Description from owner
Description
Your hosts, Peter and Martha, are retired National Park Service rangers. They live in a cabin on site.
The private guest cabin, which we call "Camp 1", has one bedroom with queen size bed; two large windows look out into the peaceful, undeveloped woodlands surrounding the cabin. The cabin is perfect for two adults; a pull-out full-size sofa bed in the living room provides sleeping capacity for two additional adults. The living room chair has to be slid out of the way when the sleeper couch is extended. The kitchen has a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, gas oven and cooktop. We provide quality cookware, dishware, utensils, and a variety of staples such as quality coffee and teas, spices, cooking oils and sundries (foil, cleaning products etc.). The dining area table seats four. The single bathroom has a tiled shower, sink and toilet.
Basecamp has 4G LTE cellular phone service. While we don't have Wi-Fi access, guests are welcome to use their phone hotspot to connect with wireless network service.
Sauna: Cabin guests have private and exclusive use of the wood-fired sauna. Firewood is provided. The sauna has lower and upper outside sitting decks for cool downs, libation and reflection. Both decks offer spectacular views of Denali and the mountains of the Alaska Range - weather dependent of course. If guests need help starting or maintaining a fire in the sauna (or cabin) wood stoves, we'll show you how or do it for you.
Guests are invited to sit in the greenhouse or attached Atrium and walk through the outdoor gardens. It takes a little more planning and effort, but one can grow garden crops in Alaska! Guests may share in any harvest that is ready for picking.
Parking: Talkeetna Basecamp has plenty of year-round parking space for our guests. We can accommodate two SUV/truck type vehicles with trailers. Trailers need to be backed into parking areas; we don't have a pull through turn-around.
We turn the water off between November 1 and April 30. However, the cabin is super insulated and easily heated by the Toyo and wood stoves. The cedar board-lined outhouse is the off-season toilet (complete with insulated seat); 5-gallon jugs of water are provided in the kitchen and the sauna is used for bathing.

“Talkeetna Base Camp wilderness cabin”
Absolutely wonderful cabin which we stayed at for three nights. It truly deserves its description as a wilderness cabin being surrounded by wild forest. The cabin is extremely comfortable and beautifully furnished. The kitchen includes oven with range and a fridge freezer and is stocked with many provisions - herbs, spices, tea and coffee. My wife and I stayed with her sister and husband. Only one bedroom but the sofa bed in the living room made it a comfortable space for four people. The owners are extremely friendly and welcoming and happy to help with anything. Guests also have access to a sauna a minute's walk from the cabin. There is a deck above the sauna with incredible views over the surrounding area and mountains - we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets during our stay.The owners have a well stocked greenhouse and vegetable garden which guests are invited to use. Talkeetna, a charming small town with great places to eat, is a ten minute drive from the cabin and Denali is within a two hour drive. The Base Camp cabin is a perfect place to relax and the owners are extremely friendly and passionate about the environment in which they live. I could not recommend this cabin highly enough!
