Awesome place to stay in Juneau

We enjoyed this property as a group of 8 people and had no trouble finding everything that we needed. Great communication from the host, and the use of rental cars is a huge bonus. This is a great location close to the glacier. Thanks for letting us use this great place!

Excellent location and property

My two sisters and I fly to Juneau to visit our brother. It had been too many years since we were all together. The property was perfect. We each had our own space and yet we could all gather to play a game and visit. It is exactly as the listing shows. An excellent choice.

Trip to Juneau

This property was a very comfortable and clean! We didn’t spend much time in the house besides sleeping but it was an excellent place to rest up after several long days of hiking. We also rented their car which was very convenient for our last minute rental. The house is about 15-20 minutes outside of downtown Juneau and less than 10 minutes from the airport. Mark the owner was very good to communicate with. His response time was quick whenever we needed him although we tried to bug him as little as possible. Overall I would recommend staying at this house to anyone and if we make it back to Juneau this is the place I would want to stay.

Can’t say enough good things about our stay here. House clean, neat, provided everything we needed

Marc and Katrina were most excellent hosts. The home was neat and clean and had a warm homey feel. They bent over backwards making our stay great- they had snacks and coffee and tea. A pretty bouquet of fresh flowers. If we called or texted to ask a question they answered in less than 5 minutes. Provided information on area attractions and restaurants. The location is convenient with a fantastic view from the front door. Very private with a lovely yard. If we go back will definitely stay here. If I could give it 6 stars I would. We use VRBO frequently and this was one of our best stays ever. Thanks Marc and Katrina we loved it!!!

Best Juneau location!

My family and my sister's family stayed at this home for a little over a week. It was conveniently located near the airport, hiking trails, and the glacier. It had plenty of pots and pans and dishes. We enjoyed the yard in the front with the grass and patio set and barbequed in the backyard. It was nice to have a washer and dryer for our use as well. We enjoyed the board games too. There was plenty of seating for everyone at the dining table and on bar stools. Plenty of hot water for all nine of us. The master bedroom was spacious and had a nice jacuzzi tub. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of bedding. We were so glad that there were two cars that we were able to rent from the hosts. It saved us hundreds of dollars! We loved our stay and would highly recommend staying here. The hosts were easy to work with and very friendly with recommendations for things to do.

Great property, excellent location!

We really enjoyed ourselves here. Peaceful location. My sister and I took our Mom (84yo) to Juneau because it was a place she always wanted to experience. The house was great, the location is convenient to everything we wanted to do. Convenient walking trails and a river nearby for those morning walks. It was really an enjoyable week. Thank you for Mark and Katrina for being so helpful and responsive. The only hiccup was transport to the airport (10 mins away) at 6 am for an 8 am flight. Juneau seems to struggle with cab service. Four cab companies (two never answered) and no cabs available to schedule that early. Uber said no service but wanted me to book on demand in the morning (not a great idea to wait) and Lyft promised pickup by 6:10 am, but after several hours no Lyft driver accepted the gig. So Marc called Chris (the neighbor) who was kind enough to take us. Great guy! Wish I had said hello earlier to him and his family earlier in our trip. I highly recommend this property. It was a great experience!
