About this property

Oasis of calm in the heart of Anchorage

Welcome to our newly remodeled home, in a wonderfully convenient location! There is easy access to the Seward Highway and the best Anchorage has to offer. We are mere minutes from downtown, and yet the house is still peaceful and serene. We are just a few blocks from the Chester Creek Greenbelt, which is wonderful for walking, jogging, biking and cross-country skiing, and it can lead you to several local parks as well as the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.

The large open kitchen and dining area make meal preparation a breeze. Barbecue your catch of the day on the back deck while overlooking the spacious shared backyard, then enjoy your meal on the sunny front porch.

We were the first home in the neighborhood to add solar panels, and we work to incorporate eco-friendly practices throughout the home, including piloting a recycling program, new this year.

With a newly remodeled master bathroom and a well-stocked kitchen, this home is ready to be your oasis and launching pad for your Alaskan adventure!

Stylish and Cozy House
We stayed 8 days in August at this stylish and cozy house in Anchorage. It is well equipped with all the things you would need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to bake and cook. They have all the appliances you need (I really wanted a blender, and they had one), and a huge rack of spices too! The landlord even left drinks in the fridge for us. If we had any questions, the landlord was quick to answer and help. The tv had a large selection of shows and there is a big deck out front with a table to enjoy your meals or just a beverage. On the back deck is a great barbecue , which we really used a lot. The laundry room is huge and well equipped . We had a wonderful stay at a very special house.

This property worked out well for our extended family of 8. Everyone got a bed and we all fit comfortably around the dining room table. The house was well stocked with all we needed and the host was friendly and easy to get in touch with. I even enjoyed the outdoor space on the front deck. I would book again if I was in Anchorage.

Top Notch In Anchorage
We had a wonderful stay here! Our host was fabulous and very quick on any questions that we had. The newly remodeled bathrooms were so tastefully done. The location was perfect for what we were looking to do. Very easy to drive downtown for dinners and centrally located for our trips outside of Anchorage. The whole house is extremely well kept. Would definitely stay again and would recommend. Thank you again for allowing us to stay

Great place to stay for large group!
My family of 8 had no problem with space in the house. It had all the necessities needed for cooking and it was comfortable. The next door neighbors were a little loud so we needed ear plugs but other than that the place is truly wonderful. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in Alaska most of our lives,. We are passionate about the state, and happy to be raising our children here. I have worked as a travel adviser, tour director, kayak guide and instructor, bike guide, downhill ski instructor, and local guide. We live most of the year in Girdwood, a small ski town about 45 minutes away from Anchorage. We are happy to share our Alaskan experience with our guests to help make your stay as fulfilling as possible!

Why they chose this property

We bought this house to be close to our children's school in Anchorage during the winter. It is also two blocks away from my husband's work and close to everywhere we want to go in Anchorage.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home's bright, airy feel, its large yard, and the proximity to our favorite trails in Anchorage. The warm, sunny front porch has turned into a favorite spot for outdoor meals.
