Everything we wanted.....and more
We were looking for somewhere close enough to town to pop in for a bit of shopping or dinner but far enough removed to be out of the hustle and bustle and that is exactly what we got. The unit was beautifully presented with EVERYTHING you could want for your stay. 2 bedrooms to choose from, a well stocked kitchen with huge fridge/freezer, dishwasher and everything required to cook up a feast. All we had to provide was our own food and personal items. We had the choice of taking a bath or shower and there were lots of towels and if you did run out, you could just put a load through the washer and dryer in the well equipped laundry. There is even an ironing board if you require it. Seriously, this place had everything and has been prepared for guests with love and a sense of fun, with all the furnishings themed around wildlife. We are so pleased that we chose Donna's place and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Place
This place was a perfect fit for our family. Great area to be. Quiet yet close to amenities. Our Host, Donna was amazing! The space had everything you could think of and was very cozy and inviting. Close to hiking trails, skiing and the mountains. We saw Moose every day. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Little “Peace” of Heaven
Wow! What a sweet little home away from home we found in Alaska … thank you Donna and Ed for sharing!! We absolutely wanted for nothing!! Everything was so well appointed!! From the super comfy bed to a kitchen that made it so hard for us to even want to go out to eat. Gorgeous view … especially at night looking over the twinkling lights of Anchorage. Loved the variety of birds that visited everyday and even the moose that visited at night. Extremely well located to grocery stores, etc. but far enough away to be able to enjoy the peace and quiet. Winter is a perfect time to experience Alaska … Fur Rhondy, Iditarod, Northern Lights, Denali, Turnagain Arms, Moose, Eagles, Otters ,Seals … just to name a few of what this beautiful state has to offer. Again Donna, thank you guys so much!!

It was very comfortable and beautiful views. It was great to have all the comforts of home!
This was the last stop on The instructions to get in were very easy to get in. It was a little confusing finding the rental because the address given was 10000 but the building was 9998. We were very happy with the house! Thank you for sharing your space with us.
