About this property
My Grandmother's cozy home - FREE Laundry & Wi-fi
Calling all adventurers, road trippers, and weekend warriors! Ditch the cookie-cutter hotels and experience the charm of a 1950s stunner, freshly revived for your short-term escape.
Imagine this:
Step back in time: Feel the history in the vintage details, but enjoy the modern comforts of fresh paint, plush carpet, and sleek LVP floors.
Space to spread out: Four bedrooms! Three with cozy beds for sweet dreams, and one with a dedicated workspace – perfect for remote work or catching up on that Netflix binge. Bonus: an extra monitor and fold-up bed for unexpected guests (or just extra lounging space!).
Your private backyard oasis: The fenced yard, accessible through the covered carport, beckons for BBQs under the stars, lazy afternoons in the sun, or epic yard games with your crew.
Prime location for exploration: Walk to the university, shop till you drop, or soak up the park vibes. Need to hit the road? The main highway is a stone's throw away.
This ain't your average short-term stay – it's an experience. Book your adventure now and unlock a taste of nostalgia with modern convenience.

About the host
Hosted by Derek
Anchorage lifer here! I love sharing my city's secrets (best coffee shop? Hike with epic views?) with new friends. When I'm not exploring the world myself, you'll find me catching hoops or hanging with family. Welcome to your home away from home!
Why they chose this property
This isn't just a house, it's a story you can stay in...
This vintage charmer holds more than just bricks and mortar - it's woven with history and family love. My grandparents bought it in the early 70s, back when my mom was rocking bell-bottoms and blasting Zeppelin. It's seen generations laugh, cry, and create memories that fill its walls with warmth. In 2020, I took over after my amazing grandma passed away, and let me tell you, her spirit definitely lives on here.
Think cozy evenings curled up with a good book in the same spot she used to tell stories, or backyard BBQs crackling in the same spot they hosted their infamous summer bash. Every corner whispers tales of family, and I can't wait to share it with you.
So, ditch the sterile hotel rooms and come stay in a place with a soul. Book your adventure and become part of our story!
Here's why it's perfect for you:
Live history: Feel the warmth of generations in this 70s time capsule.
Family vibes: Cozy up in a space filled with love and laughter.
Unique experience: No cookie-cutter hotel rooms here, just genuine charm.
Connect with the host: Get to know the story behind the house and its connection to the land.
Bonus: I'm a local and can fill you in on all the hidden gems, from the best coffee shop to the secret hiking trail with epic views.
Ready to trade bland for a sprinkle of family magic? Book your stay now and discover what happens when history meets hospitality!
