The Roadhouse, built around 1917, is one of the oldest establishments still in operation on Main Street in "Beautiful Downtown Talkeetna." Our kitchen is open to the public and we've become famous for big breakfasts, hearty soups, homebaked breads and genuine frontier hospitality. Our bakery produces all sorts of treats each day such as pies, a variety of cinnamon rolls, cookies, cakes, brownies, and savory pasties. The historic end-of-the-road town of Talkeetna is known today throughout the world as the base for international climbers making their way to climb Denali (Mt. McKinley), North America's tallest peak. Denali and the other peaks of the Alaska Range offer a magnificent backdrop for this picturesque town of around 800 people, located about two and a half hours north of Anchorage and halfway between Anchorage and Denali park entrance both by rail and road. The guest rooms range from private to hostel-style, rustic cabins to the school teacher's apartment located above the Talkeetna Historical Society Museum. Bathrooms are "down the hall" in typical Roadhouse fashion, and even though a bathroom has been added to Trapper John's Cabin, guests can still use its 5-Star outhouse! Breakfast is a separate charge but we provide our guests with coffee/cocoa/tea throughout their stay.

Detailed Reviews
We really enjoyed our stay at the Talkeetna Roadhouse. Trisha was helpful and friendly. She cooked us a big beautiful breakfast with her famous sourdough pancakes. She is being extremely cautious and conscientious during Covid. She’s only allowing guests to use the restrooms and laundry facilities. She has dedicated one restroom for each room so that guests don’t have to share. We appreciated all the effort she put in to keeping the roadhouse clean and inviting during this pandemic.

Wonderful Inn and bakery! So homey and welcoming. Great information from staff! Able to find cross country ski trails that were incredible. The stay was comfortable and relaxing. Can’t beat the fresh baked cinnamon rolls and quiche. The upstairs rooms are quaint, this is an old structure so the walls are quite thin. Enjoyed every moment of my stay.

We could not have picked a better place to stay in Talkeetna! Our group of 9 (2 families) stayed for 3 nights and we rented the entire house (except for the first night when a couple was staying in Room 2, but that didn't hurt the experience for us at all). Having so much space was wonderful, and the value of it couldn't be beat! The location is perfect, the owner was so helpful and accommodating, and the easy access to the most delicious cinnamon rolls and cookies in the world (from their bakery) was top notch! The beds were comfy, the fireplaces were cozy, and the black-out curtains and windowless rooms let us sleep in as long as we wanted. And the history of The Roadhouse is absolutely the icing on the cake!

Great historic spot
Owner Trisha is sooo helpful
And kind and goes way out of the way to help make your stay as best as possible. The food was excellent. The staff was great. One downside is the public restroom but it’s not a big deal.
I recommend it!

The Talkeetna Roadhouse is such an amazing experience! A very clean, interesting place to stay in Talkeetna. An awesome experience. Such a throwback to my childhood, my great grand parents owned a Roadhouse. So authentic, I can't thank Trisha enough for experience!
There is so much to discover at Talkeetna, the Talkeetna Roadhouse is a fantastic starting point.

We had a great stay at the Talkeetna Roadhouse. Trisha was super helpful. Easy check in process, super clean, great breakfast. We enjoyed seeing and hearing stories about all of the history of the Inn. We would love to come back in the winter and just hangout by the fireplace.

This place was the epitome of comfort and coziness. Everything was thoroughly thought out from seamless check-in to laundry. This place truly cares that you have a good experience. My friends and I got the Upstairs Suite as well as the Bunk Room for a night. The communal seating area was utterly charming, everything was very clean, and the beds were comfortable! We slept like rocks.

We stayed in the "Little Cabin Out Back". Tiny but fun! Great for my family of 5 for 1 night. It is quirky and fun just like the rest of town. We had a great breakfast and chatted with the owner/cook. Very friendly and accommodating!

The Road House was great, excellent service and very comfortable. We initially had reservations at the Fairview Inn, but after looking at it, we felt this was NOT the place to stay. The Road House is also an old Talkeetna establishment with a lot of local history. I would highly recommend the Road House. Great breads and soup!

I stayed at the Talkeetna Roadhouse in July 2004. If you are looking for a fancy hotel with people greeting you at the front door to carry your bags, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a great, rustic, homey place to stay, then Talkeetna Roadhouse is the place to be.
Nights can be spent with other travellers in the downstairs "living room area" playing cards and games, listening to music, or just relaxing with your favorite beverage.
My only beef was that the window shades were a wee-bit thin and let a lot of the midnight sun through. But it's nothing that can be fixed by hanging up a few towels over the window.
Bottom line......the price was right, the food was great, and the staff was wonderful. Next time I'm in Talkeetna I'm definitely staying at the Roadhouse!

There is on street parking throughout Talkeetna. And on two sides of the Roadhouse. It can get pretty full on a summer day and you may have to park a block,or more away. It always clears out in the evening. It is pretty laid back and you could double park for check in.
No ! you have to pay for everything.
The Museum Apartment is a separate structure from the Talkeetna Roadhouse and is completely private, bath, kitchen and all.
