Neal and his family were wonderful guests! They communicated well and followed all the guidelines for their stay. They took great care of our home and left everything in an immaculate condition. We highly recommend this family and would welcome them back at any time.
Amazing property. Felt like home away from home. We stayed there with our friends when we were visiting Anchorage and this was our base. Very well maintained, clean and well presented property. Jean was great to deal with and responded quickly when we had any questions. Would absolutely stay again.

Anup and his party were excellent guests. They took good care of the house, communicated well and left everything in great condition. It was a pleasure to host them.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. We loved watching float planes take off & land. This home is comfortable and the perfect place to relax.

Brenda and her party were outstanding guests. They left the house in excellent condition and everything was pristine. It was a pleasure having them stay at our house.
Jean is excellent. She had maps and activities suggestions. House was great and very comfortable
Clean, spacious and great for outdoor activities. Access to the boat and floating raft was so much fun

Steve and his party were excellent guests. They took very good care of the house and left everything in great shape. It was a pleasure to meet them and would welcome them back any time.
We were very happy with the property. The boys were disappointed that the jet ski was not in working order because it was the thing they were most excited about. They loved the bikes and rode several times.

Treassia and her party were great guests. They took care of the house and left everything in very good order. Five star family!
Do want to point out that the jet ski was not part of the deal nor advertised as such. In our advert on VRBO we offer an inflatable boat for lake excursions but the jet ski is not mentioned or offered.
The property was in the perfect location, in a great neighborhood with close access to highways. Everything is easy from there! Jean and John were amazingly gracious, attentive hosts, and the lake is your back yard! What could be better?

It was a pleasure having Jason and his family to stay. We are delighted that they enjoyed the house, the location and the lake so much. They took great care of the property and left everything in good order. A lovely family who we would welcome back anytime.
If you like planes and helicopters on a lake setting, this is the place
Property is located by main roads, easy access to downtown or out of town. Lake has some restrictions but lots of bird watching to be done.Great communication with host.

James and his party were great guests and left the house in excellent condition. We were happy to host them.
Nine of us enjoyed this beautiful, inviting home for the week leading up to our daughter’s wedding. (Our group included 7 adults and 2 kids, ages 7 and 11.) The home is spacious and beautiful, with amenities the hosts made available, from bicycles and a delightful raft for a peaceful excursion along the lake’s shoreline, to coffee and tea and other thoughtful touches that made us feel not only comfortable, but welcome. We could not have chosen a better home base for our family on our special week leading to the wedding. Our deepest thanks to our hosts, Jean and John Wright!

Diane and her party were outstanding guests. A delightful family! They stayed for ten days and took great care of the house. They left everything in an immaculate condition. We would welcome them back at any time and give them a five star rating.
Home was lovely and spacious for our family reunion. Beautiful lake setting with lots of windows on lakeside! We had a rainy week but house was bright and cheerful! Hosts were great and so easy to communicate with. Thanks!!!!!

Anita and her party were great guests. They took very good care of the house and left everything in immaculate condition. We were very happy to have them stay and pleased that they enjoyed the house and location.
This home (and it's definitely a home, not just an impersonal rental) was perfect for our multigenerational family group in town for a wedding. Plenty of comfortable welcoming space to gather, visit, and do wedding prep, along with plenty of room to take quiet time as needed. The deck, lake, and mountain views are amazing, and communication with our host couldn't have been easier. Highly recommend!

Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2024
It was a pleasure to host Kerry and her family and they were outstanding guests. They took really good care of the house and left everything in excellent shape. We enjoyed meeting them and having some communication. Five star guests all round!
We enjoyed an outstanding family week at the lake house! Jean and John are truly delightful hosts - responsive, friendly and relaxed. They clearly wanted us to enjoy their beautiful home, which we surely did. The view from the deck and living areas is beautiful and relaxing. We rented their Land Rover which was a pleasure to drive and good value for the summer high season in AK. A highlight of our stay was flying with John in his float plane right from the house dock! The flight inspired our son to begin pilot training. Our stay was an outstanding experience and we would love to stay again on future visits to AK. Truly an outstanding stay.

Richard and his party were outstanding guests. They took great care of the house and left everything in pristine condition.
It was a real pleasure to meet them and we are delighted that they enjoyed the house and the visit so much. They are a wonderful family - five stars all round!
Wow! The views! The Lake! The House! My wife and 3 grown boys loved everything about our relaxing 7 day stay here. After daytime visits to glaciers via ATV/Jet-Ski's and seaplanes, we'd get home, I'd grab a beer, my wife a glass of cabernet, we'd step out the patio deck and gaze at the lake below, trees above and and mountain tops in the distance. If you're debating, just treat yourself, you live once!

Nick, Susan and family were outstanding guests! They took great care of the house, left everything in immaculate condition and were a pleasure to communicate with. Delightful guests who we hope to welcome back again someday!
This is a lovely home on a beautiful lake with gorgeous views of snow-covered mountains. What more could one ask? This is not a standard house-for-rent that rotates between incoming customers. This is someone's home that they open up periodically in the most generous way to enable visitors to comfortably experience all that Anchorage has to offer. Kudos to them!
This property is lovely. We had everything we needed in the home and our group of 7 adults were comfortable the entire week we were there. The owners were available if we needed them during our stay and replied to a text message within minutes. The true magic of this home is the view to the back of the home and the float-plane lake the house sits on. Float planes take off and land during the day and are fascinating to watch. There were bald eagles on the lake as well which added to the "awe" of the location. I would highly recommend this property.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Aug 2023
Lisa and her party were exceptional guests. They loved being on the lake and were complimentary and communicative. They treated the home with great care and left everything in immaculate condition. We appreciated having them stay and would welcome them back at any time.
I reserved this stunning home for myself and three colleagues to use on a work trip. The house was gorgeous, and Jean and her easy-to-contact communication style made our stay even more enjoyable. I loved that she was onsite when we checked in; she’s just lovely. The views from the primary bedroom and the downstairs common areas were incredible. The outside deck offered so many options to sit and relax, and it was fun to wave at all the lake residents as they floated by. It was super fun and relaxing to float around the lake on the barge. I look forward to our next work trip. I’d definitely book again.
Our family just loved our stay in this fabulous home. It’s a beautiful location, with easy access to any and all adventures. The hosts were so kind and helpful. We look forward to another Alaska visit and would be thrilled to stay in this home once again. Thank you. Lisa M.
We stayed at Jean and John’s property for a week. It was a mix of work from home and fun activities after work. Lovely house with gorgeous lakeside views. Highly recommend and hosts were very responsive throughout our stay!

We were visiting our daughter and vacationing. We had a group of 8 and this house was perfect!! We had plenty of room and everything that we needed to make this a perfect vacation. This was SO MUCH nicer than staying in a hotel! This home is wonderful! There is plenty of room to hang out together and enjoy. The deck and yard were beautiful. We spent many hours relaxing and watching the float planes land. We even watched a bull moose across the lake! Our host was wonderful! She patiently answered all of our questions and made sure that our vacation was perfect!!

We had a wonderful stay at this rental home. The home was well maintained. The home owners were very attentive to any of our needs. We would highly recommend this rental home to anyone. We had 6 people staying there from age 18 month to 85 years old. With no problems at all. When we return to Anchorage we would love to return to this rental.
