Easy Peasy Woodsy Breezy

Dennis and Sherry really made us feel welcome! After staying in hotels for a couple of days, this VRBO was such a relief! The washer/dryer and kitchen amenities were great! This place was cozy and well located for hiking and recreation! We would absolutely stay here again!

Excellent property

Our stay was wonderful. Dennis and his wife were awesome hosts and the property was beautiful. Great location to the tail race and hiking trails and easy on and off major roads to get to local sites. It was great crash pad and lounge around pad.

Had a wonderful time. The hostess was so nice. They even had homemade bread and jam waiting for us. Who does that anymore? Thanks so much for everything.

Better than the photos!

We had a very comfortable stay here! It is so nice, even better than the photos. The hosts are great and take care of the unit themselves. Beds were amazing, the kitchen had everything we needed. The heated floor in the main bathroom is such nice feature! We felt safe and comfy... this made a great home base for us to explore Alaska!

Beautiful location

I was told to stay outside Anchorage for my Alaskan adventuring with my son - to get outside the city, closer to the raw land, and boy was that the right decision to make. This VRBO is right at the base of a mountain and pretty close to a river, a lovely setting. The inside of the home was fantastic and met all our needs. It's adjacent to another rental location which might have been good to know but that worked out just fine. Wifi info is mentioned on the first page of the blue journal book on the kitchen counter. If we ever visit again I'll be sure to see if this place is available again.

Artistic, Classy, Away From It All Option

One of the nicest VRBO stays I’ve ever had: New. Modern. Clean. So much great art. Washer and dryer. Quiet surroundings. Fresh bread and marmalade jam. This was a perfect location (north of Anchorage) and option for a group of two couples looking to see authentic Alaska for a few days before hopping on a cruise ship in Whittier (just south of Anchorage). Dennis’s place was a thousand times better than paying for two overpriced hotel rooms in the middle of town in Anchorage. Coming from the lower 48 means late arrivals in the dark at the end of a long travel day, and the check-in process couldn’t have been easier for us weary travelers. Highly recommend!
