We had such a wonderful stay here. The hosts were amazing — incredibly responsive and truly went above and beyond, even helping search the house after we left when I realized I’d lost my driver’s license. The home was spotless, well stocked with every amenity we needed, and the beds were super comfortable. It was the perfect relaxing getaway. The town itself is quaint, adorable, and such a peaceful place to unwind. Highly recommend staying here.

Thank you so much, Elizabeth! We are so glad you had a wonderful and relaxing stay, and we really appreciate your kind words. It was no trouble at all to help look for your driver’s license after checkout — we know how stressful that can be while traveling. We are happy the home felt clean, comfortable, and well stocked for your visit. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be happy to welcome you back anytime!

This was one of our best experiences staying at a VRBO. The property was clean, bright, and comfortable. We had everything we needed and the host was extremely communicative and helpful. I can't recommend enough! We hope to come back for another stay.

Super cute property! Everything was clean and new. We loved the location and the views are breathtaking. The loft is super cute but definitely for small children. The kitchen had basic essentials and a huge selection of spices. Our biggest complaint was having to remove the trash from the property upon checkout and drive it out of the way to a transfer station.

Thank you, Bob! We’re glad you enjoyed the newly remodeled home, beautiful views, convenient location, and well-stocked kitchen. We appreciate your feedback regarding the loft and the checkout trash requirement. Because Moose Pass does not provide residential trash service, guests currently need to use the local transfer station, but we understand that this can be inconvenient and continue to consider ways to make checkout easier. We are looking into a dumpster rental for next year!

Our stay at the property was nothing short of awesome! I have to admit, we were a little nervous, since we were one of the first guests to book a reservation since the property was recently remodeled and there there were only a few reviews. The property far exceeded our expectations. The location in Moose Pass was a great home base for our exploration of Alaska's amazing Kenai Peninsula. The home was beautifully remodeled and was likely the best stocked VRBO we have ever visited. We had a problem with the lock on the front door on the first day, but the owner was quick to respond and we worked out a way to solve the problem. We have stayed at many VRBO's over the years, but the communication and responsiveness of this owner as at the top of the list.

Thank you so much, Dale! We’re thrilled that The Gandy Dancer exceeded your expectations and provided a comfortable home base for exploring the Kenai Peninsula. We put a great deal of care into remodeling and stocking the home, so your comments mean a lot to us. We also appreciate your patience with the door lock and are glad we could quickly work through it together. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be delighted to welcome you back!

Beds were very comfortable and rooms were spacious. Kitchen is clean and well supplied to cook at the property. Coffee shops nearby, restaurants are further out. Entire property is well maintained and complete with everyday amenities.

What a fantastic VRBO. The pictures and the write-up don’t do it justice. Everything is as described, and the care and attention that has been put into it is amazing. Highly highly recommend.

This house is by far the most modern and nicest house in moose pass!! We loved it!! The only thing that we would want different if we came back would be that we didn't have to take the garbage with us But overall this house was epic!!
