Very accommodating hosts helped us check in smoothly. I was surprised that one of the beds for our family of six was an air mattress in the living room, but I may not have read the fine print… the mattress was easy to set up and not a problem. It is an extremely convenient location next to airport and grocery, but there is also a lot of highway noise that makes sleeping in the living room challenging. Overall good experience. Everything was very clean and the accommodations were solid.

Nice place, conveniently located.

Conveniently located right down street from Fred Meyers (local store). Everything was clean and well kept. Comfortable beds. Last day we had a black bear walk right by the front window, which was exciting.

Cozy with great layout

This was a great spot right near the road but surrounded by rain forest so feels secluded with great scenery. A good halfway point between Mendenhall Glacier and downtown Juneau. The apt layout was great for our family, the kitchen was a good size and having laundry was awesome. The owners were very responsive. One thing to note was the 3rd bed was not a futon but an air mattress.

Home Away from Home

The place was very comfortable, clean and well supplied. It had everything we needed, including lots of pillows and blankets for kids to crash on the couches, air mattress, and floor. Bill and Penny were extremely accomodating, he even snow plowed around our car. Great central location, Fred Meyer is literally right down the road. I would definjtely stay there again!

Home Away from Home

We absolutely loved our stay here at Penny&Bill's. They were super friendly from the get-go of booking, to allowing such a spacious apartment, to providing amenities and a stocked kitchen. We had an unexpectedly nice and comfortable stay! We will definitely book with Penny&Bill for future family stays. Thank you :)

Cozy place

The apartment was cozy and had a great location. Very close to town. Penny kept communication the entire time. We just had a bit of an issue with our Netflix account. She was unable to help. It would have been nice to have more games to pick from. We ended up watching tv on our phones. It was an overall good stay. Would recommend this place.

Perfect, convenient spot in Juneau!

Great spot, perfectly located between Mendenhall Glacier and downtown Juneau. Comfortable apartment. Hosts were attentive and helpful when we needed resupply of bathroom items. An upgrade to the apartment would be screens on the windows to improve ventilation without letting bugs in. Other than that, it was a great resting spot for our family of 6.

A splendid little place. I was ready to move-in.

This little home is right by the airport, and I was worried about possible airplane noise. But I never heard a sound, it was perfect, and restful. It's the downstairs level of their home, not connected directly to the host home upstairs. These hosts really care about making your stay great. (We were staying for work, but I'd love to book again for vacation) I would highly recommend this place, it's got everything you need. Clean and comfy, close to everything, and a great value.

Great location to stay in Juneau!

Penny our host was very gracious to let us check in early as our flight arrived several hours prior to check- in. The downstairs apartment is clean and comfortable. The property is centrally located to all activities and is about 10 minutes from downtown . Fred Meyer is down the street. There are many trails to hike and lots of mining and Tlingit history. The scenery is outstanding!
