Fodor's Expert Review Talkeetna Roadhouse
13550 E. Main St., Talkeetna, Alaska, 99676, USA
This circa-1917 log roadhouse has a common sitting area and rooms of varying sizes. The accommodations include bunks, private rooms, a rustic cabin, a suite, and an apartment over the museum. Expect just the basics—bed, table, and window—and all the personality in the way the space creates a community centered on mountain life. Sizable breakfasts featuring sourdough pancakes from a 1902 starter and famous cinnamon rolls are served at the communal-seating restaurant. This is a popular place with locals and with climbers who use Talkeetna's air taxis to reach Denali. In winter, the café is open only on weekends and evenings.
