About this property

Oasis of calm in the heart of Anchorage

Welcome to our newly remodeled home, in a wonderfully convenient location! There is easy access to the Seward Highway and the best Anchorage has to offer. We are mere minutes from downtown, and yet the house is still peaceful and serene. We are just a few blocks from the Chester Creek Greenbelt, which is wonderful for walking, jogging, biking and cross-country skiing, and it can lead you to several local parks as well as the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.mThe large open kitchen and dining area make meal preparation a breeze. Barbecue your catch of the day on the back deck while overlooking the spacious shared backyard, then enjoy your meal on the sunny front porch. We were the first home in the neighborhood to add solar panels, and we work to incorporate eco-friendly practices throughout the home. With a newly remodeled master bathroom and a well-stocked kitchen, this home is ready to be your oasis and launching pad for your Alaskan adventure!

Very clean place. The owner is very responsive and the description is accurate. Kitchen is well stocked and the location of the home is excellent and convenient. There are people living on the lower level with separate entrance, but they are very quiet and it was no issue at all.

Oasis of calm was made for our family. We fit perfectly and had plenty of room to hang out. The extra touches (ie: cinnamon rolls and muffins), closet in hallway with a variety of activities for all ages, and just location met our needs well. We enjoyed sitting on the deck too. Thank you for a great start to our vacation.

Great place to stay for large group!

My family of 8 had no problem with space in the house. It had all the necessities needed for cooking and it was comfortable. The next door neighbors were a little loud so we needed ear plugs but other than that the place is truly wonderful. Would definitely stay again!

Top Notch In Anchorage

We had a wonderful stay here! Our host was fabulous and very quick on any questions that we had. The newly remodeled bathrooms were so tastefully done. The location was perfect for what we were looking to do. Very easy to drive downtown for dinners and centrally located for our trips outside of Anchorage. The whole house is extremely well kept. Would definitely stay again and would recommend. Thank you again for allowing us to stay

Don't Hesitate - Book this property!

North Star was the perfect home base for my siblings and I on our first trip to Alaska. It is conveniently located to the airport, downtown Anchorage, the Seward Highway, and many dining and shopping options. Check-in and Check out were super simple, and Jennifer responded to questions and messages quickly. She was easy to work with. The place was extremely well stocked, and we found everything we needed.

Our Alaskation

Upon our Family’s arrival, we were taken back by the corner to corner cleanliness and modern feel throughout. The home was cozy and there was plenty of room for all 8 of us. The private driveway was a real plus bringing in groceries in thru the front. The patio was practically situated and we used the seating on many mornings for coffee. I can recommend this home is plenty fit for any family long term or short term. The price was very reasonable and just makes more sense than a hotel. Great place and the host was fantastic about any questions or concerns we had, going out of their way to make sure we were accommodated properly.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in Alaska most of our lives,. We are passionate about the state, and happy to be raising our children here. I have worked as a travel adviser, tour director, kayak guide and instructor, bike guide, downhill ski instructor, and local guide. We live most of the year in Girdwood, a small ski town about 45 minutes away from Anchorage. We are happy to share our Alaskan experience with our guests to help make your stay as fulfilling as possible!

Why they chose this property

We bought this house to be close to our children's school in Anchorage during the winter. It is also two blocks away from my husband's work and close to everywhere we want to go in Anchorage.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home's bright, airy feel, its large yard, and the proximity to our favorite trails in Anchorage. The warm, sunny front porch has turned into a favorite spot for outdoor meals.
