Our stay at this property was wonderful. It is so convenient to downtown. The house is an older home but it is comfortable and welcoming. Our host, Bob, was so friendly and helpful. The two bedrooms upstairs were very clean and the beds were comfortable. The bedrooms downstairs were a bit cold but a heater helped to warm things up. There is a laundry room that was unfinished and cold but the washer and dryer worked well. I would highly recommend this wonderful home to anyone visiting the Anchorage area.

Great location for a reasonable fee.

We loved the location and the amount of space. Beds were comfortable. We wish there would have been enough chairs, dishes, and towels for our entire group. Just be aware extra people beyond six are charged an additional fee.

Easy Walk to Conferences

This was a perfect place to stay while attending an Anchorage Conference. Instead of booking several hotel rooms, we decided to book this house. It has plenty of room, parking and we were able to discuss the different sessions we were attending. This will definitely be our go-to place for future conferences--and for play!

Just what we needed

A 4.5 overall rating (not available) was our preference. This property has the perfect cabin feel, fitting our Alaskan family trip. Our group consisted of 4 people coming from 3 different states. We felt right at home with plenty of space, a clean kitchen with ample supplies and a central location to town. Our rating would be 5 if not for minor ommissions to the listing. Entrance was only through 1 door, a detail not disclosed in the listing. And not all bedroom windows opened. Aside from these, we definitely recommend this property.

Missed potential

This house has the potential to be awesome, but is ruined by its condition and cleanliness. The first thing that strikes you upon entering is the smell. It smells as if it has been sealed up for years with no fresh air. Very musty smelling. After you get used to the smell, it’s hard to ignore the wall to wall shag carpet that is throughout the house, or the fact that every piece of furniture in the living room has holes in it.
