This is a beautiful property, thoughtfully decorated. It is close to downtown and to the Chugach State Park hiking trails, which are some of the most beautiful trails we have ever hiked. The owner was kind, and answered our questions quickly. I highly recommend the property.

This property is amazing! I have never stayed at a VRBO that was so well appointed, spotless, exactly as shown on the VRBO sight. The beds were very comfortable and having the laundry was a bonus! The kitchen had everything you could possibly think of. It is a short 15 minute drive from the airport in a great neighborhood and made a wonderful home base for our stay. I would highly recommend this property!

What an amazing place. The view was breathtaking. The instructions on checking in very clear. The place is clean, modern and beautifully decorated. Also very well stocked. Plenty of towels, bedding, and especially kitchen supplies. I know this part sounds funny... but also nice toilet paper & kleenex.It's nice not to get stuck with one-ply. Attention to detail is like no other. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay in Anchorage

My husband and I stayed here for a few days in May 2019. Lovely space, super clean, well-equipped, and just far enough from the downtown Anchorage to get the "we are in Alaska" fee without a hassle of long commutes. Highly recommended.

This was the last stop on The instructions to get in were very easy to get in. It was a little confusing finding the rental because the address given was 10000 but the building was 9998. We were very happy with the house! Thank you for sharing your space with us.

The most charming home and hostess. Every inch of this beautiful cottage was decorated with love!

Donna- went to great lengths to make our stay in Alaska very special. Her guest home is absolutely beautiful. She thought of everything. This guest home is cozy, comfortable, and absolutely beautiful. You will enjoy your stay tremendously. It has a beautiful view and you feel it is a home away from home. I will recommend this place to everyone who visits. If I could give in ten stars I would.

A Great Place to stay.

The guest house was comfortable and located near our family. We enjoyed watching the chickadees feast out the window and had two lengthy visits of moose in the drive. Donna was helpful with answers for questions and additional supplies. An unexpected perk was the driveway. With the new snow it made the perfect sled run for our 2 year old granddaughter. We look forward to coming back next year.

A true gem!

This apartment, which feels more like a cabin, is absolutely wonderful. If it is available, stop looking and book it! Located just outside of Anchorage in the hills, it has everything you need. Clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped. There are even a few furry and feathered friends (outside) to provide entertainment if you grow weary of trying to spot a moose. A nature trail is just around the corner, but weather prevented us from exploring it. Loved our stay here!

Enjoyable stay

We enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. It was well appointed and comfortable, and it was very reasonably priced, especially considering how expensive hotels are in Anchorage in summer. We appreciated having additional fans in the bedroom for white noise at night, and the bed was comfortable. We also loved the gas fireplace and kitchen. We arrived late at night and were a bit confused about where the apartment was located because there are multiple buildings at the property and the listing said street number XXXXX, but the apartment is over the garage which is actually XXXX. We found it quickly enough though, and hopefully we didn't wake anyone up walking around the property!
