About this property

The Crane House - Close to airport, Mountain view, Lake

Our spacious four-bedroom home has the best of both worlds - the convenience of being in the heart of the city (10 min drive to downtown) AND gorgeous mountain views & wildlife right in our backyard. Within 5 minutes of landing, you could be sipping a drink on our large deck overlooking the mountains and a small semi-private lake. There are sandhill cranes that often frequent our yard, along with moose and waterfowl.

Fully stocked kitchen / Grill / Fire pit / High chair & pack n play crib / Lake toys.

Note: I live downstairs in the bottom unit. You have the upper unit and deck all to yourself but you will likely see myself or my partner in the yard.

Lovely property!

We’ve stayed in lots of VRBOs and this was one of the best. The view is better than the pictures let on and there was plenty of space, we had three generations under one roof. Super clean, well equipped, great deck, quiet neighborhood, only a mile from the airport. If ever back in Anchorage with a group, we’d stay again!

I forgettable views!

This home was perfect for us and the best place to start our Alaska adventure! The views from the property are breathtaking, the beds are extremely comfortable and the main bedroom shower was amazing!

Six Star Experience

My wife and I met five friends from the Lower 48 to hang out, play games and see Alaska. Great communication with Alyse from reservation through check out. The house is very well-designed - clean, modern, comfortable and tastefully decorated. We really appreciated the house plant selection. The kitchen was great, well-supplied, and very functional. The only downside is that it is close to the airport, so bring earplugs if you are noise-sensitive. Alyse was very responsive when we needed something - weighted blanket, WD40, whatever. Super-friendly. Beautiful backyard and deck. Even a row boat for the pond. Everyone loved the Crane House!
