About this property

Enjoy the Alaskan experience in a quiet, wooded neighborhood just 10 minutes from shopping, fast food, or ocean and mountain views and trail heads. Keep an eye out for wildlife such as moose, lynx, rabbits, squirrels and birds.

When you are at the apartment enjoy many family games and toys for infants through elementary age kids. No need to carry a bunch of stuff with you.

Full kitchen is stocked with baking items and amenities for cooking your own meals. You can even contract for me to pick up your groceries ahead of time for you at Costco and Walmart.

There is one large bedroom with a king size bed, with room to set up a Pack and Play or crib mattress. The shared space in the living room has a queen and a full size sofa sleeper. For kids and teens there is a special kid cave (4 ft. high) with a queen mattress. (Adults have been opting to sleep in the cave too, for a little more privacy.) We can sleep you and your extended family and friends very economically.

On the same property we have an additional apartment available. If you are traveling with a large group of up to 14, consider renting both spaces. 4-6 guests can sleep in this newly renovated apartment adjoining our house. (Search under Quiet Apartment in the Woods.)

Great location, great beds, and great cinnamon roles

My group of four loved staying at Happy's place. It is a shared home with 3 different properties to rent. We were in the basement, and there was some noise from the group who stayed on the main floor. When I told Happy, she was incredibly kind and handled the situation for us with no issue. Plenty of room for 4 adults and a full kitchen to make life easy. We would stay here again!

Love the location and easy entry

We enjoyed our stay and had literally all you could need! I didn't realize she would bring Spaghetti and other food if you asked she is pretty great!

We only stayed for two nights before moving on to other areas of the state, but this property was a great first stop. Convenient from Anchorage, ample space for our family of four and a friendly host.

our stay

VRBO was very nice, clean, and quiet. Located in a gorgeous, wooded setting. Accomodations were one bedroom with a sleeping alcove for children or agile young people. There were comfortable fold out beds in two couches for extra sleeping space. Our host was very gracious and we would certainly stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Brian and Happy Chronister

We built this home many years ago because we loved the beautiful rural setting. Our four children have all grown up in this home. They are adults now and our grandchildren love to come here to play.

We enjoy people and one of my hobbies is entertaining. I love to cook and bake. That is why this VRBO is equipped so that you can bake if you wish.

Why they chose this property

We created a self-contained one bedroom apartment on the ground level of our 4000 square-foot home. This provides enough space for several adults and several children if you don’t mind sharing one full bathroom.

There is a full kitchen with an island that seats two in addition to a dining table that seats six. A high chair and booster seats are available.

What makes this property unique

Keep an eye out for wildlife. Today I saw a porcupine at the edge of the yard. In the spring mother moves have been known to give birth to their calves in our front yard. We have wild rabbits that frequently run around in our front yard. If you like to walk we are about 15 minutes away from Rabbit Creek. Our street provides us with a wonderful view of the Chugach mountains.

We are located on the south end of Anchorage, so it is easy to get going to many scenic attractions and activities in the mountains and south of town.
