About this property
Grandma's Private Room and Bath - DISCOUNTS ON TOURS
Welcome to Grandma's Bedroom, a private room with a private bathroom in a shared Tudor-style home in Juneau's Mendenhall Valley. This is an affordable lodging option for travelers who want a comfortable private room while sharing the larger home's common spaces with other occupants.
The room is located on the second level and includes a king-sized bed, two nightstands, lamp, dresser, casual chair, mirror, and private bathroom.
The five-bedroom, three-bath home features spacious common areas with granite countertops, a full kitchen, dining area, living room, TV room, laundry room, and two additional full bathrooms. Each bedroom is rented separately, so other guests or long-term residents may be present during your stay.
The property is conveniently located near public transportation and offers plenty of parking. The bus stop is just steps from the front door. Juneau International Airport is approximately 2.5 miles away, Mendenhall Glacier is approximately 2 miles away, the University of Alaska is about 4.5 miles away, and the ferry terminal is about 6 miles away.
Mendenhall Glacier can be reached by car or on foot using the nearby paved bike path and gravel trail system. This property is in the Mendenhall Valley rather than Downtown Juneau, making it a practical choice for travelers who want easier access to the glacier and valley attractions.
Self check-in is available with a lockbox, so late arrivals are not a concern. Check-in begins at 4 PM and check-out is at 11 AM. Early arrival or late departure may be available for a $50 fee, subject to availability.
Kelli, the host, is a co-owner of an Alaska tour company offering more than 25 excursions throughout the state. Guests can receive a 10% discount on eligible tours, including whale watching, salmon bakes, rafting, kayaking, hiking, gold panning, Mendenhall Glacier excursions, Jeep tours, and other Alaska adventures. Please ask for details.
Important Expectations
We want guests to have a clear understanding of what they're booking. The private bedroom and bathroom should be clean and ready for arrival. The shared portions of the home are used by other occupants and are cleaned approximately twice each month, so they may show normal signs of shared household use.
We provide self check-in, responsive communication, a convenient Mendenhall Valley location, and the amenities specifically described in this listing.
Please remember that this is a shared home and not a private entire-house rental. If you prefer a completely private property or want to stay directly in Downtown Juneau, this may not be the best fit.
Juneau pricing varies significantly by season, and this room is intended to provide a more affordable alternative for visitors who prioritize location and value.

I had a great experience staying here! This was a more affordable option compared to other rentals in the downtown Juneau area. The house was very clean, the owners are easy to communicate with, the check in & check out process was easy, and the location in Mendenhall Valley is absolutely stunning.
We stayed here 2 different times while on our Honeymoon. Quite an interesting experience with learning to know people from other countries. We really enjoyed our stay!

Always clean quiet and comfortable! Oh And convenient!!
We stayed here 2 different times while on our honeymoon in AK. It was interesting to have the opportunity to visit people from different places around the world. Very comfortable accommodations!
There was a small glitch with my reservation, but the property manager immediately corrected it to my satisfaction and earned a 5 star rating. A lovely stay close to the glacier and bus line ($2) to downtown Juneau. Stay is very clean and well equipped. Highly recommended!
Grandma's Bedroom was quaint and exactly as advertised. Great value. Very clean and perfect for a person or couple on the cheap visiting Juneau. Close to the glacier and bus line. Best part was communication from host.
Once key system figured out..it was fine and dandy!!

Would recommend
Very conveniently located, close to Mendenhall Glacier, downtown Juneau, the airport, Auke Bay, and the National Shrine of St. Therese (which is a beautiful place to visit).
Kelli was very communicative and responded promptly to all my questions.
Our unit and the common areas of the house were clean and homey. Our room was large and the bed was very comfortable. As others have said, the shower is tight, but there was a full bathroom on the second floor that could easily be used.

Grandma's house
I want to start off by saying this property was calm and chill.this property was gives family vibes to me it like has a washer and dryer and everything. The host is great.they will go out of their way to make sure you have what you need here in juneau.while your here you will be be ok.this proberty is very comfortable and clean.
My friend and I stayed here for a few days of vacation in Juneau. We had a vehicle so that made our stay super convenient as we were near the airport and ferry terminal, and could easily make the drive into downtown when we wanted. The house was super clean and tidy, room was comfortable and check in was very easy. Only note was there was a massive wasp nest outside of the bedroom window which was interesting to watch but meant we couldn’t open the windows! I passed this on to the host who sounded like they would deal with it as soon as they could. Overall great stay.
Bathroom advertised to be with room did not have enough head clearance to stand for a shower

Comfortable and welcoming stay
GrandmasBedroom is an awesome place to stay while visiting Juneau. We stayed in grandma's bedroom. It is a large and beautiful room with a very comfortable bed. There's a coffee pot and coffee for your use. The bathroom is adequate although the shower space is a bit small. If you are tall, you can just use the shower down the hall. The shared kitchen and dining area is perfect. There's plenty of space and plenty of cooking utensils. There's even a freezer which we used for storing some fish we were bringing home. There's a washer and dryer for your use. The house is located about 1.5 miles from the Mendenhall glacier and a couple of miles from the airport. Grandma's house feels like home. We will definitely stay again and highly recommend it. 5 stars!!
