Anchorage Gem

The property is a hidden gem! Our family stayed for two weeks and the property was well furnished and clean. The home is very spacious and comfortable for a two bedroom home. The kitchen was well stocked with high end appliances and utensils. There are numerous hiking trails and park right out the back door. Additionally, the owner was few personable and easy to work with. 😊

Even Better Than Expected!

Everything about this house is perfect! It is a 10-15 minute drive from the airport and close to downtown. There is a beautiful creek directly behind the house, with a walking trail and park. The house itself is so well appointed! The kitchen is well stocked for preparing meals with pots, pans, utensils and seasonings. The bathrooms have plush towels and full sized shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The living area is large and would be ideal for a family gathering. The dining table is HUGE! They even had cards, puzzles and games. There is a single car attached garage. And best of all, there is a full size washer and dryer. It feels like they anticipated all our needs. John was very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely stay at this property again.

I am very familiar with the city and surrounding communities and am happy to assist with any questions for travelers. I like to distance bike and routinely support many charities through distance riding and fundraising. I like to camp, hike, fish and kayak when time permits and am passionate about enjoying the outdoors in this beautiful state.
