This is an older home, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is a very private area with a beautiful view from the main floor & "nest" on the 3rd floor. Plenty of room for families with children BUT, we did have the pleasure of a black bear visiting, so be aware for children's sake and yours...

Perfect home for family get-together

This is a wonderful place to stay with children. There is an outdoor play-set and lots of toys and books in the house. The view from the big deck is beautiful, and the deck is a perfect place to just sit and visit.

Overall It Was a Nice Stay

Overall, we had a nice stay. We really enjoyed the ocean view and the inside of the house is beautifully decorated. I also really liked all the doterra products. However, a couple of people in our group greatly disliked them, which was a big issue as doterra products are all over the house and used in the cleaning supplies. I think someone before us might of used an oil-based cleaner throughout the kitchen area because everything was STICKY (which is my only complaint). My husband and I had the full-size bed on the main floor, which we thought was relatively comfortable. My daughter and mother slept in the bunk beds, which I guess were uncomfortable. My mother and father-in-law stayed in the upstairs bedroom and had several complaints about the bathroom (i.e. the poor water pressure and almost bashing their heads on the beam). The showers on the lower levels were fine. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful views. Comfortable home.

The house was perfect for our family to use for a home base while we visited sights around Anchorage, Whittier, and Seward. The views from the deck are amazing and the house had everything we needed for eight adults to stay comfortably for a week.

Rough Around The Edges

For the price point I ended up paying per night, I felt the home had a lot of wear and tear. The master bedroom is nice and bright, but the bathroom is a minuscule afterthought. The water pressure was so bad on second floor, we couldn’t get the shampoo out of our hair. The bedroom I stayed in on main floor was dark and musty, with rusty light fixture with no bulb. The only place to hang my clothes was on a plastic hook behind the door. Also, the ground level had an overwhelming odor of mildew. Again, for what I paid per night, not up to par. The uoside is, the neighborhood and location are A+, and the view was amazing.

Beautiful view and comfortable stay

We had an amazing time while in Anchorage, and we really enjoyed your home. It had all of the amenities one would need, except for air conditioning. But who would think you would need that in Alaska? We had very warm temps during our stay, which made some of the rooms uncomfortable for sleeping. I can't really complain about that, though, because everything else made up for it. There were plenty of beds for sleeping, but I might suggest a double bed where you have the bunk beds or to do a double bottom bunk with a twin top. Otherwise, it was perfect. The house was clean and stocked with spices and coffee, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, and other things you normally wouldn't find in a VRBO home. That was a nice surprise. We had an issue with a couple of the toilets, but they were taken care of very quickly. We were impressed with the response we received in that regard. This location is perfect. We were only about 15-20 minutes from downtown and going in the other direction, no a far drive to Whittier, Girdwood and Seward. All of which are wonderful places to visit as well. We enjoyed many evenings on the deck, which had a spectacular view. You could see Potter's Marsh down below, and it's only a ten-minute drive or less to get there. We were able to see a moose, salmon, and enjoy a nice walk on the boardwalk there. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your home. We would definitely recommend it. Sincerely, Cathy

A House with Views

The Hillside Home is a house with a beautiful view of the water. It was a great base for day trips in and around Anchorage. The rooms were comfortable and allowed us the opportunity to eat and visit as a family after arriving in Anchorage following several hectic days touring the northern Alaska interior. Nice, comfortable and convenient to the city and the airport. I would stay there again. Thank you Giroux Family!

This was the perfect place to stay in Anchorage!

This is the best place to stay in Anchorage. Just a few minutes outside the city so you are in the beautiful woods with an amazing scenery. Our family stayed for a week and we did so much. Glaciers, whale watching, hikes, great food, and wildlife are all within driving distance. This house was perfect. It had a lot of space for my big family. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some nice dinners. The rooms were cozy and comfortable with clean linens and towels. My kids loved playing in the yard on the play equipment, tire swing, and slide. The deck has a great view of the bay and you will love watching the sunset as you sip on a warm drink. Our host was amazing. She was gracious in answering all our questions and really helped us plan a fun trip. She always had honest answers and understood what kind of vacation we were looking for. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Have fun!!!

Fantastic house with great view of Turnagain Arm

Don't get discouraged that you'll need to climb a gravel road up to the house, the back deck and interior (from dining, kitchen, living) as well as loft has a great view of sunsets over Turnagain Arm. Loft bedroom does have a door to allow folks to sleep in even when early risers stir in the kitchen. Yard has a playset with swings, monkey bars, and clubhouse with slide. Clear weather day? Drive down to Potter Marsh in minutes to birdwatch or spot other wildlife - we saw a muskrat - and also lots of salmon too. Boardwalk was great fun for the kids and those who are less mobile to enjoy. It's not too remote, 15 minutes and you can drive to the conveniences of nearby grocers, bakeries, and restaurants. Another 15 and you'll be able to reach the additional choices of downtown restaurants. A good home base for exploration to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Chugach (to the southeast of Anchorage), Whittier or Portage Lake. With beds for 11, we had flexibility with 7 adults and 3 kids. Our children (ages 3 to 7) enjoyed a house that was stocked with toys, books, and games along with bunk beds to boot. No demands for screen time during our stay. We stayed here for four days as a gathering point for family traveling from different places before an excursion north to Denali.

Perfect stay for friends

Seven of us (three couples and a single) stayed for 7 nights. The accommodations were perfect! Very comfortable and a great home base after each day of touring/sightseeing. We did see evidence of bear(s) a couple mornings, but this is Alaska! Nothing to be alarmed about, and it was just one more thing to enjoy talking about out on the deck in the evening. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Anchorage.

Jeff! My father grew up in St. Paul!! 👍🏽 We are so happy that the house and property worked well for your group. The local wildlife is definitely part of the charm of the location and we'll often see moose chomping on the trees on the hill below the deck as well... (or viewing platform as we like to call it) 😉

Superb Experience

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home! We spent hours sitting on the deck watching the tide come in and go out! The sunset over the water was breathtaking (even though it didn't really get DARK) We were here with family for a visit and get away from the city, and it really did the trick. Home is well stocked, beds are plentiful and comfy.

Michelle, the view is quite mesmerizing isn't it?! Thank you for staying with us during your trip to Alaska, I'm so happy you loved the deck. It's one of our favorite aspects of the property, despite the lack of sunsets in July because of the "midnight sun". 😉

Wonderful experience!

Our family of 11 had a great time at this property. My husband and myself took the top floor bedroom, my son, his wife and their three children took the main floor bedrooms and my daughter, her husband and two young sons took the basement bedroom. We each had our own bathroom and it worked out very well. I was uncertain how I wanted to rank the property. Our only complaints were the toilet on the main floor ran very slow and the upstairs shower did not have good pressure. I went with the five star because of the layout working so well for us and being a little in the country which we liked. The house is kind of rustic but that fit in great with our Alaskan vacation. We really enjoyed the beautiful view and the deck although it was rainy and chilly most days of our vacation. My 6 year old grandson and 4 year old grandson loved the outdoor play equipment. Baby toys and games were also at the house. Brad and Jessica got back to us quickly when we had questions.
