Loved the location. Close to all the activities we did but still felt remote with all the trees.

Hanks house

Unique property that is very peaceful. It has an interesting history. If you are looking for privacy and to get away from the city this is the place for you.

Fabulous location and host

We arrived late and we had snacks and drinks waiting for us. We spent our days out and about but enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere of Hanks House upon our return. If you, like us, want a retreat…sign up.

Hanks House = LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

Hanks House was a fabulous stay. Its location and vicinity to everything in/near Anchorage is/was our main reason for choosing Hanks House (we are familiar with AK and were on a semi business trip). We were able to sightsee, do business, and return home at the end of the day to a wonderful retreat. Our Hostess/Host were through the woods, next door...extremely responsive to our needs, and never saw them maintaining our privacy too. Highly reccommend this VRBO if you are vacationing in AK and need an excellent jump off point!

Unique house with a beautiful location

We came to Alaska for a hockey tournament and found that the owner and her family have a hockey background which was great. Cristy even stopped by to say hi when she was at the rink. Cristy was wonderful and made our stay perfect. Hanks House was in a great location and was a very unique house which our kids loved. Cristy was helpful with any questions that came up and attempting to help us find fun excursions. We enjoyed our time at Hanks House which was a great size for a family of 5. We would love to stay here again if we are ever back in Alaska.

Thank you for your kind words. It was great to meet you and see your son skate in the tournament. Thank you for being great guests and leaving "Hank's House" so clean. We hope you can return when the weather is a little more accommodating!

Hank's House

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Hank's House. It has fun quirks and corners, awesome windows, and lovely wild flowers all around. We didn't see any animals, but some friends who came in for dinner did. Moose! The owners are attentive and very easy to reach should you need anything. Overall we give them 5 stars!! We were honored to be their very first guests! Thanks Cristy!

House on mountain in woods

This is just a great property. Its a house with beautifully done Alaskan alpine landscaping including wildflowers and in the woods. You have total pricacy and we spent many evenings grilling on the deck and letting the kids play in the forest around the house. The house has a lot of nice touches to enhance the Alaska experience like paintings/prints by Alaskan artists, pictures of wildlife, and near floor to ceiling windows to enjoy views of the forest (including the occaisional moose) from inside the house. Inside is cozy and theres an upstairs deck with birdseye views of the property and even a peek theough the trees to the mountains and sea around Anchorage. Also situated on a hill/mountain with the massive Chugach range and state park just above the house. Flattop just a few min away.

Hank's house was a delightful home full of charm and peace! Christy and Vern were excellent hosts and made the entire process smooth and easy! The home offered everything we needed and was a great retreat after days of hiking and exploring! We would definitely rent again!!
