Weather was a big factor in out stay, as it was a residence, but they had a plow truck plow the berm and driveway, so we could get out, and a shovel to make trail out to my car. Also, when my granddaughter came up from Petersburg, it was easy to add her on to our stay. It worked out really well and we had variables as to whether we were going to have to stay one more day, if we couldn’t get on the ferry until Monday night. They also worked with us, so if we needed to extend one more day, they would accommodate us. We very much appreciated that!!

Thanks so much, Barbara! You guys were awesome! The TV in your room worked when Dawn tried, but then she reset the internet and logged you into the wrong network/password after that. The TV in the main TV room was on the wrong input/source, so she changed that and it worked. She did'n't revisit that TV after resetting the internet, so the internet settings weren't compromised. I wish you would have let me know that she didn't get that figured out. I thought that she had gone back the next day to fix it. I'm really sorry about that inconvenience. Thank you so much for everything! Next time you come back we will make sure that is dialed in for you so that you can stream TV with no effort.

Graduation week

Highly recommend. Clean well maintained. Quick response to our inquiries. It was perfect for us. Full disclosure; It is an older home the beautiful refurbish can’t eliminate some of those characteristics (closet doors that don’t close, bumps in the floor.. all very minor if you’re not a perfectionist) We would stay again without hesitation.

I'm not a big fan of spiders, there were spiders above the shower, on the toilet brush and above the sink in the bathroom. the room was attached to the house and would be nice if there was a notice that it leads to the living room of the main house. or completely separated from the house as it's an apt.

An Excellent Stay

I recently spent a week in Grandma's Suite and I was glad I did. Everything about the location was excellent and the site itself more than fulfilled my expectations. There was nothing that I needed to make my stay any more comfortable. I was especially glad to have such a wide variety of kitchen supplies and capabilities. To be sure, as it is clearly stated, Grandma's is no 5-star luxury locale—no chocolate mints on one's pillow at night and no valet parking—but no one ought to expect it either. If a casual, comfortable place to stay is what one is looking for at a reasonable (for Juneau anyway) charge, one should look no further than here.

We had our seperate spaces and were able to cook to save money. The location was great for people who have rented a car. I walked to Mendenhall (45 min) and did a lovely forest hike there, as well. Bus service is infrequent & taxis expensive. We got a vehicle for $224 through turo the final day. Overall we felt it was a little overpriced. The fees on top of base cost make it less affordable. The hostess was very willing to hear & address our feedback, however.

Grandma’s Suite was not at all what we expected.

Yes, it had a bed, a kitchenette, and the amenities it said it did, but for the price point I expected a lot higher quality of a vacation rental. I will give the property credit for being quiet, easy to access, and being in a convenient valley location, however, the hair throughout the bed sheets, mold in the shower, dirty dishes in the kitchen cupboards, tattered pillows, dusty window coverings, and duct tape over the front door handle, determine my rating of only 2 stars. Truth be told, I was appalled when I compared this rental with the beautifully renovated and clean rental a family member of mine stayed at on this same trip. It that was at a much better price point than Grandma’s Suite. This rental does what you need it to by being a place to sleep, but it should not cost what it does. I did not want to spend anymore time here than I had to, and frankly, I didn’t even want to get under the covers. So much so that my partner and I did not even stay the last night in the place. I would not recommend my grandmother stay here in this 'suite'.

Why they chose this property

This is a special property for me. I purchased it from my grandma's estate, after having spent a large part of my life there with my amazing grandmother who did so much for the Juneau community. I try to keep the place nice, as she would expect of me. She always ran a boarding house when she lived there, so it continues as such.

What makes this property unique

This is a studio apartment attached to a boarding house, so guests have access to a nice kitchen with granite countertops, and more kitchen appliances and amenities (they also have their own private kitchen in the apartment). Guests can use the common living, family, and dining rooms as well. All of the long-term residents in the house are nice and accommodating.
