Jeremy was a very communitive host. The house was clean and well stocked. The house was very private and secluded but close to town. Loved the hot tub and game room.
This house was perfect for our family over Christmas! They had a Christmas tree all lit up for us when we arrived! The rooms were cozy - the game room was a huge hit - the hot tub was huge and so nice to sit in and look at the stars! This house had everything we needed for a very special family Christmas and the host was responsive and communicated well! We would definitely love to stay there again!

Thank you for choosing our place to have your family Christmas! You are welcome back anytime! Thanks again for keeping the place so nice and cleaning up so well!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The property manager was there to greet us as she was finishing up the final details for our stay. The location was beautiful with plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked and we had a great time during our stay.
Everything was wonderful, everything worked efficiently. It was a great weekend to relax and enjoy our time. Very close to stores and hikes. Perfect getaway vacation.
Great communication with Jeremiah. The house itself is really fun. We had two families with kids aged 13 to 20, and everyone found something enjoyable to do in the game room. We had some intense ping-pong and pool tournaments, and a few people really got into the video games. The adults appreciated the hot tub as well.
We enjoyed this property! It is close to all of our planned activities in Hatcher Pass. The house is spacious and has a great gameroom and a hot tub. We were so busy we didn't have a chance to try out the hot tub, but we'll stay and extra day here next time. The property is very private and comfortable. We slept well after a very full day outdoors each day.
The house was great for the number of people we had. The deck was nice to hang out on and the kitchen was great for cooking meals. The property and rooms were clean and comfortable. Only issue we had was on with the Vrbo side of things and once I have communication with Jeremiah, everything went smooth and he was very helpful.
Game room was chilly. Blinds didn’t work on all the windows. Clean house and the hot tub was nice! We would stay again. Good communication and hospitable. Thank you
Host was very responsive with any questions or concerns. The only issues were the property was not stocked with toilet paper and paper towel. There was also some clothing items from previous guests that were found.Otherwise, everything was really great and everyone had a phenomenal time.
Host was very good at communication. The house was a logistical dream for our athletes who competed at GPRA over three days. Some comments I overheard from the athletes included, “The bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. The game room is amazing and we are sad to leave it.. The property had ample parking with well plowed driveways. The house is spacious and fit eight student athletes and two adult chaperones. The hot tub was used, and the kitchen was well used. Everything was great for a large group. Nicely done!

About the host
Hosted by Jeremiah Greenier
I’m a retired U.S. Air Force veteran who loves building places people actually enjoy staying in. I’m hands-on, detail-oriented, and big on comfort, cleanliness, and clear communication. I host because I genuinely enjoy helping people experience Alaska the right way—whether that’s adventure, relaxation, or a little of both. If you need recommendations or help during your stay, I’m always a message away.
