Great Location, Great Property

This is the second time my group has rented this property, and it’s location, calm neighborhood, and overall high-end quality of the home and its amenities is the reason that we have and will continue to rent the space if it’s available.

Great house and location!

We had a great stay. The house was clean, well-stocked with games, kitchen supplies, and linens. We had great weather, so we were able to enjoy the cornhole in the lovely backyard, as well as a nice little neighborhood park only a few minutes walk away (it’s got a great playground for kids!).

Wonderful location in the heart of the valley. The property is Pinterest worthy and also family friendly. Stayed with five adults and one little kid. Beautiful decoration, comfortable beds, bathrooms, and functional kitchen. The showers were delightful and the space is bright and clean.

Perfect for our family vacation

This home is beautiful, comfortable, in a beautiful setting and had everything our family needed for our Alaskan adventure. It was truly a home away from home. The Millers were very helpful and responsive. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

The house was very clean. It was noisy with a pump turning on and off all night to move water from under the hose, Plenty od hot water. Would be very crowded for 6 people unles it was a family with small children. It served our purpose while in Juneau.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 October 2025
We thank you for the review. We wish there was a way to remedy the sump pump. Unfortunately, they are required in order to prevent the houses from flooding during Alaskas extreme rain events. We do our best with offering white noise machines to help with some of the noise. We wish you the best of travels and that you come back and enjoy Juneau again!

Ideal Family Vacation Home

The house was ideal for our family to relax in, and a home base for daily adventures. We enjoyed the fire pit and roasting marshmallows while taking turns playing corn hole. The kitchen was ideal for cooking up family meals, and outside grill perfect for fresh fish. The house is close by the glacier, Auke Bay, beaches and trailheads for adventures. It was also a lovely place to relax with coffee and a book or tv on a rainy day.

Very Nice

Good location. Clean and plenty to do. The back yard was a lovely addition. Lots of games to play and a nice welcome touch with wine and popcorn!! The house rules book included lots of useful information for things to do.

Great house for our family.

This is a purpose built/remodeled house specific for stays like ours. Having 2 bathrooms and multiple bedrooms is so much nicer than a hotel room. The house is in a neighborhood, not too far from anything in Juneau and very close to the Mendenhall glacier. Kitchen was clean, updated. Easy communication with the host.

Mendenhaven ... almost an A+

Great stay at this Juneau property. It was very clean and well equipped. Backyard and deck were an added bonus. The lack of closet space and bedroom dressers made living out of a suitcase a bit of a hassle for 8 days. But that was pretty much a minor inconvenience. Relatively quiet neighborhood; but the downside is that you couldn't quickly walk to any retail or food/coffee establishments. Taylyn was a great host and couldn't have been any more accommodating.
