This property was perfect! It was clean, beautifully decorated and maintained and in a perfect location!

Such a warm, clean, and easy place to live while in Anchorage! Stephanie is a wonderful host and her cottage is close to so many of Anchorage's attractions. Many times we would head out to our 'to-do list' and find that it wasn't that far. Also, having a laundry was a bonus! We saved by not having so many packed clothes. We would definitely stay there again and will suggest it to our friends if they find there way to Anchorage!

In town for conference

I had a comfortable, relaxed stay while in town for a conference. Nice, quiet neighborhood and I enjoyed my walk to and from the conference center each day. I cooked for most of my meals and the kitchen had everything I needed. Would definitely stay here again if I get another chance to come to Anchorage.

Great location!

The cottage was in a perfect location to be able to walkabout-even to downtown! We did not rent a car this trip because we visited family and used theirs. We enjoyed walking to the New Sagaya Market for groceries and the Fire Island Bakery for delicious pastry and coffee. Our host Stephanie was very responsive to our needs and available with suggestions for activities. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice, clean rental. There is an additional unit downstairs but was very quiet. Liked that we had off street parking and access to a washer and dryer. Is in a little older part of Anchorage but seemed safe, we didn’t have any problems. Would consider renting again.
