Yellow Cottage
Yellow Cottage
The Yellow Cottage is located on Veterans Way, four blocks south of Main Street along the Historic Village Airstrip. Built in the early ’70s by Waymon Vest – a long time Talkeetna Bachelor who spent his youth working the oil rigs of the north sea and later became a trap collector – this cozy single story open plan frame house offers a kitchen, breakfast nook, queen size bed and a single size day bed. There is a full bathroom with sink, toilet, tub and shower. There is WiFi, outdoor table and chairs, BBQ, private off-street parking and a hammock. There is no television, but plenty of board games and puzzles. All the shops, restaurants and tour activities in the heart of ‘beautiful downtown Talkeetna’ are just four blocks up the street; the VFW Post #3638 is just across the driveway. The Alaska Railroad Summer Depot is just west of the Yellow Cottage about another four blocks. Are you a pilot? You can park your plane and walk to the Yellow Cottage after landing at either the State airport or the Village Strip.
