About this property

A Cozy Cottage In South Addition, Right Next To Downtown Anchorage

An 800 square foot cottage in Anchorage's South Addition, just south of downtown. Within walking distance of a bakery, grocery store, tennis courts, the Conoco/Phillips building, the 5th Avenue Mall, the Anchorage Museum, and other attractions. The house has a small yard and, a deck with a grill for outdoor dining, Also included are a small office, laundry facilities, and kitchen equipped with many of the conveniences of home.

Cedar Alley has always worked to provide the cleanest vacation rental possible. Our normal cleaning routine has included stripping the beds down to the bedbug -proof mattress cover and washing all of the items - mattress pad to blankets. In addition, we have steam-cleaned the mattress covers, pillows, upholstered furniture, area rugs, etc. Hard surfaces like counters, tile, flooring, cabinets, door knobs, etc. have been cleaned with a solution of vinegar and water, and commercial cleaners. During this time of increased concern about the possible transmission of viruses we have added the use of bleach solution on these hard surfaces.

We had a great stay here! There were 4 of us for 3 nights. Great walking distance to downtown and we used the washer and dryer before heading out on our Alaska cruise. Hosts could not have been nicer!

Our stay at Cedar Alley was amazing! Pam and Lee thought of everything! The kitchen is so well stocked, and the breakfast supplies were so helpful after 12 hours of travel the day prior. There were fresh baked cookies and candy bowls that were a treat too. The cottage is so sweetly decorated and is very comfortable. Pam definitely goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and special. She offered great recommendations for places to eat and shop that were spot on.

Our family loved staying at Pam and Lee’s beautiful and cozy home. The home is extremely well equipped and they had plenty of additional touches including cookies waiting for you when you arrive. Lee even suggested where we could spot a moose and sure enough, there it was with its calf. If I’m ever back in Anchorage, I will make sure to stay with them again. Excellent.

This was the perfect place for our family's trip to Anchorage. It was walking distance to downtown so we didn't have to worry about parking. The house is a little small and quirky but the space is maximized to fit 4 people if you use the sleeper sofa (which we did and was amazingly comfortable). The owners are right next door and came to say hello and chat. And they left us warm cookies and bread. And there's just about anything else you'd need in the kitchen. We were so happy we stayed here. (And if you see what hotel rooms are going for in the area, you'll realize that it's a bargain, too!)

Fantastic all around!

Everything about the house and owners was fantastic. We would definitely stay there again if back in Anchorage. The house was the best-stocked rental we've ever stayed in and was so cute and clean. The owners are local, very pleasant and helpful. House location good to walk to downtown or midtown.

Great Spot in South Addition!

We loved our stay in Cozy Cottage! So many personalized touches in the home-it was like visiting family. We even got a call from our host Lee letting us know where we could see a moose! Our only wish was that we had more time to enjoy and explore Anchorage. Wonderful hosts made this a great stay!

Great property great location

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything you think you might need or need, is provided. Pam and Lee stocked the fridge for us, so getting in late the night before, we had breakfast foods, fresh homemade bread, and COFFEE, ready the next morning. great location, getting to down town is easy by car or uber, or if you are a good walker, probably about a mile or so to downtown, very safe neighborhood. We will definitely stary there again.

Great location

We spent 3 days in Anchorage and Cedar Alley was the perfect location. We walked to downtown restaurants and found it easy to leave town to go hiking and visit the area. Pamela and Lee are very generous hosts. They worked with us to stock the kitchen before our arrival. The house itself was great for the two of us.

Quaint cottage with everything you need for your stay.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this cottage very well stocked. The owners, who live right across the alley, are very generous (well stocked fridge and fresh baked banana bread for our arrival), friendly, knowledgable about the area, and responsive. Lots of flowers. Nice little patio/deck. Good location, quiet at night, with downtown in walking distance. Thank you!

Easy

Very nice property managers, close enough to downtown to walk, but quite neighborhood that didn't keep you up at night. Very nice home for a short stay. Had everything you would need plus all the extras you never think about. If we come back again I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Pamela and Lee Jenkins

Host profile image
I moved into the house in 1994, and purchased it in 1998. Upon our marriage in 1999, my husband moved in with me. For 16 years this was our family home and saw the addition of two children. When the opportunity to buy a larger home nearby presented itself, we moved, but kept the house so we could give others the opportunity to experience downtown Anchorage living.

Why they chose this property

I bought this house because the area presented the kind of close-knit neighborhood feel I was looking for in a home. Although Anchorage is a very transient place, we have many neighbors who have been here for decades, just as I have been for over 20 years. At the same time, there have been new additions across all age groups, keeping the atmosphere fresh and lively.

What makes this property unique

You can walk to a bakery, a well-stocked grocery, and many downtown attractions. There are bus stops for 4 public transit buses within two blocks. And, if you're driving, the major roads into, out of, and through the city are easily accessible.
