Backwoods Cabins Reviews

Such a beautiful cabin. Clean and private. The main lodge was accessible and had games and books. Also loved the prayer/ meditation room. Such a great idea. Loved the quaint main street area with stores and great dining options. Highly recommend this property and the town of Talkeetna.

The cabin itself was lovely. We appreciated the kitchen cookware/dishes, and the bathroom toiletries. What was completely unacceptable was the horrific stench that wafted out as soon as the door was opened. We literally searched for a dead animal. We ended up going to the store and buying air freshener and a candle to burn. We were told the last renters had some sort of bloody meat in the refrigerator. There were also various stains on the carpet that looked like blood. The management offered no solution or discount on our stay. We had to have the windows open all the time which allowed plenty of mosquitoes in because there were no screens in the windows, so i am also covered in bites. We probably would have fared better in a tent somewhere. This trip was for my husband’s birthday and it really added disappointment with the two of us being so nauseated from the smell of the cabin. If you stay there, insist you do not get cabin number 5!

Was so nice! Thank you
