Description
I live in a lovely little town in Alaska called Talkeetna just south of the Alaska range and Denali. I live with my 2 Alaskan huskies. We love the lake life and just getting out to explore everything Alaska has to offer! I am a Civil Engineer for the Forest Service. I survey and design stream restoration projects all over the country but when I'm not travelling on a project, forgot fun, I work from home.

Accommodation
Tiny cabin with fill size bed, electric including electric heater. No running water. Outhouse.
I will plan to cook food for our work aways but there is a little fridge, induction burner, toaster oven, and hot water kettle in the tiny cabin. Unless they prefer to just be given ingredients and cook themselves.
What else ...
Lots of trails and water in talkeetna to explore on whether you are into hiking, biking, fishing, rafting, kayaking or stand up paddle boarding,
flying, there is just about everything to do here!
The best transport would be by bicycle on the trail. We live 7 miles from town and 7 miles from the grocery store. We also might be able to help out with transport depending on the day.
