We had a staycation here with a visiting friend. This was a very quiet neighborhood, and we felt safe and we able to rest and enjoy the space. The TV was easy to use, the wifi worked well for remote work. The space is decorated beautifully. It was clean. A couple notes - the washer and dryer are in the garage where the tenants park. And the kitchen accessories are pretty basic for your future planning :) The neighbors were mostly very quiet except for one morning as they left for work.
We stayed the for a week: it was very clean and comfortable. It felt like home: it was equipped with every you needed. I would recommend this is the place to stay !!!!!
We had a good stay at Lions Loft. My 13 year old called the little cubby her own and slept in it all 3 nights. The jacuzzi was just what we needed after a long day of travel.
This was such a fun place to stay. The lion theme was a hit with the kids, the beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked and the only complaint was the kids arguing over who’s turn it was to hang in the Cub Cave!
This is a perfect location for anyone PCS’ing/visiting JBER and within 12 minutes of the hospital or University. Nearby shopping is also a huge plus.
Thanks for hosting us!!
Just as described and as cute as pictures show it. It was clean and well maintained (with only one minor hole in the wall likely from an active kid climbing into the fun wall cave). Nice full kitchen! Close to grocery store. Neighborhood less than ideal but it worked well for us for 3 days. Thank you!
Everything was perfect. Very clean. Would have been nice to have a few more non wine glasses and more than two two towels. Otherwise nothing to really complain about
House was even nicer than advertised. Tucked away in a nice small sub-division about 15 minutes from anything in Anchorage. Great upstairs unit for a small family, it was three of us, and my daughter loved the mini rock climbing wall into the wall fort. Definitely recommend! Owners very helpful and quick to respond.
We booked the Lion's Loft after our original VRBO listing turned out to be left listed in error. The owner kindly allowed us to book the property last minute. It is pleasantly adorned and furnished and very clean. All appliances are in good working order and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The kids enjoyed the cub cave hangout nook. The beds were very comfortable and the shades kept the rooms dark at night. Check in and out was easy and seamless. I wouldn't hesitate to book the property again.

Location and Cost
We were worried about the location because of the few streets before we got to the place appeared kind of unsafe, but the house seemed okay. I didn't expect the high cost for cleaning and taxes. All and all it was okay.
Overall this was a great place to stay for a couple nights while we explored anchorage. Three things: 1) There was damage to the “rock wall” used to access the loft area where our daughter wanted to sleep. This was due tot he anchors not being in a wall stud, easy to see it had pulled out at some point. This made us cautious to let her use the rock wall as we didn’t want to cause more damage. 2) There was a roof leak coming in the microwave vent onto the peninsula, I messaged the host about this but never recieved a response. 3) There were dishes in the dish washer., in order to insure they were clean we washed them again.
Overall very minor things and we would stay again.
The freezer was leaking. Something in the inside back vent was dripping lots of water that got all over the floor. It is continuous dripping.
The toilet upper inside rim needed to be scrubbed better. It has poop marks. Noticed when grandson lifted the lid to urinate.
I may have left a pick satchel with earrings in it?
Let me know if upu or employee find it.
When I first arrived I was a lil confused on where to park but figured it. Was instructed to park on the far right which was kinda difficult because I have a truck and it was a small spot. Once I got in the apartment I was amazed on how clean and beautiful it was. The kitchen was huge and the living room what awesome. The bedrooms were nice and well put together. Issues we had were, we were told there was a space heater but there wasnt and the VRBO app didn't work so I had to rely on emails to send messages. But other that, it was a great experience l.
I'd love to give this place a five-star review since the house layout and amenities were top notch. The house was as described. Pros - two spacious bedrooms (one queen, one king), plus the extra kids cubby. Easy to find, easy access, great laundry facility, dual coffee maker, nice fridge and gas stove. Cons - very little in kitchen in the way of full size pans to cook a meal. A few spices and olive oil, and random dry goods, but no condiments or staples. No big deal as groceries & Walmart are nearby.
The neighborhood seems a bit rundown, but not unsafe. We didn't use the hot tub as there was no privacy from view of neighboring houses. The downstairs neighbors were friendly. Not sure if something was going on the days we were there, but they opened the garage door at 3am and noisily banged connecting doors and talked. If you're a light sleeper, I would look for a house where you're renting the whole thing, not just one floor, as in this instance. (Yes, this was clearly disclosed in the property description.)
Katie was an excellent host and was able to assist me when I could not locate the access code for the door. She resent all the relevant details to my cell phone and gave me quick tips on what to do and not do. She was awesome! I'm sure if we had been there longer and I had notified her of the noise issue, she would have helped come to a resolution.
We loved Anchorage! Take a drive down Turnagain Arm to Portage to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.
