About Peter Mathiesen

I live year-round in Talkeetna, Alaska, and in the summer run a fly fishing guiding business in addition to building and renting wilderness cabins. Most of my off-season is working as a Journalist for numerous national periodicals and websites. If you're in Alaska, please pick up one of my books, Tales of the Alaska State Troopers, from Skyhorse Publishing. We often have our standard poodle Millie in tow and she loves to meet our renters.

I had an amazing adventure in one of the Peter's rentals. Van met all my expectations. It was clean and easy to drive. Peter and his team were awesome. They went above and beyond to accommodate all my needs They also equip you with all necessary supplies to head out camping straight from pickup location! I highly recommend renting from Peter. I would do it again soon.

Peter and his team were awesome! We made our reservation last minute and he was able to accommodate and give suggestions on things to do. The van itself is so easy to navigate and drive. It was rainy when we were there and it was able to navigate the wet roads well. Also very cozy with a comfortable bed!

We rented the Sprinter because we wanted to camp in Denali for the week - it was perfect. We cooked breakfast and dinner each day. It was very nice of Peter to supply us with a second burner which we used at each meal. Roomy to move around in. Well equipped to cook. Comfortable for sleeping. Great experience!

We absolutely loved the van! So comfortable and homey! We were able to see so much of Alaska in our two weeks there. Peter was great with communication and worked with us on drop off/pick up times and places to make it more convenient for us. Clark was also wonderful explaining how everything worked. I highly recommend anyone considering an Alaskan road trip to rent from Peter.

Everything was as advertised, and Peter was extremely responsive. Would absolutely rent from him again.

We made a big circle from Anchorage to Denali, then Fairbanks - Tok - Palmer and down to Cooper Landing, Homer, and Soldatna. The van was very reliable and comfortable for the two of us. I’m 6’3” tall and can just barely stand upright inside. The bed is comfortable and the amenities, like the fridge, sink, and electrical supply are good. We had a day and a half with no real sunlight to speak of because of heavy weather and we did run out of power from the solar system. But, everything powered up and charged when we started up the engine the next morning. Pick up at the airport was right on time and Peter was a great host.
