If you're for nice quiet place to stay with the family then look no further! The neighborhood is very laid back with lots of room between houses. This house is set at the back of its lot which gives you a giant front yard to play in. There are two small decks perfect for morning coffee. The inside of the house has a comfortable, welcoming feel. Overall, nice country type charm.

This home was absolutely beautiful inside and out. The decor was all about Alaska. All the little things were thought of and the owners left a very helpful manual which listed local cuisine and excursions. Also answered any questions that we may have had about the property.

True home away from home

We had a fantastic stay in this house. Absolutely everything we could have needed was there--Alaska information galore, laundry and fans to clean up and dry out after adventures, spices for cooking. And many things beyond--beautiful flowers! Ice-cream maker! The place is immaculately kept. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

quiet and comfortable

This house was a cozy and quiet space. We enjoyed the many kitchen appliances and cookware. The bedrooms could use some mirrors and the bathroom off of the laundry room could use an outlet for a hair dryer but other than that, it was overall a nice experience!

Response from VrboOwner on 14 July 2023
Thanks Patty, Glad to hear you enjoyed the house and were comfortable. We do have small mirrored artwork in the bedrooms, definitely too small for much more than for taking a peak to see how you look, the bathroom mirrors would be recommended for anything else. I agree, it would be awesome if the utility bathroom had been wired for electric! In lieu of that I do have a power strip just outside the bathroom door on the office desk; I imagined people could plug in their grooming tools. and utilize the bathroom mirror or the full length mirror next to the office desk for styling. I appreciate your suggestions!

This great property keeps getting even better! Attention to detail, artistic, open, great flow, super clean, upscale, well equipped and then some, with lots of "new" - these hosts really outdo themselves with this peaceful, well-kept property that is completely dedicated to the guests experience.

Beautiful property, very well maintained. Quiet neighborhood. Prime location with easy access to surrounding tourist attractions and local activities outside of Anchorage. The host, Cynthia, was very attentive and responsive during our entire stay. Not being used to the summer time in Alaska, I texted a question at 11:30pm, and she responded right away.

Quiet Alaskan Retreat

We booked this home for two weeks so we could enjoy family who live nearby, fishing, and a wedding! I will definitely book here again. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, seasonings, and appliances one could ever need. We loved sitting by the window while eating breakfast and seeing all the little birds come to the feeder. It rained for most of our stay, but we still enjoyed sunny afternoons on the front deck. The beds were comfy. Cynthia, the owner, was super easy to communicate with and very helpful with local information. It was the perfect place for all five of us!

4 Generation Retreat

Cozy, artistic, newly remodeled, luxury cabin with amazing design features that have the vacation guest in mind. You really feel pampered and welcome here. It looks so bright, clean, warm and inviting in person. More so than you can envision in the online photos. The yard is large and well kept, with flowers and song birds. 2 decks for relaxing or enjoying meal time, a large master suit and sunken living room make this a great place to get away for a couple or a group of 7. We hope to come back every year!

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Jacobson

Host profile image
We are Tony and Cynthia Jacobson, a lifelong Alaskan couple who raised three beautiful girls in this home. After they grew up and flew the coop we decided to continue the good life in remote Alaska. This gave us the chance to offer our Wasilla home, filled with our extensive Alaskan art, artifact and literature collections, as a vacation rental. Tony is a private pilot and we travel back and forth from our home near Skwentna, Alaska in our Cessna 180 with our silly beloved yellow lab Dog. We love the idea of sharing our love of everything Alaska with you!

Why they chose this property

Raven's Flight, nestled in the foothills of the Talkeetna Mountains, is just minutes from a wide variety of Alaskan activities. The Skeetawk Ski Resort and the Historical Hatcher Pass Independence Mines are only a few miles up the road. You won't need to go far to get up close and personal with nature, fishing, hiking, birdwatching, wildlife viewing, flight/sightseeing, foraging, rock hounding, mountain and rock climbing and glacier viewing opportunities abound! Outdoor enthusiasts will find white water rafting groups for hire and watercraft, snowmachine and ATV rentals. The opportunities for adventure are unlimited. Working while you vacation? We offer a dedicated work space with desk, office chair and printer in a quiet hallway away from the main living area.

What makes this property unique

We chose to live in the foothills of the Talkeetna Mountains because we wanted our kids to grow up close to nature and the outdoors, yet still close to their schools and the urban amenities. We feel that makes this a great location for a vacation rental as well, a place to relax between exploration and adventures, rural and urban; we also offer a dedicated work space if you need to work while you play!
