About this property

Alaskan lodge-like living - 15 min to city - 5 min to great hikes

This is our fourth year doing VRBO and we are looking forward to meeting you. The house is special for many reasons; read our reviews and hear from others. If privacy and outdoor charm are important to you; this is the place for you! We built this home and take pride in the details, down to the art work in each of the 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom has french doors that open to a deck that is a perfect for taking in coffee at sunrise. The Caribou Room, Goat Room, and Whale room have wonderful views and are set apart from the Master Bedroom. Our reviews rate our private setting, evenings around the fire pit and wide porches as our best amenities. Book your Alaskan get-away and see what the good life in Alaska has to offer.

Beautiful and peaceful wrapped in a truly Alaskan ambiance. Sit on a covered front porch and watch moose waltz across the park-like lawn. More than 2 1/2 acres of peaceful, quiet solitude. You are on your own on the mid-hillside area of Anchorage literally within 10 minutes of all the hiking, shopping and fine dining you or your guests can enjoy. Secluded backyard fire pit patio and huge wraparound front porch. Watch the chickens meander around and grab fresh eggs every morning. Enjoy the wildlife mounted inside including brown bear, caribou, king salmon and Alaskan mountain goat. World-class hiking, mountain biking and running trails across the street at Hilltop recreation area.

* 5 Minutes from the Alaska Zoo
* 5 Minutes from Anchorage's Premier Golf Course
* 10 Minutes from Anchorage's Largest Shopping District
* 15 Minutes from Anchorage International Airport

If you're coming to Alaska, why not live like a real Alaskan ? Owners are born and raised in the Great Land and eager to share the stupendous sights and surrounding activities of Anchorage, north to Denali or south to the epic fishing on the Kenai Peninsula.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Minnery

We built this home ourselves and have lived here our entire lives. Would be honored to share our dream with you.

Why they chose this property

Ideal for special celebrations and family reunions. Large kitchen and lots of natural light.

What makes this property unique

This house feels like country, easy living. But is close to all of the city restaurants and attractions. Best of both worlds. Quiet evenings, but convenient access to daytime adventures.
