salmon Lake House. We loved sitting on the comfortable deck watching the birds and looking at the lake. We used the canoe and kayaks to tool around the lake and fished from the dock as well. The house was full of so much interesting Alaska decor for us to explore. We used the house as a jumping off point to go visit Denali National Park, but we enjoyed just staying at the house and relaxing at the lake as well. We would definitely recommend this listing to anyone looking to stay in the Talkeetna area.

Beautiful cabin. We saw a mama moose with two calves by the pond. It was rainy and cool but a nice fire in the woodstove kept it cozy.

HOLY COW. The attention to detail and comfort are second to none. Welcome into a well-appointed and functional home in Takeetna AK. We loved the fishing opportunity at the back door. Although we didn't catch anything it didn't stop our efforts for two days. There ample gear to include polls and baits. boats and lifejackets to use as well. The home slept our family of 5 perfectly. The added 1/2 bath including the 2 full bathes was a welcome addition. The 2 bedrooms are full suites with each having in own full bathroom. We will definitely recommend to anyone how is looking to stay in Talkeetna area.

My husband and I, adult children and their significant others plus furry dependents went for a weekend getaway to enjoy nature and the lake and this place fit the bill! The house was stocked with home away from home essentials. The large fridge and freezer along with the waffle maker and mix was a bonus! The beds were very comfortable. The living room provides for a cozy gathering to enjoy the lake view and wood stove as well as the deck to get a front row seat to the serenity of the lake and bird watching. Thank you to our host! Pro tip — bring extra towels for your dog, they will get muddy in the marsh.

We loved our stay in this tranquil property! Beautiful location and with amazing lake views, the deck was a great spot to relax and watch the bird life. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and amazing Alaskan decor! An ideal base for visiting Denali National Park, Talkeetna and a sort drive to the grocery store. Would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful property and the nature was stunning! There was plenty of firewood and despite being off the beaten path, amenities were great. Super short drive to some great breweries and downtown Talkeenta which was so much fun! Peter was a great host and we couldn’t have asked for more

Really enjoyed our stay. Had all of the amenities we needed. It was clean and close to all of the things we wanted to do. Sometimes "rustic" means old and run down but not in this case; it was clean and charming. Our only con was the path down to the lake was a bit overgrown and muddie for one of our guests who is not very sure-footed. Thank you for a great experience !

We have loved our stay at the Rusty Salmon Lake House. Perfect location between anchorage and Denali. We also enjoyed exploring Talkeetna which is a short drive from the cabin. There is a great grocery store 3 miles away with pre-made sandwiches for your adventures. Beautiful home with everything you need. The highlight was definitely fly fishing with Peter & Clark and catching rainbows and graylings. What a wonderful trip! We hope to come back again soon!

When we left, the front door was locked and we could not get it unlocked. Also, there was one shade on the big windows toward the lake that was broken. The downstairs bedroom ceiling light fixture is just rather funky, but maybe that’s the only way it works. Anyway small things and we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you, Greg and Ann.

Beautiful cozy cabin with lots of charm! Amazing view of the lake, we loved walking out on the dock and watching the loons. Nice and clean as well with plenty of amenities.
