This house was perfect for our family over Christmas! They had a Christmas tree all lit up for us when we arrived! The rooms were cozy - the game room was a huge hit - the hot tub was huge and so nice to sit in and look at the stars! This house had everything we needed for a very special family Christmas and the host was responsive and communicated well! We would definitely love to stay there again!

Great communication with Jeremiah. The house itself is really fun. We had two families with kids aged 13 to 20, and everyone found something enjoyable to do in the game room. We had some intense ping-pong and pool tournaments, and a few people really got into the video games. The adults appreciated the hot tub as well.

We enjoyed this property! It is close to all of our planned activities in Hatcher Pass. The house is spacious and has a great gameroom and a hot tub. We were so busy we didn't have a chance to try out the hot tub, but we'll stay and extra day here next time. The property is very private and comfortable. We slept well after a very full day outdoors each day.

Nice spot in a nice town

The house was great for the number of people we had. The deck was nice to hang out on and the kitchen was great for cooking meals. The property and rooms were clean and comfortable. Only issue we had was on with the Vrbo side of things and once I have communication with Jeremiah, everything went smooth and he was very helpful.

Host was very good at communication. The house was a logistical dream for our athletes who competed at GPRA over three days. Some comments I overheard from the athletes included, “The bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. The game room is amazing and we are sad to leave it.. The property had ample parking with well plowed driveways. The house is spacious and fit eight student athletes and two adult chaperones. The hot tub was used, and the kitchen was well used. Everything was great for a large group. Nicely done!
The location made it easy for coaches to drop in for team meetings

Host profile image
I’m a retired U.S. Air Force veteran who loves building places people actually enjoy staying in. I’m hands-on, detail-oriented, and big on comfort, cleanliness, and clear communication. I host because I genuinely enjoy helping people experience Alaska the right way—whether that’s adventure, relaxation, or a little of both. If you need recommendations or help during your stay, I’m always a message away.

What makes this property unique

This home was intentionally designed to be part of the experience—not just a place to sleep. A standout feature is the dedicated game and entertainment room with a private movie theater, pool table, ping pong, darts, and classic arcade games. After a day of skiing, hiking, or exploring Alaska, you can unwind in the outdoor hot tub and take in the fresh air and quiet surroundings. With a comfortable layout, modern amenities, and thoughtful details throughout, the house offers a rare blend of adventure, entertainment, and relaxation in one memorable stay.
