We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home! The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe, which made it easy to relax. One of the highlights was the beautiful back patio—perfect for morning coffee while listening to the birds chirping. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free, with clear instructions provided ahead of time. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook a few meals during our stay. Overall, a peaceful and comfortable retreat—we’d definitely come back!

From out of state, in Anchorage for a family event. This was a great rental. Bit of a snafoo with the automated check-in but we got it figured out and settled quickly. Host is attentive and very helpful. The house was clean and very well kept. Got it on good authority from a local family member, that it's one of the nicer, well built homes in the area. 😉 Located in a quiet, family friendly neighborhood. Backing up to a green belt with some resident moose! The house is within walking to a school playground, groceries and coffee! Beds were large and comfortable with additional linens and pillows for all. Plenty of towels for our group of 6. Decor was sparce. There were a few things we noticed, the temps reached 80 degrees during our stay and we had to hunt for the thermostat as it was sweltering and opening the windows let in the midnight sun. Sleep the first night was limited. The primary bathroom is spa like with a huge tub, but there wasn't enough hot water to fill the bath tub to a reasonable soaking depth. Shower was perfect and had good pressure. Had to search around to find additional trash bin liners would recommend a few of those in each bathroom. The garage which was inaccessible to guests had eerie blue/white lights on inside during our entire stay, not a big deal but slightly odd and everyone wanted to know what was hidden in there. Overall a great stay! One of the better rentals we've had. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone staying in Anchorage.

The property is nice, clean and functioned really well for our stay. The location was also great, close enough to shopping but not busy. We were really thankful to be allowed to check in early because of our flight schedule. On our second night my husband and I hopped into bed and pulled up the covers and the bedframe gave out. I reached out to the property manager immediately at the number provided when we checked in to let him know the situation and never got a response back. My husband and I took the mattress and box springs off and fixed the frame ourselves so that we could sleep in the bed. The supports are not secured, you can see the spots where there are supposed to be screws to make the frame solid and there are only a couple through the whole framing so we did the best we could to re-secure it and spent the rest of the trip trying to move on the bed as little as possible. The frame definitely needs to be redone so that it’s doesn’t give out again on someone else. There were no bath mats in any of the bathrooms so we used the hand towels and on the last day while starting a load of laundry found all of the bath mats and someone’s personal clothes damp in the dryer. I had reached out the night before checkout to see if we could do a late check out because our flight isn’t until late afternoon and never received a response. A car sat outside at 9:40am until we left so we felt rushed and uncomfortable. Great property but management left a lot to be desired.

We had an incredible stay at this property and couldn't have asked for a better home base for our Alaska trip.The location was absolutely perfect. You feel close to nature thanks to the beautiful woods behind the house, but we were still close to the main roads, making it very easy to get on the road and explore.The house itself is very spacious, making it perfect for our extended family. There were multiple spaces to gather between the 2 floors & the deck, which was the perfect spot to unwind at night in the midnight sun.Logan, the host, was fantastic. He was incredibly helpful from start to finish, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and was awesome with communication. We really appreciated his hospitality. It makes such a difference to have a home with a local owner that cares and takes pride in the home & hosting your family. If you are planning a trip to the Anchorage area with a family or group, I totally recommend staying here. We hope to be back again!

The house was clean lots of space. It was just as described.The only negative is no AC, our last day the house did heat up. In Alaska I didn't think AC was needed but the house did get warm. Opening the windows did cool it down over the evening hours. It was overall a pleasant stay
