Check in was easy breezy! The whole home was just as listed and the spaces were bigger than expected! Guest book was extremely helpful and communication was seamless. Additional items such as the pack and play and toys for kids were a bonus. Our family fit comfortably and it was an easy walk to anchorage in a lovely neighborhood. We would stay here again!

I've enjoy Alaska’s great outdoors and spent years whitewater rafting, camping, fishing, snow machining and cross country sking. My love for the outdoors encouraged me to purchase an RV and travel to visit all the US National Parks. Currently I spend time between the Kenai Peninsula and Anchorage.
