About Richard Cheney

Hale Kolea Cabin is a labor of love project by owner, Richard Cheney and his partner Kalani Chong. Richard, a graduate of University of Michigan, grew up in Williamston, Michigan and has been a Hawaii resident for over 35 years. Richard is a 12-time Honolulu Marathon and 3-time Iron Man finisher. His partner Kalani is a Native Hawaiian whose lineage can be traced back to Hawaii's Princess Ka'iulani. Kalani enjoys traveling to UNESCO World Heritage Sites and collecting vinyl records as art. Both live in Honolulu, Hawaii and work in the health care industry.

Richard Cheney purchased this cabin in 2012
Why Richard Cheney chose Talkeetna

Richard and Kalani unknowingly fell in love with Talkeetna while on a March 2012 winter vacation that began with Anchorage, then Fairbanks and eventually ended with a picturesque Aurora train ride to the charming town of Talkeetna. One night's stay in Trapper John's Cabin is all it took to launch research of available real estate that quickly led to groundbreaking four months later on July 3, 2012.

What makes this cabin unique

For the past 3 years, a kolea bird or Pacific Golden Plover appeared every August at Richard and Kalani's residence in Honolulu, Hawaii. Every day this kolea bird could be seen grazing the grassy parts of their property for an insatiable appetite of insects, all while enjoying the warm Hawaiian sun. Every April, their bird would vanish and heed its migratory call to flock north to Alaska. This miracle instinct fittingly inspired the cabin's name, Hale Kolea or 'Kolea House'.

We sincerely appreciate your interest in making Hale Kolea Cabin as a part of your next Alaskan adventure.

Absolutely gorgeous cabin!

Submitted: May 1, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
My friend and I stayed in this beautiful cabin for 3 days and it was wonderful. The management company met us upon arrival and the owner was always within a phone call and made sure we knew that. Talkeetna is a beautiful town and the cabin is within walking distance. The cabin has everything and anything you can imagine. Very comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen with stainless and granite, a walk in shower and washer and dryer. We were so comfortable and happy. When I travel to Alaska again I will make a trip to Talkeetna just to stay at this beautiful cabin. I just wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. Loved it!

Perfect modern way to getaway

5 of 5

The Hale Kolea cabin was the perfect place for my husband and I to get away. It is a smooth blend of modern amenities in a classic Alaskan setting, that are great to come back to after a day of skiing/snowshoeing. We even chose to stay in for one of the nights, and cook in the fantastic kitchen, that was obviously constructed by foodies with a gas stove and full spice rack.
We will definitely be back for another trip.
Thank you for such a great stay!!!

Owner's Response: Jenny, we are ecstatic that you had a wonderful visit. You were actually our very first guests! We're pleased to hear you're considering staying at Hale Kolea Cabin in the future. I think you will be pleased with the addition of art work we are installing and the now growing DVD/Blu-Ray collection. Mahalo (thank you!) for taking the time to review our cabin. Happy travels!
