This was such an excellent place for large families to stay!! We came in from WA state for a wedding and had enough room for everyone! The house was not only spacious, but also clean, beautiful and it felt like home (The play area for the kiddos was a special touch!). The owners were very gracious, helpful and communicative. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again and again!

Wonderful extended family stay!

We had such a wonderful time here two years ago that we returned this year! Had a similarly excellent experience this year. Martha is an incredible host, even going out of her way to make sure we had the kitchen items I had asked about ahead of our stay. The play room downstairs is a favorite for my three year old, and he has been asking to go back to that house all year when he sees pictures from our last stay.

Fabulous place to stay in Anchorage

We loved our stay here! The rooms were very comfortable. There was plenty of space. The owners have a nice collection of spices in the kitchen to use while cooking and plenty of dishes. We loved the collections of Alaska books in the house; our party read many of them. I liked the fact there were kids games available (even though this time, we didn't have any kids with us). The owners were very easy to contact and very friendly. We didn't have any problems, but if we had, we've have been able to find them. Lovely neighborhood, we walked outside most evenings. Location was convenient to grocery stores -- just a couple miles away as well as a large wooded park. It was wonderful having a large family room to hang out in; much better than being in a hotel! Really nice place to stay as a homebase for an Alaskan vacation! I would definitely recommend the home!
