We are thankful that the family has made this house available - we were a family group from 4-68 years old and were very comfortable because of all the space. We also liked that the house was not in the busy part of Alaska- nice for the kids to play outside without having to worry about a busy road.

Great house in a quiet neighborhood

I started in the house together with my colleagues for about five weeks, when we needed to work in Anchorage. There is a lot of space in the house and comfortable bed rooms for five persons who don't want to share a room. It was very easy to communicate with the host and he helped us with a lot of things.

Perfect Base Camp For Alaska Adventures

We took a group of high school seniors to Anchorage for their Senior Trip. This house was the perfect base camp. Most of the excursions we were doing were outside of anchorage within two hours' drive in different directions. The house was the perfect location and size for our group. Everyone had their own room and there was space to spare. The house is much bigger than the pictures imply and more beautiful than I was expecting. It was clean, filled with everything we needed and as private and secluded as we were hoping. Communication with the owner was instant. Any question we had was answered within minutes. I would highly recommend this for families, large groups and anyone else looking for a great place to stay while in Anchorage!! Thanks for adding greatness and class to our Alaskan adventure and helping to make memories these young people will never forget.

Semi- secluded house south Anchorage

Great house, very large, beautiful rooms. Couldn’t ask for a better representation of an Alaskan home. We had a large owl that visited us from time to time. We were close to some great hiking trails in the Chugach park and views of Anchorage. Also easy access to all parts of Anchorage. Downtown was about 15- 20 minutes away. The owners were easy to communicate with and answered questions promptly. Overall we felt like we were in Alaska and not the city of Anchorage.

Good for large group

Beautiful house. Older and needs some TLC but comfortable for the 6 of us. A few minor inconveniences that could have been avoided if the house had been inspected and prepared for our arrival. The major problem (no hot water) was very promptly attended to but it does take hours for the tank to heat so no baths or showers after a long day of travel. Had we known we would not be able to use the fireplaces due to a down draft problem, we may have reconsidered our booking. Overall, considering we basically just used it as a place to sleep, it suited our needs.

Lots of room with a bit of a check in snafu

We were in town for a funeral of a family member and the house was ideal for providing a lot of space for the family -- also with three different areas to congregate on top of 2 large dining areas. . It is close a nice part of town across from the zoo. We ended up getting into town as communicated to the owner though and had not been given the code for the keypad. Several of us congregated by the front door frantically trying to call the number provided as we needed to change for the viewing of our loved one-- no answer. A Google search allowed us to reach the owner who was out of town and provided us the necessary code. It is possible the snafu was on our end, but after over 15 VRBO stays, this isn't something we'd experienced before!

Great location

In the past, VRBO has sent me information a few days before the trip as to how to access the property, but this time, I had to contact the owner, and he immediately sent it to me. As described, the property is in a great location, has plenty of space, and is well-stocked with spices and other little necessities. The owner responded to my questions quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for large groups and families!!

This property was PERFECT for my group of 8 people!! The home has a large kitchen, dining room, 5 bedrooms and three sitting rooms. Everybody could have their own space to sit and talk. There were plenty of bathrooms, and plenty of privacy. I found the home to be tastefully decorated in what we would expect to see in Alaska. If you are looking for a renovated home to keep up with the 2010’s to present, you won’t find that here, But what you will find is everything you could need or want for a long stay in Anchorage!!! We loved it!!! No complaints!!

Comfortable and ample space for all

This property was ideal for our family as we enjoyed visiting Anchorage and the surrounding areas. We appreciated the location as well as the cleanliness, well stocked kitchen, and all the amenities. Our host, Bob, was very pleasant and made sure to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Check in, communication, and ample space for all our family was great. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking to find a great place for a “ home away from home” while visiting this area.

Great older home in South Anchorage

Our family stayed here at the start of our Alaskan adventure. It’s a big older home with lots of room to spread out. The only downfall for us was the fact that we booked several adventures taking us north and that added time to our outgoing and return drives. But that’s on us for selecting a south Anchorage location. Hosts were responsive to questions and the home was clean.

Great stay.

We loved this house. The house is huge. It is well insulated. Our group ranged from 8 y/o to 75 y/o. We could not hear each other in the morning. The house was comfortable and secluded, but close enough to town to be conveniently located. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great house for a larger group / family

Seven family members thoroughly enjoyed staying at the hillside house - room for all of us to have some space as well as great areas for the family to gather. Multiple sitting/living room areas and a big kitchen with dining area. The host was responsive and helpful - the area is peaceful and quiet. Would certainly recommend, especially for larger groups!
