The space was ideal for the needs of the group of 13 adults (and one young child who was present for periods of time for two of the three days, but not overnight). Well-equipped kitchen, beautiful setting (weather permitted a view of Mt. Denali), and the hot tub was a nice plus.

Our family of nine enjoyed our stay. The "littles" really enjoyed the kids' room. We enjoyed having 2 living spaces so people could spread out. It was very convenient to be so close to the grocery store, coffee shops, and donut shops. It was also nice being on the outer edge of Anchorage area as we explored north of the city.

Perfect Family Getaway!

We are so glad we found this property for our family vacation! We had a total of 16 people (grandparents, parents, and grandkids) and this property was perfect! The house was very open and spacious with plenty of sleeping arrangements for all of us, and the kitchen was perfect for all of us to join together for our meals! The location was also amazing, and allowed us to enjoy multiple beautiful hikes in the Eagle River area. I'd definitely return to this property in the future and recommend it to anyone visiting this area of Alaska!

Nice place for a medium sized group.

Beautiful place with lots of great light (both from windows and fixtures) which was a plus. Early check-in or late checkout would have been nice, especially since there were no bookings before or after the dates of our stay. The heat downstairs turns off whenever there isn’t someone walking around in the room consistently, and it gets quite cold quickly, which wasn’t very comfortable. Overall nice place.
