Beautiful home away from home

Property was clean and organized. Everything we needed was there and more. There were games and books that made it fun even for our 6 yr old granddaughter. Very much appreciated the beautiful and quite setting.

Amazing property, people and location

Just a great experience for us. Beautiful cottage, very well decorated and in a perfect location for exploring in Alaska. The owner (and her family) was no less amazing and made us feel right at home. We loved our time here and are most appreciative to Lisa and family for the use of their beautiful cottage and the great Alaska hospitality. Big thanks!

Five Stars All Around!

Wild Rose Cottage was the perfect place to stay for a couple of days. Lisa has truly thought of everything - the simple things like plenty of towels, soap, well-equipped kitchen. The extra touches like a coffee station, snacks, ziplock bags, and LOTS of travel brochures and info about Alaska. The view over the bluff is just stunning, and the outdoor patio to sit and hang out is perfect. Definitely one of the best VRBOs we have stayed at!

The views from the cottage were so beautiful the pictures we took looked paintings! The cottage was spotless, decorated in the most welcoming way, and the appliances were top notch. The owners were amazing. They had great suggestions for local sightseeing! We visited Denali and Whittier and lots of places in between. I would definitely book this place again in the future.

Lovely cottage - host should clone and have others

This cottage was lovely - from the design and layout of the cottage to the warm welcoming personality of our host, Lisa. Perfect for attending our nieces wedding and visiting the the Mat-Su Valley. Bed was super comfy, kitchen was stocked with nice-to-haves and bathroom was roomy with closet and washer/dryer. Very nice welcome binder with lots of info about the cottage as well as brochures for visiting the area.

The cottage was well stocked beyond expectations and super clean. Plenty of utensils for cooking, games, books to read, info on local attractions and great local coffee. Bed was comfortable. Everything functioned properly. Property owners were there to great us, including their grandkids - nice touch. This cottage is where we will stay when visiting our family in Wasilla.

The BEST ever!

The cottage was beautifully decorated with all the things to make you feel at home. It was super clean and had everything you could need. The view was spectacular from the bluff. We enjoyed sitting there looking at nature. Added bonus was we had family close by. Lisa was very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed visiting with her. Hopefully we will be able to plan a return visit soon.

This is an incredible place to stay with everything my son and I could need. It had a comfortable bed, full and well appointed kitchen, and washer/dryer. I appreciate all the little details that the host provided. They were also extremely friendly and we felt welcome. Thank you so much! This was the best rental we had in our two weeks in Alaska.

This property was absolutely the best VRBO WE HAVE EVER RENTED.

The information on the web site does not do it justice. This rental is Over the top beautiful with a comfortable bed that feels Like a cloud. Very creative decor and spotless in every way. We just loved orb.!The host is a complete angel and she gave us bagels to start the next day as we flew in late to Alaska. I would and will go back to that the next time we are in Alaska. Lovely three restful days.

Honeymoon Happiness

Driving into the neighborhood of the Cottage made us feel at home. The property is very inviting and cozy. The inside of the cottage is bright and welcoming. The kitchen is perfect size for the 2 of us and everything was cleaned, labeled and ready to use. The bed is very comfortable and the mountain view from the bedroom is amazing! We enjoyed being able to walk up to the front yard area to enjoy our coffee and more of the view also. Almost every day of our stay we got to see moose in the yard grazing on willow. This cottage really made us feel like we were in Alaska! I highly recommend staying here for almost any occasion. The accessibility to shops, stores and tourist areas are within 5-15 minutes away, and a nice in between drive to Denali, and Seward and everywhere in between! The host family is very pleasant and kind, you can really tell they put their heart into the Wild Rose Cottage. We can’t wait to come back and visit soon! Thank you Wild Rose Cottage for being a big part of our amazing Honeymoon!

As far as the property goes it was very welcoming and so many cute finishing touches. She definitely thought of everything. The bed was super comfortable and it was a relaxing place to be. The short walk to the view was absolutely stunning. Just know if you go here the rules are VERY STRICT. Quiet time is 10pm which we knew. We went out to eat with family then they checked the place out (they live close, 1.5 miles, and always looking for recommendations for friends). They beeped their horn at 10:04 when leaving (like love you bye, 3 beeps) and within 2 minutes we had a message reminding us it’s quiet time and only 2 visitors allowed. Our visitors weren’t there long at all and we were super quiet just ending the night. The host drove by in a side by side and kept an eye on the property every time. Another time our family dropped us off and we looked over and the host was in the driveway looking at us. It always felt like we were being watched. They never walked over and introduced themselves so we thought it was a bit odd. We left the place very clean and were respectful of the space but if you stay here don’t honk your horn. And the bugs are terrible so lots of bug spray and don’t plan to be outside.

Fantastic spot in Wasilla

We are a family of 4 visiting as previous residents of Alaska. We loved the convenience of Lisa's cottage to Settler’s Bay Golf course. We loved our stay and found all amenities valuable. Our two kids- age 7 and 5 - slept on the pull out couch. It was a comfy, cozy, cottage for our brief visit. We would stay again and also recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Beautiful cottage that feels like home

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely property. From the moment we pulled up to the cottage we felt like we had landed somewhere truly special. The hosts are great communicators and have thought of everything you could need. They have an outdoor patio complete with a grill, table and comfy chairs, hammocks, and outdoor games set up for you to enjoy. On the inside the decor is very cozy, clean, and inviting. You feel like you've taken in a wonderful breath of fresh air when you arrive in this property. We wish we had booked this cottage for more days, and hope to come back in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Short

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Alaska. My husband moved here with his family in 1984 from Texas. We have raised 4 kids in Alaska (2 still at home). We are blessed to be grandparents to 2 sweet grandsons. We love Alaska for the people, the land, the beauty, the freedom, the fresh air and more!

Why they chose this property

This property was inherited by my grandfather who homesteaded in Alaska in the 1950's. He worked hard to improve the land and his legacy carries on in all my family that now has 6-10 acre parcels on the land. The 120 acres is still owned by original family members.

What makes this property unique

The incredible, unobstructed view of the Chugach Mountain Range and Cook inlet. The view is always changing with the seasons and the weather. It never gets old and we never take it for granted! This property is quiet and surround by family. Our kids ride their bikes on our road, take walks to see Grandma down the road and have grown up playing in these woods! You might even spot my grandsons on a walk!
