We didn't want to leave

We loved this house and didn't want to leave. The porch with the view was incredible!!! My daughter also wanted to take home the St. Bernard! The house was fabulous, and we would have liked to have stayed about 2 more weeks and cook in the kitchen and enjoy family time in the family room. We appreciate your hospitality so much!!

The Perfect Getaway

Our family of 6 stayed in this lovely home for one week. It was the perfect home base for all of our excursions. It is about 20 minutes from downtown Anchorage, which means it is very quiet! The beds are comfy, and the sheets are soft as butter! I have insomnia but I slept so well in Alaska! The home is nicely appointed with necessities and the host is prompt to reply and provide help. I was so impressed with the care the owner gave us. We would absolutely recommend staying.

Fantastic house and location

We stayed at this property for a few days as a base for exploring the area. The house was top notch in comfort and convenience. The views are absolutely unbelievable. So many extras were furnished for our stay- soaps, coffee filters and creamers, paper goods, etc. we really appreciated those touches. Highly recommend this rental!!

Perfect family vacation!

We had our best family vacation ever, and this home was the perfect place for our 3 generations to stay! It was not just clean and comfortable, our host made sure we had everything we needed. When our incoming flight was delayed by 14 hours, she made sure that we not only had amazing coffee and tea set ups, but breakfast essentials too. She went above and beyond for us. The views were unbelievable, with both water and mountains. In the course of the stay, we saw moose and a bear family on the mountain. The family saint Bernard was also such a welcome addition! We loved her so much! Our family will return to Anchorage and we honestly can’t imagine staying anywhere else. Thank you for sharing your home.

Look no further

If you are busy researching where to stay during your Alaskan adventure, look no further. This is a beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable house. The view is stunning both day and night. The house is conveniently located to Anchorage and to grocery and staple shopping. It also makes a central base to take day trips, with Hope, Seward, and Talkeetna all within a 2-3 hour drive. The house comfortably slept 8 adults and teens and a toddler with room to spare. We highly recommend.

Anchorage stay

This home was perfect for our family (3 generations, 9 people). Listing and pictures are very accurate. The home is clean and spacious and the views are absolutely incredible. Our only downside (not a fault of the owner) is that is takes 20 minutes minimum to get anywhere due to being up in the hills. The views make up for it! Just an FYI for consideration on what you hope to do from the house. We saw black bears roaming around and a moose just up the hill. The toys provided were awesome for the kids and we loved the huge dining table to be able to eat together with space for everyone.

Anchorage Getaway

We had a group of 9 stay at the home. There was plenty of room and it was very nice for us. The views are amazing. We had originally booked the entire week and then shortened to a couple days to stay in other towns. That was a mistake, we should have spent the entire week here and did day trips to the other locations. This is a very nice property and I would rent again.

Wonderful property!

This property is everything you could want. Plenty of space for multiple families, very clean, great outside area/deck, and amazing views! Only a short drive to Anchorage for supplies and restaurants and very convenient to the Steward highway. Owner was great to deal with. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing accommodations for a large group.
