We enjoyed a relaxing couple of days at the Mountain View Retreat. We enjoyed the snacks (especially the muffins) and relaxing in the hot tub while enjoying the view. We checked out a couple of the restaurants the host recommended, and were pleased with both. The space was just right for our family of four, and we appreciated the cozy fireplace to take the chill off of rainy fall days. The beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were provided for both showering and the hot tub. The location was safe and blissfully quiet!

We are experienced VRBO’ers and found this listing to be excellent. All directions and communications were 100%, the apartment was truly exceptional (with great living room recliners and terrific comfortable beds), and the host left kind instructional notes, blueberry muffins, and cranberry scones.The view from inside and from the outside seating was of beautiful mountains, and the nearby cold frames were full of green vegetables.Although the heated outside spa was very inviting, we were tired from our day’s adventuresome exploring, so we didn’t use it (at least this time)!Nothing less than 100% for our stay at this “Beautiful Mountain View” hideaway!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The first stay was very nice, the second stay was less impressive. The stay of August 22 was very disappointing. Trash had not been emptied, wet hand towel from someone other than our party was on the rack, dirty towels left in the room, kitchen towels and cloth were not to be found. This makes me wonder if the sheets had been changed/clean.

Easy launch for Talkeetna

We flew into Anchorage and then stayed here in order to set ourselves up for a nice day trip to Talkeetna and back the next day, before heading to the peninsula for the rest of our 10 days in Alaska. The hosts were kind, the views were incredible, the space just right for what we were doing.

It’s a nice little suite.

Nice little property to stay at. The only complaint was being able to hear loud foot steps from above in the night. Would also recommend getting curtains for the main door for added privacy as it looks out to the owners hot tub.

Extreme noise from upstairs: could hear and distinguish talking, crying baby, loud footsteps. Not so much a problem for my party but if you are looking for peace and quiet and serenity this is not an appropriate spot for that. Otherwise it’s very clean, comfortable, and safe.
