Directed to Paula's guesthouse by the fully booked Roadhouse we were made so welcome by the lovely owner who extracted a bottle of beer from the fridge which we had straight away! Our rooms, up a twisting staircase, were spotless and interestingly decorated with quilts, ornaments and things that obviously had a history and meant a lot to the owner.... More

We were booked in for one night and quickly realised how wonderful it was so booked ourselves in for a second night. Paula is a generous, warm, lovely host and made us instantly feel welcome.Her rooms are really clean, cozy and comfortable and it was the best night's sleep I had during my whole time in Alaska! I would have... More

We went to talkeetna this april with our small trailer and there wasnt much open that time of year. Paula was so nice to let us park in her driveway. She gave us keys to the guest house so we could use the kitchen and bathroom and hang out in the common space and even helped us with laundry all... More

We booked the entire guesthouse for a ski weekend. First let me say that the price and location are JUST RIGHT. We had dogs, which was not a problem and saved us the additional expense of boarding them over the weekend. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with plenty of extra pillows and blankets to ensure coziness. The kitchen was... More

The Northern Guest House is a great place to stay in Talkeetna. First of all, it is perfectly located just a few minutes walk from the historic downtown area providing guests with easy access to all that Talkeetna has to offer along with a quiet place to stay. In addition, the owner is very knowledgeable of the area and willing... More

If you want to be close to downtown Talkeetna but still have quiet, affordable lodging, Northern Guest House is a great choice. I stayed in room 3 and was so intrigued by the nautical theme decorations that I really didn't miss the WiFi. Besides, it's Talkeetna. You don't need to sit there on your lap top when you're in a...

The Northern Guest House is a great find! The prices are reasonable, the accommodations comfortable, clean, and centrally located, and Paula is a flexible and thoughtful host. I've had many friends stay here for different events over the years, all of whom love the place. I highly recommend it!

This review is getting a "poor" rating over terrible, only because we love Talkeetna. Our visit was cut short due to unforseen flooding, so we could only stay one night at the Northern Guest House. Our hostess, Paula, was not the friendliest, nor did she have much experience in hospitality. We had a gathering of girls for a bachelorette party,... More

This group reserved 2 nights. I did not charge them for the first night in which they did not cancel nor show up. Upon arrival I greeted them and showed them how to work the primary heat source and explained to them that each room also had individual space heaters if they felt more heat was necessary. This was the... More

We rented the whole house and it was the best!..... Especially the very reasonable rate. We recently had a family and friends reunion in Talkeetna for my mom's birthday and the Northern Guest house was the perfect place to gather the family and hang out, play ping pong, and sit out at night in the yard around the screened in...

The Northern Guest House is a little different, a little quirky, and my wife and I liked it just fine. It's not for everybody: the furniture is an eclectic mis-matched mix of funky old stuff, and the sheets on your bed are not going to match. But when you open the door to the big living room area downstairs and... More
