About this property
Mendenhall Private Room In Shared Home - DISCOUNT ON TOURS
Relax in your private room in a nicely remodeled Tudor-style house, conveniently located in the Mendenhall Valley. This affordable accommodation is a private room in a shared five bedroom three bath home. On some booking platforms this may have a caption that indicates it is an entire private space, but it isn't. We don't have the ability to change the categories in some cases. This room is ideal for one person, therefore the advertised price is for single occupancy. We will accommodate a second person upon request.Your private room in the hostel has a queen bed, night stand with lamp, dresser with large mirror, casual chair, and lots of closet and floor space. Mendenhall Room is on the second level of the property.
This home boasts granite countertops, and large open spaces. It has three full bathrooms, a TV room, living room, kitchen, dining, and laundry rooms. The house is peaceful and comfortable, where people are friendly, and mostly keep to themselves. The bus stop is steps away from the front door, and the house has plenty of parking. It's 2.5 miles from the airport, 2 miles from the famous Mendenhall Glacier, less than a mile from Duck Creek Market convenient store (about a 15 minute walk), 4.5 miles from the University of Alaska, 6 miles from the ferry terminal. Walk to the glacier on the bike path or along nearby trails that run behind the house. Other occupants in the house include long-term residents so all of your supplies and amenities are in your room. You will have a bathroom and kitchen caddy, with your shampoo, soap, cleaning supplies, towels, etc… in it, so you'll be set with all you need.
Aunt Margaret, lived in this house for over 30 years, and always had a room for someone who needed one. Kelli has continued to keep this house available for affordable housing for long-term residents and Alaska visitors. Your private, rented room will be clean and ready for you. The condition of the house is that of reasonable living with roommates. You'll have your own shelf in the refrigerator and are welcome to use any of the supplies/equipment in the kitchen and enjoy use of all common areas. The common areas of the house are cleaned twice per month, but not necessarily immediately prior to your stay.

We will strive to provide the best customer service and improve as we go with feedback from our guests. We hope to earn your five-star review! Your expectations should be limited to what is promised here, and reviews should reflect how we did with these promises. Before submitting your review, please remember to base it on the following criteria and what was promised to be provided for the price paid as follows:
Easy check-in process – You'll be able to self-check in. Kelli will give you check-in details prior to arrival, including a lock box code. You'll be able to access the rental at your leisure after check-in time, at 4pm. We offer early check-in options, if it's available a couple days prior to your arrival for $25-$50, depending on your arrival time.
Great Communication – Kelli is known to be responsive to guests before, during, and after their stay. You can expect prompt responses to your questions. She'll respond to web site messages as soon as she can.
Clean Accommodations – Your private apartment should be sparkling clean.
Great Mendenhall Valley Location – It's steps from the city bus stop and two miles from the famous Mendenhall Glacier which you can get to by car, or walking on a paved bike path or gravel trail. You can take the bus for one mile and walk the second mile. This is not a downtown Juneau property. Downtown Juneau is substantially more expensive than the Mendenhall Valley, so this location for the price should not be compared to that of downtown. If you want to be downtown, and don't want to take a 45 minute bus ride to go 16 miles, then this space is not for you.
Accurate Description of the space - I try to make continuous improvements when guests make suggestions and do my best to keep the changes updated and published. If I missed something please let me know, so I can update the information. If you are missing something you were counting on, please let me know immediately, so I can try to provide it for your stay.
Great Value – Juneau is expensive, especially during peak season, and while this is a more affordable option, we understand that it can seem expensive. Part of the value is the ability to rent for only one night and have an additional person. The price fluctuates depending on the season. We have to charge more when the business is there, so that we can afford to have it vacant for long, slow periods.
Guest access private guest room and all common areas of the house.
Self-check in with a lock box, so late check-in is not a problem. You'll be given the lock box code a few days prior to your arrival.
Check-in is at 4pm and check out is at 11am. We will offer you early check-in and late check-out options if it's available, a couple days before your arrival/departure for a fee of $25-$50 depending on your desired schedule and availability.

Mendenhall Room
The Mendenhall room at Grandma's House was clean, warm, comfortable and conveniently located in the Mendenhall Valley. There are welcoming living room and parlor areas, the kitchen is fully furnished, bathrooms are spotless and the price is very reasonable. I definitely will plan to stay there again. It's becoming my Juneau home away from home.
Great stay as always. Came here this time last year and chose this as our place to stay. Was not disappointed then and wasn't disappointed this time around either! Clean and well kept, great amenities like washer and dryer (bring your own soap). No complaints!
Helpful to have kitchen at your disposal and a lovely area where folks leave items they no longer need (books/boots during my stay were available). Room was large and bed very comfy

Safe, secure, clean
Thank you for everything. We felt safe and secure.
The property was very clean and neat. Choosing a shared common space made me nervous but I was pleased to find the property very clean and neat. It was quiet and the location was perfect for the sightseeing I did while in Juneau. It was a great value and I would happily stay there again.
the house was very nice, clean and comfortable. It was very affordable compared to the other hotels and BDs in Juneau. this was a new experience for me, the shared house. I look forward to my next visit and will definitely recommend this to my friend and family.
Clean, nice, comfortable. This was exactly what we needed and exactly what was advertised. Thank you for a good night sleep.

Perfect for our needs
Able to walk to glacier. Not much nearby as far as shopping/food but we knew that ahead of time and if you have a car it's close to anything you might need or want. It's also right on the bus line! Everything was clean and as expected. Thank you!
