Cute place with historic charm. The house was perfumed and the bathroom was a bit cramped, but the location was great and the host was clear, friendly, and welcoming.
This historic log cabin is within walking distance of the center of downtown Anchorage and is always a joy to come back to. Small and cozy - 2 or 3 people can be comfortable. Love this place!
A charming place to stay in Anchorage, with great access to the pubs and other downtown highlights. Very cozy and full of character! Highly recommended!
Very close to downtown Anchorage. We were able to walk to restaurants and markets in the downtown area. Property was very clean and had lots of charm and character.
Our second time staying here - last time was -15F. Much warmer this trip! We love this cute little cottage and especially its central location to everything in downtown Anchorage. Access to the coastal trail is a huge plus!
We stayed a couple of nights in Anchorage after a longer tour around Alaska. This spot was a great area to walk to coffee and shops downtown and was amazing to stay in a home with so much history and heritage. Communication with our host was easy!
This cabin has a ton of character. The neighborhood is quiet and just a few blocks from the coastal trail. The host does a great job with providing conveniences and touches around the home to make you feel welcome.
Great location for all of our downtown adventures. Parked the car and never had to drive until we left. House is very cozy and stayed plenty warm even though temps hovered around 0F.

Great location and comfortable, cute home
The house was conveniently located, cute, and comfortable. However, I asked for the door code ahead of our arrival, explaining that I would not have access to wifi to access the code onVRBO once I left the airport. They refused to give it to me until 4 PM, checkin time, so we had to wait at the airport until 4, to get th3 code. They also did not explain how to use the lock after punching in th3 numbers, so that took awhile to figure out.

The property met all expectations but communication with the host was lacking. On two occasions i mentioned we had no wi fi and were left driving around the city seeking wi fi just to get the access code. I feel i wasted my whole day waiting to get the access code which was issued 30 minutes before check in.

We liked the history of the house and having all the amenities of a house for our stay.
We loved his small and cute little cottage in downtown Anchorage. It was very clean and we could tell the owners had taken special care in setting it up. We were able to walk right out the front door to the 4th of July parade in Delaney Park. We would stay here again!
