About this property

Mountain View Retreat

Walk down the side path of the house to a magnificent view of the MatSu Valley The location is a perfect stopping point one hour from Anchorage and two and a half hours from Denali. There are two bedrooms that sleep six. One has a queen bed and the second has a queen bed with twin bunks. A large living room with tv with WiFi and streaming only on the tv is available. The mini kitchen, and bathroom are also yours to use. The kitchen has a microwave, mini fridge, toaster, small grill, and coffee pot for your use. The property is quiet and a perfect spot to come back to after a day of sight seeing. We live upstairs in the home and welcome any questions you might have about the area. Nice dogs on the premises but not in your private space.

Easy launch for Talkeetna

We flew into Anchorage and then stayed here in order to set ourselves up for a nice day trip to Talkeetna and back the next day, before heading to the peninsula for the rest of our 10 days in Alaska. The hosts were kind, the views were incredible, the space just right for what we were doing.

We enjoyed a relaxing couple of days at the Mountain View Retreat. We enjoyed the snacks (especially the muffins) and relaxing in the hot tub while enjoying the view. We checked out a couple of the restaurants the host recommended, and were pleased with both. The space was just right for our family of four, and we appreciated the cozy fireplace to take the chill off of rainy fall days. The beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were provided for both showering and the hot tub. The location was safe and blissfully quiet!
Pretty view from bedroom that has bunk beds in it

About the host

Hosted by Deb Ley

Host profile image
Thanks for booking our property. We truly love having people in our home. Dave currently serves at the Alaska Bible College and Deb teaches piano and manages the rooms and we both love dogs (Goldens and basset hounds). We also love the great hiking and biking in Alaska and just love that you have chosen our place to stay. Enjoy the beautiful view and the complimentary muffins and fruit as you relax at our place.

Why they chose this property

Its view!!!! We love Wasilla and all that it has to offer: grocery stores, a variety of places to eat, beautiful places to explore.

What makes this property unique

It is one hour from Ted Stevens International Airport and almost 2.5 hours to Denali. Its a short drive into Wasilla for food and delicious eating but half a mile to Three Bears for some pick up food or groceries/gas. Right around the corner is one of the best restaurants in the area, Settlers Bay Lodge and golf course. The space we offer is reasonably priced and has a large private area for guests to kick back and relax. The bedrooms are comfortable and the gas fireplace makes for a cozy space to relax after a long day of traveling and exploring. The mini kitchen is perfect for some light cooking with a grill outside to cook your fresh salmon
