Home Away from Home

The place was very comfortable, clean and well supplied. It had everything we needed, including lots of pillows and blankets for kids to crash on the couches, air mattress, and floor. Bill and Penny were extremely accomodating, he even snow plowed around our car. Great central location, Fred Meyer is literally right down the road. I would definjtely stay there again!

Home Away from Home

We absolutely loved our stay here at Penny&Bill's. They were super friendly from the get-go of booking, to allowing such a spacious apartment, to providing amenities and a stocked kitchen. We had an unexpectedly nice and comfortable stay! We will definitely book with Penny&Bill for future family stays. Thank you :)

Cozy place

The apartment was cozy and had a great location. Very close to town. Penny kept communication the entire time. We just had a bit of an issue with our Netflix account. She was unable to help. It would have been nice to have more games to pick from. We ended up watching tv on our phones. It was an overall good stay. Would recommend this place.

Great home base

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was a clean, quiet, comfortable place for hubby to lounge around and nap in and the perfect, convenient location for me to pop in and out of between adventures. Loved it.

Perfect Place in Juneau!

The host Penny is wonderful and so is the house. Clean, comfortable, and close to everything in Juneau, but it feels secluded. If I’m in Juneau again, this would be my first choice for lodging!!

Perfect, convenient spot in Juneau!

Great spot, perfectly located between Mendenhall Glacier and downtown Juneau. Comfortable apartment. Hosts were attentive and helpful when we needed resupply of bathroom items. An upgrade to the apartment would be screens on the windows to improve ventilation without letting bugs in. Other than that, it was a great resting spot for our family of 6.

This home was perfect for our business trip and I can imagine it would be a good choice for a family vacation too. We were close to everything, downtown 10 minutes, Mendenhall Glacier 10 minutes, grocery store 5 minutes.

A splendid little place. I was ready to move-in.

This little home is right by the airport, and I was worried about possible airplane noise. But I never heard a sound, it was perfect, and restful. It's the downstairs level of their home, not connected directly to the host home upstairs. These hosts really care about making your stay great. (We were staying for work, but I'd love to book again for vacation) I would highly recommend this place, it's got everything you need. Clean and comfy, close to everything, and a great value.

Cozy cabin in Juneau

This cabin was very near the airport which was nice after a long day of plane travel. Close to town but did not feel like it (In a good way). Very peaceful and beautiful location. House was clean, cozy and well furnished for a Juneau vacation. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location to stay in Juneau!

Penny our host was very gracious to let us check in early as our flight arrived several hours prior to check- in. The downstairs apartment is clean and comfortable. The property is centrally located to all activities and is about 10 minutes from downtown . Fred Meyer is down the street. There are many trails to hike and lots of mining and Tlingit history. The scenery is outstanding!
