Amazing
We had such a wonderful time at your property! The house is so bright and cosy. We loved it.
It is surrounded by mountains on one side and views of the city on the other side. We saw a moose in the garden. We saw the whale that stranded at the mudflats, hiked to Barbara falls, did snowmobiling in Girdwood, did the scenic route ( Turnaround arm),…
We loved coming home in a warm house. The hot tub made our evening very special. And as the cherry on the cake, during our last night, we saw the Northern lights!! What a trip!!

Great for families
This is a lovely, modern, comfortable home and it is set up for all age groups of families. The kitchen is pretty well equipped, and the location is great for exploring the areas to the south. I would say the only downside is that it's about a 20 minute drive into downtown Anchorage, which you would have to add on to your drive time if you were heading to explore areas to the north.
