As beautiful as it was comfortable
This is a true gem! It was clean, well maintained, and had plenty of space for our large group of 9. The beds were very comfortable and there were room darkening shades in each room (a key for sleeping through an Alaska summer night). The open floor plan worked well for a large group as people could be in the kitchen, at the table, or lounging in the living room but still be part of the group. I could see how the lofted space would have be a nice if we had any kids with us. The only downside of the open floor plan and loft was that those talking at a normal volume on the second floor could be heard clear as day on the first floor.

Beautiful, Comfortable House
My family came to Anchorage for vacation and to spend time with extended family. The house was perfect for us; we were very comfortable and enjoyed all of the amenities. The weather was warm when we were there and it got a little hot upstairs, and the owner brought extra fans for us.

Anchorage Thanksgiving
Enjoyed staying at this house in a quiet neighborhood alongside the creek with direct access to the trail system and downtown. Super clean all around and a very well appointed kitchen which made dinner prep fun’ The living room fireplace and big dining room table made for family gathering spots. Host was friendly, efficient and does a great job with this property.

Beautiful Home
This is a beautiful property with lots of space for the entire family. The view to the creek is amazing. You feel like you are in the country yet still close to everything. We had trouble with the hot water tank during our stay and the owners were quick to respond. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Perfect location to airport and town
Fully stocked house near airport and town! Beds were comfortable and plenty of linens for all. House had a lot of extras (steamer, roll away beds, pillows, outdoor seating) which were an added bonus. We bbq’d one night and realized the propane was empty, within minutes the host replied and brought a full tank in less than 30 min. Our family enjoyed our stay very much!

Great house! Great Location!
The house was perfect for our family of 11 including two small children. We were in town for a week for a family reunion. We enjoyed the easy access to bike trails and parks, and downtown. All of the beds were very comfortable and the living spaces (kitchen, large dining room, back deck, and extra living room upstairs) were wonderful! We plan to return!!

Gorgeous home, phenomenal location!
I was a little nervous to rent a new property but my goodness were we in for a lovely surprise. For two weeks, colleagues and I stayed in this home while attending exhausting meetings downtown. We called this place our sanctuary and for good reason: comfortable rooms and common areas, dreamy creekside location and easy access to and from downtown. The host Karley was super responsive to our needs. We will be staying here in the future, no doubt. Don't hesitate to book!
