This place was absolutely fabulous and perfect for our family. We traveled with our adult daughter and it was the best set up for us ! And walking distance town. Would definitely recommend! Can not wait to go back

Brother Bear is beautiful & immaculate. There has been great effort in the conversion to a guest house. However, the set up seemed a bit awkward. Photos are accurate - first level had a sitting room (pull out sofa bed) the only bedroom & laundry. The stairs leading to the second level were uneven. The first step quite high and the last step in the flight - short. (Honestly, coming down the stairs and getting to the last step, we all used caution.) The second level contained the kitchen & dining & 4 chairs AND the bathroom. Plenty of nice quality towels and additional toiletries available. At the far end of second level is a small landing to sit and enjoy the fresh air. From this second level was a spiral staircase that lead to a loft. Getting luggage up the stairs was tricky. I elected to leave one of my suitcases on the second floor & only take the small piece to the third level. Linens were of quality and beds comfortable. We spent the majority of our time on this second level. It was the most open and "social" area. It was unfortunate that this main space did not have a TV. The room is long & has wasted space. Well equipped kitchen - Hi-quality everything. We contributed some spices and condiments with our stay -normal pass along. There was only ONE wine glass. We enjoyed our peaceful time at Brother Bear and the little Chalet town of Talkeetna. Would stay again. Not much to do & that was just fine! Town folk were very friendly.

The place was nice but the bed downstairs was uncomfortable and there was no place on the main level to hang out.

Myself and the friend traveling with me are in our mid-to-late ‘70’s. From the pictures and the description of this property it appeared clean and bright and the location was great, with two bedrooms. However, on arrival, we discovered that the “master” bedroom had no bath and that the only bath was up two flights of difficult stairs. And the second bedroom, which we also intended to use, was up a metal spiral staircase that was very narrow. It turned out the bathroom was located on the middle floor, above and below either bedroom, and for persons of our age and health, where getting up multiple times during the night was necessary, the stairs were very difficult for both of us to climb. After fully understanding the layout, we opted NOT to stay even one night at the property and returned to Anchorage, our homebase and my home town. I requested a return on half of the room deposit (we had reserved two nights in Talkeetna), stating that the property was not well described and the pictures misleading as to the location of the only bath. The owner declined to return half of the deposit, claiming the property was adequately described on the website. I disagree. Worse, even after we had communicated with the owner/manager that we were not staying even one night, I continued to get emails each day expressing the hope that I was enjoying the visit! Those wishes may be computer generated but given our situation, I found those emails very irritating. Not a good experience. RPB

Cabin was clean and kitchen was very well stocked. All of the sleeping areas were comfortable and the laundry machines were great. Talkeetna is a cute town on the weekends, but seemed to slow down a bit on weekdays (even mid-July). As we were leaving on a Tuesday, there was a sign in a restaurant downtown that said "sold out, see you friday". We thoroughly enjoyed the Hurricane Train that runs on Thurs - Mon afternoons. Teens hiked in Denali State Park (trailhead about an hour away).
