Bryan was gone for the last three weeks in February visiting his friend Leigh Anne and going fishing in Australia, so when he finally got home I took us both for an extra special Weekend Get-Away at a Bed & Breakfast in Talkeetna called The Denali Overlook Inn.
What a fantastic place that was! I splurged on the costs a bit, spending at least twice as much as I normally do on our little mini-vacations. But it was so worth it, if only for the view alone!
Our Suite of rooms was up on the third floor offering THE BEST view of the house. We could lay down in our bed and look out over the river to Denali – it was spectacular. We had plenty of room for Bryan’s fly tying and my card making. We even had a clawfoot tub for Bryan to relax in after a hard day of being pampered and doing nothing.
March being in the “off season”, the Inn was not providing breakfasts as they normally do – but for an extra $25 each, our host went ahead and cooked a very tasty breakfast for Saturday morning. We fended for ourselves for the rest of the meals – which is hardly in imposition as Talkeetna has several really good places to eat. We also brought snacks to munch on as we worked on our projects in our room, and our host baked the most scrumptious chocolate cake and chocolate chip cookies. We were well fed, that is for sure.
The room did not come with a TV as they showed in their pictures online, but thankfully Bryan had packed our portable DVD player along with the monitor and all his cords and what not – so we were able to watch our movies all weekend while working on our projects. The theme this time was: Outer Space. All the movies I chose had that in common: Apollo 18, Pandorum, The Europa Report, Galaxy Quest, Event Horizon, and Interstellar, to name just a few.
