We will strive to provide the best customer service and improve as we go with feedback from our guests. We hope to earn your five-star review! Your expectations should be limited to what is promised here, and reviews should reflect how we did with these promises. Before submitting your review, please remember to base it on the following criteria and what was promised to be provided for the price paid as follows:
Easy check-in process – You'll be able to self-check in. Kelli will give you check-in details prior to arrival, including a lock box code. You'll be able to access the rental at your leisure after check-in time, at 4pm. We offer early check-in options, if it's available a couple days prior to your arrival for $25-$50, depending on your arrival time.
Great Communication – Kelli is known to be responsive to guests before, during, and after their stay. You can expect prompt responses to your questions. She'll respond to web site messages as soon as she can.
Clean Accommodations – Your private home should be sparkling clean.
Great Mendenhall Valley Location – It's steps from the city bus stop and two miles from the famous Mendenhall Glacier which you can get to by car, or walking on a paved bike path or gravel trail. You can take the bus for one mile and walk the second mile. This is not a downtown Juneau property. Downtown Juneau is substantially more expensive than the Mendenhall Valley, so this location for the price should not be compared to that of downtown. If you want to be downtown, and don't want to take a 45 minute bus ride to go 16 miles, then this space is not for you.
Accurate Description of the space - I try to make continuous improvements when guests make suggestions and do my best to keep the changes updated and published. If we missed something please let me know, so I can update the information. If you are missing something you were counting on, please let me know immediately, so we can try to provide it for your stay.
Great Value – Juneau is expensive, especially during peak season. The price fluctuates depending on the season. We have to charge more when the business is there, so that we can afford to have it vacant for long, slow periods. Our pricing as based on supply and demand in the area.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Class Reunion in JUNEau
Had a class reunion with friends from across the country for 1 week. Appreciate the large space, including 5 bedrooms to accommodate our party. Found there to be a lot of issues with the home however; broken toilet, kitchen chair, door handles, etc. Also did not have adequate amount of dishware for our large party to enjoy dinners together without staggering. This was communicated to owner who quickly dropped off appropriate amount of dishware/silverware, etc, we appreciated her promptness to improve the situation. Overall, it was a good spot to stay at for a large group.
