Jean & John were wonderful hosts. Our children flew in mid morning and Jean was accommodating to let us have the house a couple hours early. We had such a wonderful stay, it felt like home. The grandchildren loved playing in the backyard, we enjoyed the deck and the beautiful Alaska views of mountains, lake and watching the occasional float plane land. Perfect location for our day trips and convenience to railroad and airport. Wonderful stay and great family memories made. Thank YouTom & Carla

The owners are amazing! Great hosts with a beautiful property located in South Anchorage.We came over the Fourth of July and had the opportunity to enjoy the Glacier View Car Launch. You can’t get much more American than watching cars being launched over a 300 foot cliff. Definitely a bucket list item that I never knew was on my bucket list.The property is within close proximity to the major highways (Seward - which I would highly recommend) or to Alaska RT 1.Wildlife is galore in the lake. Some Bald Eagles, Porcupines, and in the distance a moose. Highly recommend this property!

Amazing property. Felt like home away from home. We stayed there with our friends when we were visiting Anchorage and this was our base. Very well maintained, clean and well presented property. Jean was great to deal with and responded quickly when we had any questions. Would absolutely stay again.

We were very happy with the property. The boys were disappointed that the jet ski was not in working order because it was the thing they were most excited about. They loved the bikes and rode several times.

Treassia and her party were great guests. They took care of the house and left everything in very good order. Five star family! Do want to point out that the jet ski was not part of the deal nor advertised as such. In our advert on VRBO we offer an inflatable boat for lake excursions but the jet ski is not mentioned or offered.

Fabulous

This home (and it's definitely a home, not just an impersonal rental) was perfect for our multigenerational family group in town for a wedding. Plenty of comfortable welcoming space to gather, visit, and do wedding prep, along with plenty of room to take quiet time as needed. The deck, lake, and mountain views are amazing, and communication with our host couldn't have been easier. Highly recommend!

Fantastic hosts, great location

We enjoyed an outstanding family week at the lake house! Jean and John are truly delightful hosts - responsive, friendly and relaxed. They clearly wanted us to enjoy their beautiful home, which we surely did. The view from the deck and living areas is beautiful and relaxing. We rented their Land Rover which was a pleasure to drive and good value for the summer high season in AK. A highlight of our stay was flying with John in his float plane right from the house dock! The flight inspired our son to begin pilot training. Our stay was an outstanding experience and we would love to stay again on future visits to AK. Truly an outstanding stay.

A slice of Heaven

Nine of us enjoyed this beautiful, inviting home for the week leading up to our daughter’s wedding. (Our group included 7 adults and 2 kids, ages 7 and 11.) The home is spacious and beautiful, with amenities the hosts made available, from bicycles and a delightful raft for a peaceful excursion along the lake’s shoreline, to coffee and tea and other thoughtful touches that made us feel not only comfortable, but welcome. We could not have chosen a better home base for our family on our special week leading to the wedding. Our deepest thanks to our hosts, Jean and John Wright!

Perfect for the family

Wow! The views! The Lake! The House! My wife and 3 grown boys loved everything about our relaxing 7 day stay here. After daytime visits to glaciers via ATV/Jet-Ski's and seaplanes, we'd get home, I'd grab a beer, my wife a glass of cabernet, we'd step out the patio deck and gaze at the lake below, trees above and and mountain tops in the distance. If you're debating, just treat yourself, you live once!

An Amazing Week

This is a lovely home on a beautiful lake with gorgeous views of snow-covered mountains. What more could one ask? This is not a standard house-for-rent that rotates between incoming customers. This is someone's home that they open up periodically in the most generous way to enable visitors to comfortably experience all that Anchorage has to offer. Kudos to them!

What a joy to live on the lake for a week!@

This property is lovely. We had everything we needed in the home and our group of 7 adults were comfortable the entire week we were there. The owners were available if we needed them during our stay and replied to a text message within minutes. The true magic of this home is the view to the back of the home and the float-plane lake the house sits on. Float planes take off and land during the day and are fascinating to watch. There were bald eagles on the lake as well which added to the "awe" of the location. I would highly recommend this property.

Top Notch

I reserved this stunning home for myself and three colleagues to use on a work trip. The house was gorgeous, and Jean and her easy-to-contact communication style made our stay even more enjoyable. I loved that she was onsite when we checked in; she’s just lovely. The views from the primary bedroom and the downstairs common areas were incredible. The outside deck offered so many options to sit and relax, and it was fun to wave at all the lake residents as they floated by. It was super fun and relaxing to float around the lake on the barge. I look forward to our next work trip. I’d definitely book again.
