I just have to say, I’ve never had a host as kind and thoughtful as Deb. My boyfriend and I traveled to Alaska for only 24 hours on a whim. I wanted to make it special for him and make it a celebration for graduating; she legit went and bought everything I asked for with a basket and made the stay so special. I’m so thankful for Deb, our Alaska stay felt so much longer because of her hospitality and beautiful home. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

This was a beautiful property. The hot tub with the Mountain View is gorgeous. The house is nice, had all the basics you would need with a small fridge and microwave. The only issue we had was the noise from the house above was quite loud. It might not bother everyone, but I’m a very light sleeper and could hear the dogs, people walking etc. if you’re a light sleeper like me this might be not be a good option. Everything else was good!

The view is stunning. Enjoyed sitting in the hot tub overlooking the mountains. Could also sit in the living room and gaze over the mountains. We were welcomed with a bowl of large berry muffins and fruit. Deb was very responsive to my questions. I didn’t read close enough of the description to realize there wasn’t a cooking range but we made due with the grill and griddle outside. That was my fault for not reading the property description. We enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Deb Ley

Host profile image
Thanks for booking our property. We truly love having people in our home. Dave currently serves at the Alaska Bible College and Deb teaches piano and manages the rooms and we both love dogs (Goldens and basset hounds). We also love the great hiking and biking in Alaska and just love that you have chosen our place to stay. Enjoy the beautiful view and the complimentary muffins and fruit as you relax at our place.

Why they chose this property

Its view!!!! We love Wasilla and all that it has to offer: grocery stores, a variety of places to eat, beautiful places to explore.

What makes this property unique

It is one hour from Ted Stevens International Airport and almost 2.5 hours to Denali. Its a short drive into Wasilla for food and delicious eating but half a mile to Three Bears for some pick up food or groceries/gas. Right around the corner is one of the best restaurants in the area, Settlers Bay Lodge and golf course. The space we offer is reasonably priced and has a large private area for guests to kick back and relax. The bedrooms are comfortable and the gas fireplace makes for a cozy space to relax after a long day of traveling and exploring. The mini kitchen is perfect for some light cooking with a grill outside to cook your fresh salmon
