Great spot to stay in Anchorage

This is the downstairs apartment of the owner's home and is well stocked and lovely to stay. We felt at home and there is a really great view of the mountains from the porch/living room windows. If you are staying in the Anchorage/Girdwood area, this is the place to stay.

The host was very nice and fast at responding to questions. Overall it was clean. We were disappointed in the following: The living area was cluttered- there was personal items in all closets, bathroom and freezer. The listing stated there was an oven and stove top and there was neither. They had construction going on which is fine but we did not find about it until the day we were checking in so we could not change our plans without eating the cost since it was past the time we could get a refund if we canceled so we sucked it up and made the best of the noise. We also did not know the road was not in good condition to get there. It would also have been nice to know ahead of time. I just had surgery and this made travel very inconvenient and painful to get to and from the house.

Nice Location with a Good View

In the foothills overlooking Anchorage. Liked the location. Downstairs apartment with quite a few stairs so not good for anyone with problems walking or toting heavy suitcases. Some upstairs noise. Living room and kitchen quite small but we made do as we were gone most of the time. More suited to a couple than three though and not really set up for cooking meals. Two nice size bedrooms. Full size bathroom but could use some updating. Lovely porch with view of city. Nice quiet neighborhood.

Beautiful views but not peaceful

The views were spectacular and the location was great, but noise from upstairs was disrupting and we had to carefully watch where we stepped because the dogs had not been cleaned up after. However, when we couldn’t find a wine bottle opener our host was able to procure one quickly.

Solitude near a big city

We are from Fairbanks and came down to visit friends at the 1024 Arctic Thunder Air Show. Gary was an excellent host with a comfortable and clean Vrbo. It is in Bear Valley with a beautiful view of Cook Inlet. The view at night was spectacular with beautiful red lights emanating from Anchorage. Quiet and peaceful country neighborhood.

Gorgeous view and unique!

Loved our stay! Quiet, comfortable, georgeous montainous surroundings, and saw a moose walk through the yard. The apartment is in the lower level of cabin pictured so there is a flight of stairs to reach entrance. There were no laundry facilities. The road to reach the property is at least 1 1/2 miles of gravel and could be very difficult in wet/snowy weather. And was a lengthy 25 mile drive from the Anchorage airport and city center. But well worth the view. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

This place could not be more perfectly located. It’s south of Anchorage, in the mountains, but within 10-15 minutes of grocery store and restaurants. The owners made an apartment, overlooking the mountains. There’s a back deck with a table and a gas grill, two comfortable bedrooms with room darkening blind (it’s light 19 hours in summer). We enjoyed repeatedly, seeing moose, and one even walked into our backyard the morning that we were leaving. It was clean, and the hosts were very responsive and gracious. Judy’s Cafe is the best breakfast place you will ever find (cash only). The drive south to Whittier was incredible, and we kayaked in the most beautiful scenery you could imagine. We drove north to Palmer, for white water rafting, and ziplining. This was the perfect place to stay for the vacation of a lifetime.
